Sure, and then I converted them to video using Gromada's VideoMach, but there are more options.

Okay, after a long while it's time to tackle animation, I have a scene where a desk drawers open and close, it works in the scene previews using Proper animation and all, but when I test render I get 90 images of the same thing...what am I doing wrong?

my guess is that you have your camera set to render a specific camera instead of "current view".
next, be sure your scene *DELAY* is set to zero. (EDIT - OOPS - thanks Solo)
be sure you read the Proper Animation section in the reference section of the user manual.

Ah, you mean delay set to 0 and transitions set according to time you need?

Last time I tried, Proper animation and Mover.rb didn't quite match what you see in the SU viewport when rendered via either Whaat's "Smoothstep animation" or Twilight. Motion becomes spasmodic.

You could try to assemble a simple SketchyPhysics setup that can reproduce that motion, using invisible parts.

Right now I'm installing the last version of Proper Animation again to see how it works.

Seems to work okay, granted this is a simple scene. For some reason my Twilight has switched to Demo mode and installing it again does not help, it gives me an error when doing a license request.

Is today Monday? as it feels like one.

Funny, I also had lots of trouble with my LightUp license months ago. Could it be a Vista/Windows 7 problem?

Anyway, as I said, Proper Animation's movement is still spasmodic when rendered. Quick-stop-quick-stop instead of move-move-move.
