Hello Steven, and all, I enjoyed playing around with the effect you outlined in 3DS Special Effects. Very informative. I am just beginning to scratch the surface regarding the use of paths, it seems. After customizing the .prj file I decided to render to disk, for later transfer to tape. I rendered backwards from 2756 to 0 by increments of -12, as suggested. I rendered as .TGA files. So now I have GLOB0008.TGA, GLOB0020.TGA, …. GLOB2756.TGA. I have tried all kinds of ways to have Video Post recognize this sequence of frames, but am having no luck. I must be missing something obvious. I have tried putting GLOB*.TGA in the queue, then experimenting with all manner of ranges in the rendering dialog box, ranges for Video Post, and such. For example, Video Post sees 227 frames, I believe. But I can't get it to render frame 226, or frame 2756 for that matter. I am stumped. I know I can render a flic, then go to tape, or just render to tape, but I want to save the TGA's. How can I get these to tape in "backwards" order? Is there an easy way to rename them 0000 to 0226? All my map-paths are OK, and the TGA's are fine. Paul S.
