Hey, folks. Thanks again for all the replies. Yep, I've come to the same conclusion -- field rendering is a bit ugly in RDS.... However, I still haven't solved my problem.... I'm still working on it. I'll give the uncompressed sequenced images a try; haven't figured how to get them into the composition in AE as one movie, though, without dragging each one on individually (kind of tedious with a ten second animation). Any suggestions?
