Hi Neil, then give virtualdub a try.

I dont need it all really except it has been recommended that I work this way. However, I think I might need it for very long takes if I see that one or two frames are faulty for example. In that case I would like to be able to repair just those frames without re-rendering the whole take. But since I shoot in short takes there doesnt seem to be much need to even have that ability. I have seen only one small set of problem frames in the 7 short films I've done so far. And it would be only a few hours to correct that. Maybe double that if it affected both eye views of a stereo project ... but easy enough. I dont have an expert Comping App - I use Magix. So far as I can see it can only load vids or ... stills as stills (not animation streams). I restrict effects to what RS can do and while there is a Blue Screen ability in the app, I have not needed to use it at all so far. Maybe I just forget the idea and keep with what I'm doing.

It would be helpy if you can tell the name of the Comp-App. Matthias ----- Original Message ----- From: Neil Cooke To: UserList RealSoft Sent: Saturday, June 05, 2010 9:51 AM Subject: Render x Frames Tutorial Hi List, The need is to shift to rendering frame by frame. I have no idea how to do this and cant find anything in the manual. I can render an animation to BMPs or JPGs or whatever no problem but have yet to get them into the Comping App or even play them back as a Vid .... working on it though. Also the file sizes go ballistic with what I'm looking at so far so I might be out of luck with limits in the machines for that reason. Currently rendering to AVIs with Cinepack compression. 1920 x 1080. And this system is working well so far. Any help appreciated. Neil Cooke
