I just had a problem running ANIM's that are 736X482, 8 colors. The anims
were BLOADed. A 704X480, 16 colors anim plays back fine. Any thoughts?
Have you any patches yet for cycling non-contiguous colors?
Anything new about synchonizing with SMPTE/MIDI code?
Is a new version around the corner with new Amiga's being introduced?
Thanks for your answers?

Could you be more specific? I know I've played ANIMs that size. How much
chip RAM does your system have? Fast RAM? What happened? What version of
the Projector are you using?

Not yet. It may not be available until Director version 3.

I've been using a JLCooper PPS-1 with a tweaked MIDI module providing some
level of MIDI timecode support. Not really ready to use yet. I figure The
Director will need timecode interrupt handling to make it useful, which is
a Director version 3 enhancment.

All of these things are being worked on, unfortunately I don't have a good
estimate of the schedule as of yet. AmigaDOS has serious complications
with regards to backwards compatibility. I'm trying to avoid having two
versions, a 3.0 version and a pre-3.0 version, etc.
Unfortunately, 3.0 adds a lot of new features I want to take advantage of.
If C= decides to release 3.0 on existing hardware it would make things a
hell of a lot simpler.
