LOS ANGELES — The smaller of two actors unions in contract talks with Hollywood producers says a deal may not be quick or easy.

The American Federation of Television and Radio Artists said in an e-mail to its members Monday that challenging issues remain. It also says it has delivered a strong message to producers on the issue of Internet clips.

Both the federation and the larger Screen Actors Guild have said they want to protect actors' right to consent to use of their work in video clips online.

The producers say getting consent from every actor for online clips is cumbersome and has offered to pay a fixed fee for their use.
