- I've had absolutely no problems getting images from a Spigot (grabbed with
- ScreenPlay) into Premiere (both 1.0 and 2.0) and Canvas 3.0.

- Re the QuickTime logo--would that be the image you get when you try looking

- Are you saying you have one of these still images in a window, and it shows
- up in 256-colour mode, but disappears when you switch to "millions" of colours?
-
- All the PICT files that ScreenPlay creates always contain "millions" of colours,
- regardless of your screen mode at the time you grab the images.
