That's beautiful, Myron! It's hard to give you advice for format because I don't know what you have to work with. Here's what I do for format. I render to an image sequence. Then I use QuickTime Pro to "Export" that to a QuickTime movie (.mov) with H.264 compression with these settings... The kbits/sec setting will vary depending on many factors. When it's done, I change the ".mov" at the end of the file name to .mp4 and I have a file that will play in the A:M forum. Note that this workflow is not the same as choosing MPEG-4 or MP4 when choosing compression. But you don't have Quicktime Pro, I presume. But you have something that you edit video in, and it probably takes in numbered image sequences and can render out compressed versions of projects that you edit in that app and when you render out your compressed version you choose settings like what I have shown. What are you using to put your videos together?

I would VERY much like to see a screencap of the render settings. It absolutely is possible to pick up in the middle of a render. Something is just mis set.

Can you show a screen cap of your settings?

Having a project like this that raises questions is a good way to learn!

Have a great holiday, Jason!

So what are the nice features in Windows 10 that I can't live without? I haven't found one yet.

I guess "tiles" are for people who don't have a mouse but i prefer the old Windows 7 Start menu. This article recommends "Classic Shell" How to Make Windows 10 Look and Act More Like Windows 7

It just finished. I'm back on it now. I'm going to keep one computer on Windows 7.

My Windows 7 computer has been on "Do not turn off your computer" for about two hours now because of this... Microsoft forced to create a free Windows 7 update just days after updates ended

But they do indeed have a windows 10 driver for it on their site. That is very odd. Does the laptop work at all in Windows 10 without the driver?

John, can you tell us more about what your hardware is that you are updating?

When you run the installer does it start but then stop with no message even?

There was also a "System" temp displayed but that was always within a degree or two of the CPU temp.

You can drag a pose from one model to another. Use the crosshairs icon. Don't resave the first model after you do.

The case was already open but I tried it again and got better results. This time at 3.0Ghz i got 3:55 per frame. I don't know why it is different. The CPU temp peaked out at 42° C which doesn't seem too bad.

Very cool! that's like TinkerBell

I ran the A:M three teapots benchmark on my Core 2 Quad Q6600 machine. At the stock speed of 2.4GHz it takes about 5:10 per frame I have a utility to overclock the CPU. At 2.8GHz it takes about 4:14 per frame, which is about 20% improvement for only a 16% increase in speed. But at 3.0GHz the time goes up to 4:40 per frame. So what goes wrong at that higher speed?

that's a good composite!

Interesting. Does your old user name not work?

That is very good. I don't know about running it from the mac side but on my PC I get faster benchmark times if I run several instances of A:M (number of cores - 1) and send them all rendering simultaneously. Just one instance of A:M wasn't enough to get Windows to throttle the CPU up to full speed.

Cool! He previously had a website where he made them available but the links are all broken now. Here is the link to his Youtube page... https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUOzJhz941BBdMMb6gg0R1g/videos Thanks for contacting him, Mike!
