I have a problem. Thusfar looking at provided tutorials I've found no solution.
I'm working on yet another project that requires me to use video clips of 10-15
minute durations. My intent is to place the clips onto props such as animated falling
or rising screens (Motion Montage) and have animations at certain spots appear below
the screens. My problem is iClone apparently won't play my entire clips. How may i circumvent
this situation?

If I understand your question correctly, this will be a multi-staged solution...
Now, I could be wrong, but the maximum amount of video time that I think iClone can render up to (at least right now) is 5 minutes. So, it would be so that a full 15 minute clip is not going to fit into a 5 minute maximum output.
What you might consider doing is breaking your 15 minute clips up into smaller portions (perhaps 2 minutes at the max per cut) using an external video editor (Magix Movie Edit Pro, or Pinnacle, or whatever your preference is), and then inserting the appropriate videos into the appropriate clips. Then, after you have your inserted videos in place, it would be a matter of rendering each shot, and then reassembling the renders again in an external video editor.
Again, this is assuming I understand the gist of your question. :)

Martok2112, you understand perfectly what I'm trying to do. Thank you for offering the needed advice.
Your advice, I was already considering that but my real problem right now is that I'm not getting even 5 minutes from iClone. If I did, I could accept that as a viable solution for the project. I think the timeline (2000 frames) isn't giving me minutes. I even tried putting in various numeral values in the frame box--no go. Inserting various times into the time box only to see it revert back to the usual limited time. I need to know how to extend the default time to the 5 minute max you mention.

Hi Jason, Click on the Timeline settings button and then enter 18000 in the frames window. This will give you the max setting in iClone.

THANKS. I figured that out via trial and error this morning. BUT it's wonderful knowing so many folks in this forum are so willing to hold out a helping hand.
