Timoteo1, are you using a Mac or PC? I don't have any experience with importing Poser animated figures, but I can speak to some of the rest of this. Some of your "Vue deficiences" seem likely to be attributable to your operating system, rather than to Vue, and some have to do with the CODEC's (compression algorithm) Vue uses, and then the choice of Codecs you are using in the playback program. For example, if you render a picture in Vue 4 with the basic Microsoft AVI CODEC chosen (and something other than Win2000 or WinXP), the animation does "flicker." This is due to the compression scheme limitation in the basic Microsoft AVI. Generally, Vue Pro offers quite a wide choice of Codec's compared to Vue 4. The proprietary Microsoft MPG4 if quite well supported in all three flavors, and makes an extremely clear AVI that is teeny. However, while it works well played back in Microsoft's Media Players, it is proprietary, and cannot be edited in older copies of Adobe Premiere, for example. But this is Microsoft's problem. Not E-On Software's problem. Similarly, Rendercow, at least in my copy of Vue 4 and Vue Pro works well, and does not result in inverted pics, as you seem to experience. Vue Pro does a very good job of rendering to individual .tga frames. All of these in a 500 frame animation that I tried came out perfectly, and they did produce an excellent animation when I put them together in Adobe Premiere. My copies of Vue have always allowed me to play CD's in the background, at least in the various NT and Win2000 operating systems that I've used. But note that both these OS's are true multi-tasking OS's. Win 98, Win 95, ME and XP Home are not true multi-tasking systems. They are easily overloaded by many apps, not just Vue. I wouldn't attribute a multi-tasking problem to VUE. Vue's Rendering Engine is extemely powerful and efficient, and does want all of your CPU if it can get it. However, it is also pretty "stable" - it will initiate a thread-sharing process if you create another app process, but will take several moments to begin to set up a thread sharing system if you create another app process. But, my copies of MAX and Truespace are also like this. So, I think most modern 3D modelling programs have this is common, and Vue is better than some at having protective thread sharing schemes. Adobe's After Effects and Poser are not in this class of 3d modelling programs.
