Looking for fellow Personal Animation Recorder (PAR) users. I just got mine and have some questions about rendering resolution. 752 x 480 is what the PAR wants as far as I can tell, I know a 512 x 486 doesn't fill the screen, but at a 752 x 480 the safe screen box in 3DS is long and very narrow. I guess that is OK for animations I am starting new, but to render old animations again, won't that screw up my camera views? This may be user error (ignorance) but hey, what fun would a learning curve be if you didn't get to ask at least a few dumb questions. Thanks all, Paul Kakert

Hi Paul, I saw you selling all your equipment and thought you were bailing out, glad to see that's not the case. 🙂 What aspect ratio are you using? I use .857 Also if you don't use NULL the safe frame looks odd with VIBRANT selected. Having said that, yes it is possible that your camera view will have to be adjusted for animations which don't have a lot of "safe" area on tight shots. FWIW I don't think that's a dumb question but actually a good point to raise. -JE
