Is this possible in a custom app? Martin Baker www.digital-heaven.co.uk _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

Might work on Shake (I don't have it) but unfortunately it doesn't work on the other apps but thanks for suggesting it. Martin, With Apple Knowledge Base article 301048 I read that motion projects can be renamed with .mov vs. .motn for Shake compatibility. I would have to think this might work with your QT app? I'm trying to view Motion projects in a custom QT app but am not having much luck. Some background: Project files created by Apple's Motion app are saved in XML format with the extension ".motn". QuickTime player will happily open a Motion project and displays it as a movie with a single video track with "Format" of "Motion". You'd imagine that QuickTime being QuickTime, you'd get the same result in any QT based app but this isn't the case. So far I've found only Compressor will open the files successfully.
