I really don't mean to be an ungrateful wretch, especially with the really first class job you all have done on the ADPRO 2 update that I received yesterday, but I am about to pull every hair out of my head in frustration trying to make FRED work. My problem is identical to Chris Camilleri 76317,1771 who has posted a note of a similiar problem here. I know I am following the manual to the letter! To redescribe the problem: After creating the two sequences and setting up the compositor to create result.seq, the program works for a while, showing its cute little thermometer, and then finishes. Yet, when I try to open up result.seq, there are no frames. A look at my directories through the cli shows that result.seq is present but "empty". There is, however, a huge file labeled XXX which has been newly created, but incomprehensible, sitting in my "adpro:" directory (which is my work: directory on my machine). I even tried to rename the file "XXX" as "result.seq" to see if I could load it into FRED…..no such luck. FRED seems like that it will be a FANTASTIC utility, if only it would work. My machine is nothing unsual: Amiga 3000, 10 megs of RAM, (8 FAST, 2 CHIP), using the final update of the 2.0 operating system. There are no special cards installed. There have been no problems running any other software. My problem sounds identical to the Chris' complaint. What is happening here?
