I thought that there were options in this FCE dialog box to make adjustments beyond high, medium or low quality. But I just checked again and discovered that these deep options are not adjustable. When you select Sorenson 3 as your QuickTime export codec in FCE, there's a button labeled "Options." Clicking on it reveals a list of settings, but you can't change them. Never mind! <g> Maybe one of these days I'll be able to afford the paid version of Sorenson 3 or Cleaner. I'm trying to download the trial version of Cleaner, but that's not working either at the moment. Steve R.
