Is there a way to open an mpeg animation in image ready and save it as all the seperate frames without doing it one by one? or maybe a freeware program that will do this?thanks.

Not sure,
IR can open "AVI", and "MOV"s but seems to crap-out on opening "MPG" (at least for me!) The Open Movie dialog box shows the mpg fine with the controller. I can move up and down the film, but as soon as i OK the import i just get the first frame...
Maybe you'll want to try to convert first.

With AVI and MOV, you can either select from beginning to end or select a range by holding shift and using slider then click ok but I am not sure about MPG. I don't have a single MPG on this PC.

Depending on what movie-playing programs you have available, there is usually an option to save out as PICS. That is, it saves individual frames into a folder in PICT format. Following that, the major hassle is processing the images...all of them. If for no other reason than the fact that hardly anyone uses PICT images anymore. The easiest solution (though it's not incredibly easy to learn, unfortunately) is to make use of Photoshop or ImageReady''s Automate features. If anyone's interested, My tutorials are going to be going online in about a week or so, and the Automation features will be among them.

Loves the Batch and Create Droplet features in Automate. Also, the Create Droplet in Image Ready. Not sure how i'd manage without them .... Real time savers.
