(In fact, I never knew it was there!) Pay the $30 or $40 to Apple to upgrade QuickTime to QuickTime Pro, or, if you use a Mac, get Graphic Converter from LemkeSoft. Then, in Mathematica, generate your frames as before and use Export to write them as .PNG or .GIF files. Be careful to give them serial names: Frame001.png, Frame002.png, etc. (Do not forget to pad the numerals on the left with zeros, or you'll get something you didn't expect!) Then use QuickTime Pro or Graphic Converter (historically better) to make your .MOV See my website at <http://rowdy.msudenver.edu/%7Etalmanl/MathAnim.html> for some animations produced in this way. --Lou Talman Department of Mathematical & Computer Sciences Metropolitan State University of Denver <http://rowdy.msudenver.edu/%7Etalmanl>
