Well, not a fix, but a workaround, I think. Now before I get into this, let it be known that I don't have 3.1, just 3.0, but I am 99% sure this will work for outputting field rendered frames to a PAR. You need ADPro (you all have that, right? Good…) and the Sentry utility that comes with it. Set it up as follows: Directory: Wherever IM31 will render its frames, for example, DH0:IM30\MyProj.imp\p.pix This is determined when you create a subproject, it's the "path for stills". Delete Processed files = yes Confirm before deleting = No These are buttons in the sentry screen. Include Pattern = pic.#? This should get sentry to ignore the interim files when field rendering. Now, Add a command (with the add button in sentry) Command type = CLI Command = copy Arguments = $SENTRYFULLPATH to DDR:Target or DDR: whatever your project is on the PAR. Note that $SENTRYFULLPATH should be in all caps. Don't forget to save your project. Accept it, and Sentry will wait for your frames to be rendered. I tested this with IM3.0, and it correctly ran, and I think it should work on 3.1 with field rendering. Jim Shields Regal Rodent Development
