The animation will be used in the courtroom, such as car accidents, structual failures in buildings and so on. This will require an animation controller and a frame accurate VTR. The only VTR's in my price range that I know about are the JVC BRS-811U or the Panasonic AG-7750, what do you think. I will be renerding to tape with no copies needing to be made and no editing, will I need the Panasonic with the TBC or will the JVC work just fine? Since the Targa+ has VGA pass-through will it replace my video card I now use? After I decide on the frame buffer I still have to pick the model 16, 16/32 or 64, and food for thought on this subject? Video is certainly not my forte, so, if any of my thoughts look like I'm going astray just say so, Please!!! At this point I'm only researching the possibility of going into business doing the forensic animation and I have limited experience with animation? This is why I'm asking so many questions. How useful would the Pro Animator be, special effects are usually NOT wanted in the courtroom? I know it could be used for creating material for mapping, but I think I can buy those kinds of things and probably will higher quality than I can create. Will Autodesk allow an individual to sell Animator to another individual? I ask this because I know soneone that world sell and until October 31 I could update to Pro Animator for $195, but I have to act fairly fast. If I can buy the animator would it be handled thru the Autodesk dealer or Autodesk? I'm sorry if I have rambled on so much that you can't do your job if you attempt to answer this messge!!! THANKS very much for your time!! Rick
