I am looking for software that will allow me to cut and paste frames created by 3D Studio. I would like to be able to move video sections around to create complete videos. I would then like to have the software renumber all the frames so that they can be outputted to the VTR. I would also like some Keystone beer. Well, maybe that is asking for just a bit too much. I am willing to buy an Apple Power PC if they have they are the only ones that have such a beast. Any help would sure be appreciated. I am tired have having to juggle frames and keeping everything straight in my head.

Robert, << I am tired have having to juggle frames and keeping everything straight in my head. >> For these situations, do you use IFL's (image file lists)? Once an IFL is completed and correct, a small program could be written to read the IFL and rename files.. Maybe you'll get a volunteer from the forum to write this for you? 🙂

Videomedia can provide a flexible solution for single frame editing animations to video tape and also editing the animations tape to tape. V-LAN interfaces are used to link the computer with the video tape decks. V-LAN controls professional decks for single frame editing, and less expensive prosumer decks can be used for the source. Autodesk supports the V-LAN driver from within 3D Studio. The same hardware can be used with OZ. OZ is a Windows or Macintosh software program that provides professional video editing features. Using the DPS PAR as a source is another solution. OZ can GPI trigger the PAR to frame accurately record an animation. You can select where on the record tape you want it, OZ will keep an edit decision list so if you need to make changes to the animation later, a record is saved of the in and out points. If you would like more information, let me know. I can be reached at (408)227-9977 if you want literature on OZ.
