Sorenson Squeeze
Sorenson Squeeze is what I had been using on Windows to create the video clips on the site. The SQZ save files from the Windows version do not open properly on the Mac version and what you will have to do is drop the SQZ file on a text editor ( you will see an XML formatted project settings) and edit any paths pointing to a drive letter - so "D:moviesjapan.mp4" should be pointing to a volume instead.
What I do is to squeeze a file into FLV (FLash Video) format and read that file into a player which I created in Flash - have a look in the Video Clips section to see what I am babbling on about.
There is an annoying thing about Squeeze and that is not having the ability to fade out a soundtrack - it allows you to lay an mp3 soundtrack on top of a video but you cant fade out - why?!
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.
