Hi Natalie,

> Description of problem: Creating movie
> java.lang.NullPointerException
> 
> I select View -> Capture -> movie -> Full window, timestep -> the save window 
> pops up when all the timesteps
> are recorded. I save the file as a .gif or .mov then I press close and I get 
> the above message.
> 
> When I view the .gif file only the first 20 of 55 step through correctly, 
> then the movie goes back to the initial
> time and starts going through the first 20 timesteps again.
> 
> The only thing that seems to work is when I close and reopen the IDV, then 
> load all the data and use the field selector
> again. Opening .xidv bundles results in the same error message at above.

Before we go chasing a possibly fixed problem why don't you try running with 
the most recent release (2.7).  If this still is causing a problem please send 
us a message.

Thanks,

-Jeff
