Nick, I recently purchased Visual Reality 1.1 and several other multimedia authoring tools. I'm having great problems producing AVI files from Renderize Live animations. One example is this…I am trying to produce an animation simulating zooming in on a planet (straight line). The resulting AVI file has 'garbage' over the upper 3/4 of the animation with only the bottom 1/4 being the actual 'expected' animation. Animations (AVI's) produced with Adobe Premiere 4.0 and PhotoMorph 2 come out perfectly, as well as AVI's produced with REELtime (video capture). The software is being run on a Pentium 90, 40 Megs RAM, 2.4 Gig Hard Drive, #9 PCI Video with 4 Megs Ram. Any idea what's going on?

Dear Steve: What is the resolution and color depth of the animation you are outputting? It is possible that you are experiencing a bug. Our next version of Visual Reality, version 1.5 solves this problem. VR1.5 will ship on or around February 7. If you need a solution before then, contact me directly at (310) 798-8569 and I'll help you work something out. Note that this bug only occurs on earlier versions of Visual Reality. It is not found in Simply 3D. Nick Josephs Visual Software

<<<<Our next version of Visual Reality, version 1.5 solves this problem. VR1.5 will ship on or around February 7.>>>> Will there be a cutoff date for any type of no-charge upgrade. If not, what is the charge for the upgrade from 1.1 to 1.5? <<<<What is the resolution and color depth of the animation you are outputting?>>>> I'm at work right now and I don't remember exactly the resolution and color depth. I'd like to say it was 640 x 480 and 24 bit color. Thanks, Steve Earl Applications Programmer InteSys Technologies, Inc.

Visual Reality 1.5 will be available as an automatic free upgrade to all _registered_ users of Visual Reality 1.x. Based on what you've told me, 1.5 will definitely solve your problem. Nick Josephs Visual Software
