thanks guys.
okay, the movie stuff works. i have good and bad news though. the bad news is there's no way i can record a movie with shadows, textures and everything else that normally makes SketchUp slower, becasue when it's recording it's impossible to manuever at all and sketchup automatically makes the textures shaded anyways. the good news is that it does work i just have to turn shadows off and use shaded textures. i will try to make a commercial for one of the companies right now. i hope this doesn't take long.
