Gayle: >> Wouldn't it be handy if one could simultaneously save renderings as flics >> and single frames. Or is there a way to do this? Here's a way: Write a batch file and run it from within Video Post to see if your last frame minus 1 is done. "IF EXIST TEST0299.TGA" If it doesn't exist, do nothing, and the machine will continue rendering. If it does, have your batch file run DTA.EXE (Dave's Targa Animator) available in the libraries here to compile the targas into a flic. Next morning, you have both to review. Voila! (I haven't tried it, but it's a great theory! Let me know if it works! <g>) Greg Pyros PS – The reason you need to subtract 1 is that the batch file runs before the targa file is saved. If you check for the last targa, you'll never get to it!
