Dear AA Studio user, I'm having a bad time outputting Animator Studio files to 256 color flic files without tripling the size of the file (compared to same file in ani pro) or getting severe color distortion. I would greatly appreciate any help with this problem. Thanks, Ed Jones

I would greatly appreciate any help with this problem. << howdy ed. what codec exactly are you using when you save? also, are you using alpha or sound? if color degredation happens, yeah, that's bound to happen when one goes from a frame by frame 24-bit image to an 8-bit image. remember there are three forms of compression available: data rate, keyframe and image. experiment a bit with these three forms of compression, see which one works best for the animations you're doing. let us know if anything improves (or if it doesn't). check online help for details on each. -dave

Hi Dave, Thanks I'll try your sugestions and let you know how it works. The file I was having a particular problem with had no alpha or sound. Thanks again Ed
