Andrew, I use Carrara all the time to produce professional television elements and the 30fps rather than 29.97fps is not a huge limitation. As Azchip stated, you can use After Effects to correct it if needs be. Another thing you might want to consider trying is field-rendering which is basically making two images per frame. Animations being produced for television looks much smoother if they are field rendered, however it also depends on the effect you are trying to achiev e. A quick and easy way to do this is render it in After Effects with field rendering enabled in the render module. You have to experiment to find out which field your editing system draws first (upper or lower) and set it accordingly in After Effects. Another way is to render in Carrara at 60fps but as this would increase the render time dramatically I wouldnt recommend it. Email me if you have any questions or if I've confused you. -Robert Lech
