I moved the Quicktime initialization call so that it runs when GEM is loaded. The changes are in CVS.

Maybe a better idea would be to include this in the help file of [pix_film] so that people know about it. Forgive me if it's in a doc somewhere already, but I never recalled seeing this piece of info anywhere.
But besides documenting it, I can't really see what purpose it serves to have that error if it could be changed otherwise. People know they need a window before they can see anything, anyway, and it's not like the error it throws says "make a gemwin first, dummy!" ;-)
I could see this having problems if you had either an installation or a performance patch which autoloaded clips, perhaps before the window was created simply because the order of operations wasn't specific enough.
Just my 2cents after a rather frustrating day ;-) best, d.

I could change this to allow loading before window creation, but the general idea is that you need a window to do anything so create that
first.

ROTFLMAO. At myself! No, I didn't. Thanks Chris, now I know neither me or my laptop is
crazy.
I should have thought of this after years of teaching people they
