I'm playing around with DVideo, trying to learn its ins and outs. I'm stuck! Using DPaint, I've created extremely simple picture and objects to use in a very simple scene: 1. Background picture is a tree against a sky and grass 2. Objects are: a. Yellow sun to move across the sky b. The cloud from DPaint (fantasy scene) to move across the sky c. Grey bird (animated to fly) to move across the sky. (bird is of the very simple variety that looks like a small m — the kind children draw) Problem: Although I have used no more than eight colors total in both the picture and the objects, I'm having problem with the color palette changing. I have no problem with either the cloud or the sun because of the requester where I can select BEST or CURRENT palette. However, when I try to introduce the bird into the scene, I get no requester and the program just automatically assigns a pallete of colors and turns the bird, cloud, and sun black. Does anyone have any idea what I am doing w?
