Hi Milton,

That app which crops movies sounds quite desirable. I guess it`s a similar case to the app you created for making your mosaics as to general access to it?

Nope, it's different. I sold the code for that application to a company about 9 years. I can use it internally for my own amusement, but I can't use it as a base for a new application or re-use it.

It's old anyhow, so there isn't much point and looking at it as Apple has obsoleted all the APIs for it and has not replaced them with new Apis. Same thing with the Sequence Grabber and VDIG components. I have to boot into OS 9 / Classic to edit the GUI for them. Apple obsoleted the API and tools and hasn't released anything as to what we are to replace them with.

Maybe Photoshop CS3 has something along these lines...

Quite a few QuickTime video editing apps can crop, or used to. I used to survey them to see which ones could do what things, but there's very little point anymore as Apple own the Video and Audio editing market on the Mac. Competing with them is a fools game, which is why applications like BTV Pro etc. are toast and not being updated.
