Or I'm just missing something really obvious and am going to feel dumb.
Got a copy of FCE 4.0.1 around? Try this:
- select Timeline
- File > Export > Using Quicktime Conversion...
- under Format, select Quicktime Movie (if it's not already selected) and then options
- click to change Size (or something)
- click on another program, say Chrome for example.
- click back into FCE, set the size, click Ok.
- you're fucked.
Now you cannot get to the movie settings dialog, you cannot save, you cannot cancel, you have to force quit. How does one report bugs to Apple, anyhow?
