Bre, Thanks for the P90 rendering numbers. Your hood ornament "Godess" sounds interesting! Was the motion-blur the default (16-pass) or was it the 9-pass (-a3 switch in render24)? Also, were these DOS times or Windows times? When I tried the 16-pass, the individual frames didn't look great, but the 9-pass frames did look pretty cool. I tend to learn a product better when I have a project to work on, so I decided to recreate parts of the Tide/Arm-and-Hammer boxing commercial. In addition to what is in the commercial, I wanted to zoom in and do a "slow-mo" on the box being knocked out of the ring. Over a period of nine frames, the boxing glove/arm does a complete 360. Since there is so much movement from frame to frame, the blur was pretty strong. Then is premiere I slowed it down to 25%, the effect seems to work well for me. I may upload a flic of part the animation showing the slow-mo part, if I can get the file size down low enough. Thanks again for your help <G>, if your blur was the 9-pass, those times are good enough to justify a P90, for me. Jim
