I'm aiming this at everyone just because it is very general. If you are trying to do reverse action, a program called Hollywood Effects will let you do just that. It is slow. About the same speed as the Flyer handles slow motion, but at least you can do it. Hollywood Effects has a post processing effect that just lets you take a video clip and process it. What you do is to select the clip and give the command to run it in reverse. What makes it so slow is that HFX pulls it into the Flyer via Toaster Paint, processes it through Lightwave and then saves it to the Flyer Drives via Toaster Paint. However, since Lightwave now creates an ANIM using RGB files, HFX is planning to upgrade their program to run to the Flyer Drives via Lightwave saving at least one step. If anyone has come up with a better way, please let me know. Fred
