>SWF isn't the easiest format to work with; it's not necessarily a video, but might be a scripted object. Try working with real video formats such as avi, mpg, or ogv. >You may wish to look into PiTiVi, an open source video editor; it's written in Python. I'm not sure if you can achieve what you want by simply driving PiTiVi externally, but at very least, it's worth a peek. >ChrisA Hi Chris, thank you for your response. I am format agnostic for processing so am happy to work with avi etc., however in displaying the final film to the user I think I'd need to convert whatever I've made to swf to make it a little less downloadable. I'll check out PiTiVi - perhaps I can hack it to work on the back of appengine... Cheers, J -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
