          <br/>The first one is not visible for users; it allows to record the work done (notes, sequences, rough-cut) in a file. It also permits to launch programs necessary to import an audio or video file. These programs encode video in order that it can be visible in the interface and that it can produce the shot by shot and the sound wave.

            To know if your computer is “Intel” or “Power PC”, you have to go in the Apple menu up left on the screen. In the menu, click on “About this Mac”. The line « Processor » indicates the type of configuration « Intel » or « Power PC ».<br/>

            After many tests, it seems that <i>Lignes de temps</i> just settles on the computers with the operating system 10.5 called “leopard”, the 10.4 one called “tiger”, the Intel processor, or with the Power PC processor.</li>

            Even if the file extension is correct, some characters block the import.  Thus, you should prefer naming your file without the following characters : accented characters, space, ç, #, &amp;, %, !, *, (), [], |, {}, :, ;, @.</li>
