Jason, I've got ER for Windows and it's just an outstanding program. Nothing in the PC arena comes close. Two questions though. First, have I missed something or does it not do field rendering? Right now, to make my animations just a little smoother, I bring the sequential Targa files generated in ER into 3D Studio Video Post and then render with field rendering on. Second, as you say, <Drag the duplicated shape along the path and motions you wish the original object to follow, and turn ER loose.>. While true, and quite powerful, just try to create any sort of smoothly curved path; a circle, figure 8, etc. Difficult to impossible. There should be a way to create or import and then edit bezier curves for paths. This would make it a truely potent animation tool. Not that I'm knocking the product. It is amazingly good (and fast). Aside from its morphing/warping abilities, it's the best digital video editor/generator in the PC market (I may have to rephrase that once I see Premiere 4.0, but it's certainly true right now). My two cents worth, Andrerw
