tebop, The number you see next to the frame rate is NOT the length of the animation. It is just the length controlled by the scrub bar (that long line at the top of your image here). Animation length is controlled (as you surmised) by the yellow bar in the timeline. The easiest way to change this (without having to drag it) is to go to the render room and look under the Output tab. The file format header has the length to be rendered. Simply put the length in the supplied boxes (in minutes:seconds:frames format) and it will adjust the marker in the timeline. If you are rendering at 24fps and your animation is 29 and 1/2 seconds you would enter 00:29:12 as 12 is a half second at that frame rate. Simple? Maybe not, but that should explain it. Let me know if it's the same on a Mac as I use a PC. Ken
From what I've been told by Antoine the Mac/PC versions are the same. I agree with cckens observations though. I also think familiarity and time spent within the interface plays against the "sluggishness". I've done a number of shorts for demo CDs with Carrara 3 and felt pretty darn comfortable with it. Could possibly boil down to personal perspective. One man's Porche is another's Ford...if ya know what I mean. Kat
