Kupa: Thanks for the info. It's no longer bad news, thanks to Little Dragon's info. Renedering out to Quicktime has become a mute point really. (It's all about the Alpha). Still bummed about 3d acceleration, but how about mouse wheel support this time around? LittleD: Thanks for the mini-tutorial. I'm sure it will be a cinch. I'd rather work with AVI's than QT anyway. The only reason I wanted QT was the alpha channel. -Tim
