Well, Robert, Your question was put to the greenest of the green. I'm an architect who has taken a wild hair to become a master of animation. So far, I've managed to make 2 short five section animaitons which parallel the tutorials in the manual of StratVision 3D, the volkswagen version of StudioPro. Also, this work was done on a PM 6100/16 megs of ram, so there is a little difference in speed as well. My curiosity about Quicktime stems from a desire to make the digital products of my work as universally portable and playable as possible. From what little reading I've done, the Quicktime format carries onto the Windows platform with little or no problem. Have you found this to be a fact or a wish of the future? Also, are products in the process of remmaining digital instead of going to video-tape? I presume the answer stems partly from the intended user, but gains in storage and compression technologies may be prominent factors as well. To answer your question, I don't know. I haven't imported anything and have not produced anything where there has been a substantial period of grinding done by the computer. But my guess is that it increases substantially when complex operations are designed and executed. I look forward to talking to you in the future, and hope to be more helpful as my experience accumulates. Jack McKean
