How are you guys assembling your animations? I have used QuickTime to join the stills, but lately it doesn’t run smooth. It’ll only run smooth if you pull the slider. I have had success using XP movie maker… Any suggestions that have worked for you?
thats probably due to the codec (or lack of) that is causing it to play badly.
What codec are you using for the output? what (pixel) size is your video?

Premiere works best for me, render the sequence with no compresion and then we compress with TMPGEnc … which uses a multitude of codecs..
I have also experienced the jerkyness of quicktime. I believe it is a known issue…
Don’t know a solution I am afraid, I also find the output quite blurry from quicktime.
I don’t seem to be able to achieve the nice sharply defined detail that I see in some of the animations I see on this forum and also on domestic dvds.
people seem to foget that if they dont have a video editing program they can still edit their footages inside 3dsmax itself in the video post. it can even do simple compositing for you
TMPGEnc
I tried the TMPGEnc, but at the higher resolution I couldn’t find the codec. I ended up using MAX’s ram player.
Bink at radgametools.com…free and exports out a video with the player embedded so the you don’t have to worry about the end user having the right codec.
