I have just started working with Animator Studio, but I cannot preview either the work area or the movie from within the application. Whenever I hit the "play" button, or use the keyboard shortcuts, all that happens it it says 'playing' for about a half a second, then it just goes to frame one. The AVI files will play fine from the Windows media player or the external Autodesk animation player. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance Dave Rennker

" Whenever I hit the "play" button, or use the keyboard shortcuts, all that happens it it says 'playing' for about a half a second, then it just goes to frame one" Ahah! This is something I can duplicate when my resources are low. For instance, this is the effect I get when I load about 5 AVI files in AAStudio – the 5th won't play. When I looked at the Program Manager's Help/About Program Manager dialog box, it said I had about 45% Resources. In my case when I went below 45 it would fail, and above it would play. If this is what's happening (free up more resources on your machine to try this) let me know. It's written up as a bug.
