Presently I make as many Postscript frames as my storage medium will hold, and convert them to QuickTime in batches that will fit into my RAM. This involves several user interventions during the production of a long movie ( say 1000 frames). Thinking it would be better to store the individual frames in QuickTime originally, or another relatively compressed form that could be later joined into a QT movie, I used the Display command to convert frames to various output formats. Only PICT was accepted by QT, and with much degraded image quality. What have others done to facilitate the production of long movies? I'm using v3.01 on a Mac. Thanks, Bill Marks
