Why doesn the animation play smoothly in QuickTime or in Windows Media Player?
That’s simple, they are VERY LARGE in size and due to the amount of data that needs to be transferred for each frame MOST computers can NOT play them back smoothly from a stand alone program. Once you put them into your NLE and export to a DVD, they will play smoothly in your final product. When I try to view the animation in QuickTime, it won’t fit on the screen. To make it fit on the screen, click on View at the top of QuickTime and select Half Size. WARNING – DO NOT SAVE IT in the Half Size or it will reduce the animation size to half and it will import as a half size. It is best to view the small demos on the disk instead.
