Hi Guys

I have a multilayered psd file (RGB 8 bit, 955 px x 600 px) and have created an animation (8 seconds) using the animation panel in timeline mode. File consists of 4 image layers and 3 text layers. When I choose File/export/render video, The quicktime options are grayed out and all I can do is render jpgs from the sequence.

Any ideas? I know that I have done this about a year ago without problems.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Mathias...I think.

Anyway, I figured out my problem and wanted to share in case anyone else runs into this.

I was working on a new laptop (purchased expressly for CS4). After pulling what little hair out that I have left this morning, I decided to try it on my desktop machine. Lo and Behold, Quicktime options were available.

Idiot that I am, I assumed (yeah I know) that Quicktime would have been pre-installed on the laptop. Welllllll no, I didn't have Quicktime installed at all.

Installed Quicktime and all is well.

Thanks for your help. If you need me, I'll be sitting in the corner wearing a dunce cap.
