I'm having a problem with Animator Studio and my #9 card (I think). I have so far contacted both #9 and Autodesk and have yet to get anyone to help me. In the manual (if I'm correct) it states that AS is a 24 bit paint program capable of editing 24 bit stills. When I try to import a BMP or JPEG or any other format, make changes in AS (ie airbrushing) and try to save as JPEG/BMP, etc. I get the following warning: "This file format cannot save all of the data in this movie. Consider saving this movie as an AVI file. The following data will not be saved: selection change. … OK or CANCEL" I choose OK and it saves the image to the original format, but when I open the picture to use it, it is blurred and cannot be used. I've also acknowledged and tried to save as AVI (even when I need a BMP or JPEG still) but it still blurs. The still images were generated in 3DS. Autodesk help line told me that they cannot duplicate this problem and they believe it has to do with my #9 card. They also said no one else is having this problem. #9 says to install the new drivers and that this is a bug in the software, not the #9 card. I installed the new drivers but it didn't help. Unfortunately I have AS and cannot use it at all. I'd appreciate any help you can provide. JB
