>> It seems to have a lot of bugs at this point. << some are bugs, some are conflicts with other programs and settings. it's a 1.0 product too, remember. gads, anyone remember the nightmare of DOS 4.0, Coredraw 4.0? Wordperfect 6.0? etc. >> I've had it crash several times and nobody (Autodesk customer support) seems to know why. It's also VERY slow if you're trying to work with full screen animations – as you may be used to doing with AnimatorPro. << we're in windows. 16-bit EOS. Pharlap kicks serious pixel butt. what can i say? have you tried working with uncompressed formats as a session tactic? things load and save much faster. >> Seems like it was designed with Windows .AVI in mind – 320×240 size, but chokes on 640×480 (I have a P75 with 48 MB RAM). << quadrupled data… figures it would handle it about…. 25% as fast. <g> >> On the positive side, there are a lot of great controls and features. I haven't worked with is long enough (too many crashes, freezes) to try everything out. << keep at it. a lot more in there than most folks realize. -dave
