Andrew – If you're trying to pull both sets of sequential files off the PAR simultaneously, I'm sorry to have to tell you that it won't work. Tried before, and learned the hard way that this is a current limitation, since there is no "buffer" to hold several frames concurrently en route through video post from the PAR. You may have to do what I did – write the PAR files off to your hard disk, then have an ifl file pointing to those files. For specialized applications (such as using these files as a travelling matte) you may be able to get away with re-rendering the first or second animation directly to your hard drive as jpgs or as a fli file. Unlike Martin, though, I have been able to pull a single stream of sequential targas off the PAR without writing an ifl. Good luck! Bob
