David, This is concerning your PAR field order problem you reported on 2/21. I realize this is late and you probably have everything taken care of by now, but I ran into something similar a couple of days ago. I had loaded the new PAR.EXE 1.5 half-way thru a project and didn't notice it changed the field order for me, so I rendered some segments to the PAR in the wrong order. With a little expermentation, I found I could correct the field order for frames already on the PAR by – Changing the field order from 2 to 1 in the PAR Prefs dialog. – Exporting the ANI as TGAs to the HD – Changing the field order back to 2 in the PAR Prefs dialog. – Importing the TGAs as a new ANI This corrected the field order at the expense of some small loss of quality due to the second JPEG compression. For my case, the loss of quality was more desirable than re-rendering all the frames. Sorry to bother you if you already knew this. If you didn't, sorry I didn't find it sooner. Happy rendering! JKJ
