Has anyone heard anything new about the next upgrade release of Imagine. I was also wondering if any one has come up with an easy way to motion blur starfields like the ones done for Star Wars when the the camera pans around quickly. I know I can do it with Photoshop, but that means doing each individual frame one at a time. William Rockhold

>> Has anyone heard anything new about the next upgrade release of Imagine. William, Imagine 3.2 is undergoing the last legs of beta testing over the weekend. As to actual shipment, I don't know. >> …motion blur starfields…I know I can do it with Photoshop, but that means doing each individual frame one at a time. << Can't do it directly in Imagine. Best bet is to do it in Photoshop. To make life easier render the scene with only the starfield in place. Blur the images, do it batch if Photoshop can do batch processing. Then use the new images as backdrops to render the final scene in imagine. OR, after you create each frame, compile them into an FLC anim and use THAT as a backdrop (this feature is available in 3.1 for others who are reading this). -GreG
