Is there a speed thatt you can always set ANI PRO to tto get 30 frames per sec? We are doing test renders for vidoe and want to be able to check it out at the right speed. Thanks, Mark Dickenson Creative Insights

Mark, There are very few computers that can actually play an FLC file at a "true" 30 frames per second. You might want to explore converting the Flc files into AVI files. AVI files when they play back always play at 30 frames per second, and if the computer can't keep up with that pace then it will just drop frames every so often so it maintains the speed. -Brian

The Product "Smacker" allows you to compress files at a true FPS so you can view them. Then you just compare that playback speed with various ani speeds. Jeff

You mention "smacker" to permit playback at true 30 fps. Any more info on it? Who sells it, how much, where do I get it? Thanks for any info you might have.

You might also take your 30 fps flics and scale them to 15 fps. This will give you a good idea of what to expect. Brent Bonet – POP! Multimedia Atlanta
