A tip for using BATCH EXPORT

[Mikdog]

If you're like me and using the MAC version, you will find that the normal EXPORT ANIMATION has a nasty tendency to crash the program. Nice.

So, you can use BATCH EXPORT to drag your anime studio file into and let it render out without a preview, which is a lot more stable.

HOWEVER, you may be tearing your hair out (like me) when the entire file renders, and then there's no movie file created.

You have to include the .anme file extension with the file. Even though Mac OS X might recognize the file as an Anime Studio file, if it doesn't say ***.anme in the file, somehow it will go through the process of rendering to 100%, but not leave you with a movie file at the end.

(I'm using Leopard OS X)

Also, it's a good idea to set the project to start at FRAME 1 instead of FRAME 0 in the PROJECT PREFERENCES pane.

This took me a while to figure out. Dayeem.
