Also, 3.0.4a (aka 3.0.4.1) is the latest version. You should be using that, as there may Re: Problem with importing .avi in particle illusion 3.0.2 by Ashley Harkrider on Sep 3, 2009 at 4:43:10 am in the particle Illusion Forum Well, maybe I'm answering some of my own questions messing around with the program.

Thomas Re: iMovie4 vs Particle Illusion. by Kurt Muller on Aug 20, 2009 at 1:47:39 am in the particle Illusion Forum Sorry, Alan, I guess I should have mentioned that! Oops! The reason I don't import the movie on my PC is that it doesn't have a video capture card. I use my eMac for movies. But it's pretty old now, and can't take any more upgrades.
