Chris: I'd check the frame rate on your original files. We don't do video grabs within XPression, but sometimes I'll get sent a file that, even though it is 1280x720, it was rendered at 30fps. The XPression Video Coder won't convert this - it just takes every 60 frames and crams ...

Hello all: Is there a scripting command similar to 'Append to Line', but using objects? I want to add an object (it's actually an existing text object, but it could be a quad) to a line of text. As far as I can figure out, the 'Append to Line' function only works with a text string. ...
