Thanks for the advice Geldslaw,
I have a plan but also tend to rush ahead, or rather I generally have the cart before the horse.
Somehow it always works out for me but not exactly efficient.
I found the way I used to make the little avi's, that is save a wack of images as png's then bundle them into an avi using the ramplayer.
My computer still quite on me after about 1300 png clips, somehow I think that I must be asking too much of it.
I set it up to do one loop around the house, I wanted to slow the sucker down so I set the range to 3000, could that be the problem.
I posted a question in the general category "awaiting liftoff" I wonder if you could addres that one also.
Im having a great time with this stuff but the time to move forward is at hand so as always any advice is appreciated.
As for tossing the computer out the window - no way. This is way to fun.
Thanks
Meini
