HI, Just getting my par working, all seems ok but… One machine in my farm created some bad frames, that need to be re-rendered. Is there any method for inserting a frame into an animation? or do I need to spool all the tgas in order onto the par again? Last question: the docs don't mention an aspect ratio only 752×480. I've defaulted to 1.00…should this be different? Thanks in advance Todd

Is there any method for inserting a frame into an animation? or do I need to spool all the tgas in order onto the par again? You can import the targa's that were bad, assuming they are in order to a new ani file and use the split function and join to put them back together. I find it easier usually to just re-import them if it is not too many files. < Last question: < the docs don't mention an aspect ratio only 752×480. < I've defaulted to 1.00…should this be different? .83 aspect ratio I have also found that a block factor of 240 works the best with a Q=23. Good Luck Steve

Todd, >> Is there any method for inserting a frame into an animation? << Yes, just SPLIT your animation before the edit point, then JOIN the first part, the new frame(s), and the second part. You'll get a temp.ani file which you then rename to whatever you want. >> the docs don't mention an aspect ratio only 752×480. I've defaulted to 1.00…should this be different? << Yes, it should be 752 x 480 x 0.85. Have fun with your PAR! Paul S.

Thanks…the par is a lot of fun…but it really makes you rethink you timing when it comes out so smooth. Thanks again Todd
