Thanks, Papajohn! NOTE: fix for stalling/incrementing counter issu

[Guest]

Just a quick note to thank Papajohn for that phenomenal site... had a major problem wherein my attempts to save a series of clips led to a perpetually-incrementing 'minutes remaining..." counter (at one point I'd waited til it was at 4589 minutes remaining) and not much else.

The answer was to slice my original timeline in half, save that reduced timeline at a much higher rate than I intended originally, then create the second half of my original timeline again, save at same way-too-high rate, then re-import those high-rate output files, create a new timeline with the new high-rate segments, then add title/credits, and re-save the whole shebang at my desired (lower) rate. Worked like a charm!

This newsgroup RULES, Papajohn RULES, and MM2 is... eh... not too shabby when it works!

Thanks for the comment.... Yes, MM2 was meant for the smaller more casual
use. But, as we learn about it's limitations, we can push and tweak things
to do lots more.

I'm glad you got over your hurdle.... and thought to make a post.
