The description of animate once, render four streams automatically from four cameras, edit as needed -- is quite exciting, but not necessary or practical for my project. I'll have all I can do to afford my time-budget on an initial one-choice render. But I remain in mode 'no worries' and perfectly happy. Basically I am making my editing decisions out front, then creating one pz3 for each take. Some are quite short, 25, 90, 150 frames, etc. Some are long, 2000 frames, perhaps more. Well.....perfectly happy except for that damn 999 display for current frame! ::::: Opera :::::
