Hi Asha, I've been looking at DP5 and haven't purchased it because it looked to me that you need Magic Lantern to output 8-24 bit animations. You said it gives the option to use your Picasso for output? Don't suppose it offered and Opalvision output? When I finally got to talk to someone who supposedly knew anything slightly technical about the programs capabilities, they told me it only held the 24 bit data in memory and used Amiga modes. I would like to retarget the display or animation to my Opalvision card. I know Magic Lantern will do this and very well from what I understand. Perhaps these vendors should bundle the two for package deal or something. Opalanimate is OK but it would have been nice if it created an anim format that could be read by other software. I haven't even been able to find out what anim format Opalanimate is using. I sure isn't in the documentation. Rick
