Hi, Just purchased "Smacker", a really great compression program. I was wondering if its' output (*.SMK) will be supported in future versions of Animator Studio or if there is some way to plug it into the current version? Sure would be great!

Joel: Animator Studio support is iffy, but we will support 3D Maxx. Thanks, ->Jeff

Jeff, Didn't expect to hear from the man himself <g>! I am honored. Spoke with Mike at Rad this morning and he said something about possible MCI support. I think if your program could be plugged into Premiere and/or AAS it would be of great benefit to many! Played with it for a whole day and I am very impressed with its' power. It is really great and well worth the cost. What more can I say? Just add my hopes and dreams to your Wish List. Thanks, Joel – JOEL, Written 26-Sep-1995 @ 19:57:24 Using: Windows NavCIS PRO 1.62

Joel: Yeah, we'll have MCI for the VBers and Director folks. The best way for us to hook into Animator Studio would be to do a VFW codec, but that robs us of the all the cool things about Smacker – multiplatform, speed, color remapping, etc. Thanks, ->Jeff

Sure would be great! << Joel, you're absolutely right… smacker is a fantastic product (has been for some time) and many of the folks at Autodesk agree that this product is worthy of recommending (including product managers). however, we cannot comment on the future of Autodesk products. suffice it to say, i'd be happy to pass your recommendation on to the appropriate folks, and a great suggestion! -dave
