Glevine,

It sounds like your rendering with an inappropriate
template, probably either AVI uncompressed or DV. You'll
need to change the format or properties. Do this one of two
ways:

1. Click the "FILE" menu.
2. Click "PROPERTIES".
3. On the "VIDEO" tab, click the pull-down "TEMPLATE" menu.
4. Choose something other than a DV template (try Video CD,
for kicks).
5. Hit "OK".
6. Render your movie, and see if it's under time.

Or do it this way...

1. Click the "FILE" menu.
2. Click "RENDER AS".
3. When the dialogue comes up, change the file format (SAVE
AS TYPE) to something beside AVI. Try MOV, or RM, or MPG.
These are compressed formats that take up less space.
Fiddle around with different templates and see which one
floats your boat best.

That'll do it. Just remember to use some kind of compressed
codec to avoid disk space problems.

Best wishes,
Nick LaMartina
