Quote - Another benefit to image-sequence, which I've rarely seen mentioned, is that you can preview the results while the animation is still being rendered.

I'm currently in the midst of rendering a 90-second clip, but can load the finished frames into VDub to see how it's turning out.  If I found visible flaws at any point in the sequence, I could cancel the render process, make the necessary corrections to the scene, and then resume rendering from that point, instead of discovering them after the entire animation was done.

Hiya LD...

That's exactly what I do.  Just today I aborted and then restarted a 512-frame clip when I loaded a partial set of frames into VDub and noticed my light ball prop moved due to some accidental keyframes.  Will save me hours of render time.

I've often gotten the sense lately that some of my favorite techniques (most of which have come from listening to you and other Poser superstars over the years) are rarely discussed here these days.
