I am on cs5 on mac, and i just tested and custom is set to = the work area, clicking it, has it stick to that range of frames. The = only way i can get it to start at 0 and range thru to the end is if i = add it to the que when the work area is set to the whole comp. Maybe you changed a pref for something else and it effected that? Not = sure.

I'm still using CS 5, and when you select 'custom' it = defaults to in and out points of 0 and the comp length respectively. >=20 > Has this been fixed with CS 5.5? If not, then it's something I will = request again. I know that CS 5 was a major upgrade, but it's little = changes like that that can really impact on your daily workflow. --=20 Helium14 | www.helium14.com Design | Motion + Graphic www.helium14.com 'the next best thing to knowing something, is knowing where to find it'
