After reading a past log of a Bryce chat,I gatherd from the "Heavy Hitters" that the best way to render animations in Bryce is to save as bmp.sequence, and render to disk, what would be a reasonably inexpensive(and not too complicated) editor for coverting those files to another fomat such as quick time or Avi? I realize I can save the animation to thease formats directly from Bryce,But I would like to have more post prodution control and the ability to add sound and other clips. Any suggestions?

Hi Hawkfyr, Yes saving as individual frames does have certain advantages but it all depends what you want to do. If your movie is going to be quite a long production you will need a large hard drive. And possibly a fast one at that to pull all the individual frames out in real time. If it is just for more post production control and adding sound then you can do that with AVI's and QT files just the same as with individual frames. The most popular software for doing this in the medium price range is Adobe Premier and then maybe Ulead Media Studio. As far as inexpensive goes the one that springs to mind is 'Desktop Video Producer 5' from Asymetrix. I have never used this software and I can't tell you how good it is but I think it is at least a third the price of Premier. Remember though you get what you pay for. It all depends on what you want to do. Hope this helps, Colm...

Thanx colm. It does help, I have an 8.4 gig WD drive. and a 3.2 alternate (backup/storage) drive .The 8.4 is pretty fast. The way I've been adding sound is importing avi into Poser the importing sound and re rendering it together . Primitive but still worked. I'll check out the software you've suggested, and hopefully find somthing I like Thaxzagain Hawkfyr
