Gregory, The Yost band have gone to Chicago so I'll have a stab at your question. By going into the keyframer and selecting Preview/Set Speed and entering 30 frames per second and YES (to attempt to maintain that speed), then selecting View Flic, your animation will play back at a constant 30fps. Providing, that is, that your system is capable of playing back animations at that speed – it probably isn't since you will be playing back from the disk drive. If you have animator pro you can play back at 30fps (better possibility since should be playing out of memory) by entering the following POCO program courtesy James Hyde: main() { int frame_count; frame_count= GetFrameCount(); SetSpeed(31); PlayFlic(frame_count); } "Theoretically the variable passed to to set speed should be 33.3333… but I assume there's some POCO overhead involved, I empiricaly found 31 to be close enough." Why not just lay to tape frame-by-frame and then do your music in post-production since this is the only really convenient way to assure a constant 30fps playback rate. Martin
