[teejayryan] "As far as XML goes - here is the thing to remeber. XML will not communicate in Final Touch - Speed Changes, Motion Effects, Still Frames, Opacity changes, and other complicated attributes. So you basically can only use XML for cross dissolves."
Yep, know all about that from my first lesson with Bob Sliga. We "bake" all the effects into self contained Quicktime clips and put those into the timelines. the only effects left in any timeline we send to FT are cross dissolves.
