I've been spending time developing my skills with poser's animation cability. I have chosen to do all my work by generating tif files for import into Paint Shop Pro 5 which has a great gif animator included. I use this instead of AVI because it seems to have so much more control over quality. GIF also allows the ability to define varying times for each frame which helps with certain effects. The GIF format supports good compression. Am I missing something by using GIF? Does it depend on the length and use of the animation? eg use on the web... tmech
