Has anyone had experience of this? I have made an .avi that I quite like to use as back projection in a play but it is a bit jerky. The default for the number of frames in the zoom animation is 10 ( I used 40) - How much can I put this up to before it gets silly? and what frame rate should I set when rendering the avi? and what advantage might there be in slowing down the time of each frame?
hi, i have no idea if anyone has answered this or not but i had a similar problem using xaos and i concluded that the problem was more with my computer, that it couldn't redraw as fast as my mouse was moving, unfortunately i do not know how fractal explorer gernerates it's animations so i'm not sure if that is the answer in your case except that usually a frame rate of 25-29 is usually sufficient in the compliation of mpegs.

Perhaps I should have replied to myself!! I have now made an avi in Fractal Explorer. It took me a bit of experimenting as I don't understand most of the terminology. For non jerky movies make the frame rate 25fps. So for a minute of video it is 1500 frames. Go away and cook your dinner while the images are rendering, or on a slow computer let it work while you sleep. I needed a really high quality movie as it is being projected onto a 7ft x 7ft screen. As you can save all your settings in Fractal Explorer you can make a very low resolution movie to test and when you get what you like change the resolution and away you go. Thank you to everyone to helped me with this. Margaret
