I am having a couple of issues lately.

1) PNGs are not acting the same way they used to. I can't get the empty = spaces to read as alpha holes in FCP. Is there a better format to use = since PICT files are no longer an option.

2) Sometimes the program simply will not let me Save a file. The Save = window pops up, but the buttons are not colored and won't react. In = fact, at that point the program is completely locked up and I have to = Force Quit.

Has anyone else seen these problems?

Thanks in advance.
