Quote - i was interested in Reality 3 for poser, but it does not support rendering animation like poser pro to do it (poser pro can do the animation in video codec whereas Reality can only do image one by one then you have to recomposite the video animation after the render).

 

That no longer works for me in PP2014, unfortunately.  I used to be able to select one of my installed codecs and render a clip, now I have to render frames as I can't get Poser to see the codecs...  When I start using Reality soon I will already be used to doing that. :rolleyes:

That said, loading the first frame into Virtualdub will load all of them automatically if they are numbered sequentially.  It's another couple steps, sure, but many people insist that rendering frames is the smart thing to do.  (I think it is best sometimes and other times it seems just another unnecessary step - depends on the length of the clip and whether any post work is needed)

(If you haven't used Virtualdub with Poser, I recommend giving it a try.  The program is free and there are loads of cool (and free) filters that can really give your renders a unique look.  Using the filter blender with threshold and blur, for example, I was able to create a nice bloom effect for adding soft halos to my light sources.  Many possibilities there.)
