Using Draft quality and low settings on virtually everything, the frames render at a decent speed (2 or 3 / second). Add rendering and this slows down to 1 frame / 5 seconds or 1/10 the speed. In an attempt to see what was taking all the time, I made a static frame with no changes over the entire length. To my suprise, it took just as long to render. I can't believe the program would re-render areas that don't change. I figure I must have a setting wrong some place. Any ideas?
