I actually just tried your kaleidoscope tutorial and loved it also.  I think it had a hand in my growing addiction to animation.  If I have any questions, you'll be the first one I ask!  Thanks again for sharing your creativity!

Cool!  Well, make sure you show me your results.  I haven't gotten much feedback on the kaleidoscope tutorial (or this one for that matter), so it's always neat to see people getting results.
I'd rate you as an upper-middle-lower-mod with pro-novice-inter tendencies.....and a twist of lime!  Of course, my rating scale is completely objectively subjective, but ALWAYS consistently inconsistent.

I have an hour or so long movie file in MPEG-4 Movie QT Format, and i was wondering if that format works because everytime i try to 'index' it.  It freezes, and the plug-in crashes.  Does this function work corectly still?

It's been awhile since I've used these steps, but an hour long movie is probably killing the process, not GIMP.  Think about what's going on......how many individual images are there in an hour long video, then trying to convert ALL of those images to a palette of 256 colors.  I'd pass out too if you asked me to do that!  :o  My suggestion is that you pick a range of frames you want to work with as described in Step 2C and then try it out on a limited number first and then go from there.

Then, if that doesn't work, we'll look into the matter further.

Who in their right mind tries to convert an hour worth. Do you even have permission/rights to the footage?

There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

...first of all it's my own footage, and i didn't try to convert all of it, just a minute, I'll work some more with it later.

My apologies, but nowhere did you say you were trying to convert only a minute of it.  I connected hour-long and it together.  Sorry.

I had the same impression. I asked if you had permission because sometimes people forget that part. No need to get upset. :D

I wasn't upset just clarifying, oh and to be exact with 30 FPS you would have 1,800 frames, which i can see why it'd freeze then too, didn't think about it o.o
