A few questions...

A few questions -

Is there a preference as to an animation with credits or without credits is submitted to steamline?

Is there anyway to maintain great quality using Cinepak or DV-NTSC? I've been tweaking settings and whatnot, but it's still only at decent quality.

Thanks.

Ok, for credits, I don't really think that there is a preference, but we always go with credits. For the DV-NTSC Or Cinepak thing, are you talking jumpy frames or just overall pixel quality, because from what i've used with Cinepak you get a pretty good picture(pixel wise), but if you're talking about frames, then all you have to do is change the rate at which it captures a key frame, change it from 15 to 1 or whatever value you want. I've found that one works the best if you have a lot of movement in your scene. If it's something to do with quality I would have to look. I hope that that helped, and if you have anymore q's, just post.

We're using Cinepak, and the final video becomes slightly pixelated. I thought the frame rate had to be at 29.9 or whatever?

29.97
And do you mean by pixelated, blocks of color? because Cinepak will sometimes smooth out a section of color and turn it into one. I have my animation at 80% quality. And is quite fine.
