I would think that it wouldn't be a problem. When I've tested it on my DCTV output, I was also using 4 bitplane, not 3, so I could get the best quality from it. One test I did, I had the voyager do a flyby with the camera tracking it. As it passed the camera, the Earth would come into the scene occupying 70% of the screen. Everything was moving and I used alot of stars, to boot. Another earlier test I did, had a Cylon fighter fly-in towards a planet from lower-left of the camera, seemingly just out from under the left. The deltas were huge in all of the tests and worked really well. I changed the settings in the ViewTek icon to lock the speed at a default of 30fps instead of using the jiffies. This may have made a difference, but none that I could see (from just using the function keys to adjust speed). Ultimately, an A1200 or A4000 with 040 would be the best environment to use ANIM7 or ANIM8 with, for consistantly accurate FPS. -= Vance =-
