Hi All

Can someone please help? When I try to export from Anime, the Sorenson 3 option has disappeared. Can anyone tell me how I can get this back?

Re-install the codec. This is a systems issue, not an AS one.

Ok, if anyone is interested in the definitive solution, it is as follows:

When Quicktime asks you to update it will remove Sorenson and cinepak codecs, as it considers them "legacy codecs".

In the Quicktime preferences (in the System Preferences Control panel) Advanced tab you have to check "show legacy encoders". Cinepak, and a few others will reappear. Fortunately, this brings Sorenson back to anime too. Hurray.

Apple considers the H.264 to be the better codec and that is why Sorenson is not shown as part of the updates.

Good to know, as I've seen this question asked before and it will be nice to have a solution handy. Good job.

Hey, thanks for that, mandle64. All this time I thought we had lost Sorenson 3 forever.
