Don't know if this has been sorted, but I've just upgraded to an Intel iMac and had the same problem. I've sorted it by going to the website http://www.techsmith.com/download/codecs.asp and downloading and installing the codec for Intel macs. The mime settings for QuickTime are the default settings....

Thanks again, Mark. I've posted a report, no. 7496. (Hope I did it ok, it's the first time I've used the QCC).

Best

Hi Mark, thanks for the reply.

No, I mean the dropper tool, which you use to 'pick up' a colour. I've selected it by using the command 'choose dropper tool' in the script, and it used to work in Rev.3.0 under Tiger, but doesn't in Rev.3.0 under Leopard.

Best,

Eric.

Rev quits when I use the dropper tool on os x 10.5

When using the dropper tool in a stack on os x 10.4 it worked fine. I've had to buy a new mac (old one packed in) and now when using the stack on 10.5 Rev quits as soon as I click using the dropper tool. There are no messages, it just quits.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Eric

Mark, you're a genius! It turned out to be a bit more complicated because I already had a mousemove doing something else in the graphic (allowing the graphic to be grabbed and moved around within the confines of a group). But I got there in the end. I can now select either a polygon tool or a droppe...

Hi Mark. Thanks again for your suggestions. The problem I'm having is getting back to the browser tool. All the 'mouse...' messages seem to only work when in browser mode, so once I've chosen the polygon or dropper tool, I can't work out a way to reset to the browser. Well, that's not quite accurate...

Hi Mark. Thanks to your original reply, I've actually achieved the result I wanted. As you suggested, I've created a new image the same size as the original, gone into polygon tool mode, drawn a polygon, set the inside to black, and used that for the maskData. Its all worked ok. But I still only hav...

Hello Mark. Many thanks for your reply. Yes, that all makes sense, and I'm working my way through it. I've found one problem, which is to do with selecting the polygon tool. The dictionary states for the polygon: Comments: When using the Polygon tool, the cursor is a crosshairs shape (over images) o...

Image selection?

I'm new to Revolution, just had it a few weeks. I've been able to do quite a bit with graphics, but there's one problem I can't seem to solve. I load a jpeg file from disk and display it as an image. Just as an example, it's picture of a scene with a car in the foreground. What I want to do is be ab...
