When using flexible sub-assemblies and creating paths for the pieces it seems that animator will sporatically loose the path's for the sub. If you close without saving and reopen they may come back (you may have to close and reopen a few times to get everything) but if you accidentally save you are screwed. I have also noticed that PhotoWorks sometimes will not bring all the materials across from the parts of an assembly you may have to Ctrl-Q to get them back. I atempted to make the final cut of a video I had been working on last night and both of these happened so my camera zoomed around an inanimate object and the rendering of it wasn't quite right even though I had done 2 million tests to make sure the render was just the way I wanted it. Now I have to try again tonight too bad I don't have a dual processor. Quite annoying. SW isn't my friend this past week. I was quite happy until about 2 weeks ago when I started messing with new things. Rant over. Thanks for listening and be careful, Corey
