Greg, there's a few techniques in creating smooth playing animations on computers and they mostly pertain to how well an animation compresses. What you're actually doing is minimizing the number of pixels which change from frame to frame. Try to do them on a plain coloured background (1 colour value like black) Rotate objects rather than rotate the camera. Lock off camera movement entirely or keep it slow enough to avoid strobing and tearing. Consider using cuts rather than a dynamic flying camera in long scenes. That should help. Martin
