interesting and sardonic page. I have to accomodate myself to the idea that once I render out 10,800 TIFF images out of Poser, the expectation seems to be that I have not even reached half-way yet, that I am facing another massive full render in order to make a movie. Now, if my Poser output is pretty clumsy and I am looking to massage the images themselves to save my life, I can understand it. Or...if I am adding FX, etc., I can understand it. But what if I just want to 'assemble?" I do it now with QuickTime Pro, which has a free partial-feature Sorensen Video compression, which I bet could be kicked up. Is this a path to "assembly" which can get me to the quality level I am looking for? ::::: Opera :::::
