Hi Hairy

If you decided to make a script for movies please make it an option to render them in preview mode.

I never render my movies in Firefly it just takes too long.

It's much faster to render them a little larger then you are going to use them and then when they are reduced they look pretty good.

Sometimes I do 3 or 4 thousand frames in one clip, it I rendered them even at a low level of Firefly render they take forever.

I did a simple test, the basic robot figure rotating 1 revolution in 60 seconds.

In preview mode it took 20 seconds to make an .AVI.

In low level Firefly it took 2 minutes and 10 seconds.

And then you have to do it twice, imagine doing even 600 frames with several things to render in it.

I'm guessing that you could perhaps do two versions and simply change the line that specifies how it's rendered. But I don't know anything about how the scripting works.

Thanks again for the help, your script works great I'm going to seriously start making tests now and figure out just how I do this before I start doing movies.

I have a lot of thing I want to try out.

If you shoot a mime, do you need a silencer?
