When setting the still image import preferences I am supposed to adjust for the length of the video in this dialog box.
My question is Do these numbers reflect HH:MM:SS:100th/sec??? Meaning Hours: Minutes: Seconds: and Fraction thereof?

Hours: Minutes: Seconds: Frames - Noel

Oh! Frames! So, if I want to have 30 FPS I should put it in here?

You're telling it, if I remember correctly, how long to show the still.

Yes, the 30 fps is in the last two digits.

yup...just had a look back and that's what it's for alright! I have to get familiar with it again because I'm about to make my demo reel.

If you looked in the manual and could make any sense of it Teyon, then your a better man than me. Translation was not one of my better skills.

You'll note that it says "Base 30." For most video work base 30 is fine butt he base rate can be changed if you want to. In all honesty, I always leave mine defaulted at "Length of Composition." I can always trim it back if I need to. It doesn't add any overhead to the program or anything.

What I find most challenging with all the Adobe Products I own; I'm a bit poor of vision and prefer to read manuals as instructions on a web page. Unlike Renderosity, the print on Adobe's pages is smaller than the fine print on my credit card.
It's frustrating to turn to the manual to find out how to do something, then it says to check the help section. The help section's print is very small, but tells you to go to Adobe on line. Then you get to play the FAQ game. None of the questions/answers, are applicable. So you click the Contact Us.
Their answer comes a week later "Join our club for $$ a month and we'll tell you what you need to know.
So, why in the hell did I just plunk down over $1,500 for PS/CS, After Effects, and Audition just to be treated like a victim of extortion? I've seen car dealers do jail time for running rackets like this. Where's Ralph Nader when you really need him?

A good manual is priceless! --- I don't like browser-based help either. --- I just noticed in my previous post it says, "butt he base rate can be changed" That should read "but the base rate can be changed"

Thanx Bob.
IMHO: Adobe should pay Renderosity for answering questions!

And Renderosity should pay us for providing entertainement (and training & education & resources) that brings in lurkers who spend money in the marketplace! (grin)

Right On Bob! Right On!
As you surely know, most of the help around here doesn't get paid anyway, and I really appreciate all those who help out who have no titles at all.
Without the crowd at Renderosity, many of us be completely lost!
