Thanks both of you. Yes I need to work on compression I use Vmach or TMPGEnc but
I am unsure what settings to use. That movie is 60 frames at 512 x 384 what size
should it be, what bit rate should I use?
My next task for this animation is to animate the body of the cylinder. BTW the
latest version of PoseRay is really good.
