I MUST… I MUST… I MUST… Hey guys lighten up, I'm new to this video thing. Greg, you were right about the ship0000.ani not working (actually it recorded every third frame). I looked at the manuals for .ifl files and they seem the way to go to create a slideshow of still images. What the manual doesn't show is how to create an .ifl file of incremental targas without typing in each specific filename. I hope this isn't a stupid question, but I have no idea how to do this without typing every targa filename. Help please. Happy Editing/Holiday Greg and All Jeff

You should use the utility Makeifl. Somewhere it is in the manuals, it creates automatically an ifl with incremented frame numbers with different options Christophe

Hi Christophe, << Somewhere it is in the manuals >> I think it's in the README file. If you type makeifl in the 3ds root directory, it should also display a help screen. jonas[adesk]

>>I MUST, etc… Hey Jeff, you can also make an IFL in an instant with the DOS command: DIR my*.tga /on /b > myifl.ifl This, assuming you have a current version of DOS, will create a file with a sorted list of my0000.tga, my0001.tga, etc. You can edit the file if you only want a segment. Type DIR /? from DOS for switch help. JKJ

Jeff: Just use MAKEIFL.EXE and you will be fine! Happy Holidays! Greg Pyros
