Mike, one other find (bug?) with 3.1 in field rendering mode on the Amiga. Lets say you are moving a logo around the screen and you want to have the first and last frames on screen for a couple of seconds before you start to play and stop recording the animation. I feel the first and last frames should be rendered in frame mode so the image is not flickering back and forth on the screen. Currently I rerender the first and last frames in frame mode and then append them to the amination. Can't this be done in software? Until the Amiga version 3.1 field mode to PAR problem is corrected I am rendering to a directory on my hard drive and then importing the frames with the PAR software. Another bug I found is that the last frame renders in Impulse-24 bit format, not IFF, the rest are in ILBM format. I double checked my setup and indeed I had ILBM-24bit selected. I even tried it a couple of times with the same results. I end up reading the last frame with ADPro (which reported it to be in Impulse format) and saved it in ILBM format. Jim R.
