Event-triggered snapshot-logging to quicktime movies

[Mark Schonewille]

Dear Kresten,

Making snapshots is really easy with Rev. Check out the "export  
snapshot" command in the docs. Note that you can export snapshots  
directly to a file. You probably will want to save the snapshots to  
files using the seconds as filenames.

To convert the snapshots to a QT movie, use Trevor's EnhancedQT  
External. Drop me a line off-list and I'll send you a demo stack  
(originally from Trevor, adjusted by several people).

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille
