Hello:
I am in the process of producing a partially animated video that requires several animated Poser 7 compatible characters.  My question relates to a workflow issue regarding the rendering of Quicktime mov. files from these animations.  A rather complex static background image will accompany each of the characters and I wonder if I should be rendering the animated characters to .mov and then compositing them into the background image with appropriate software (i.e. Shake 4.1 or Boris Red) or importing the background into Poser 7 and rendering them together as an  .mov file.  I realize that either method will work but I am assuming that rendering the whole package in Poser will take up a lot of computer (Mac 3Ghz dual quad with 2gig Ram) time, since it will have to render the background with each frame ... is my assumption correct?
Thank you in advance,
Ron
