I posted this Imagine 1.0 complaint earlier in another thread..but here it
is again..it appears that 1.0 Imagine is not fully compatible w/ the Amiga
1000..that is you can not render to anim format animations..altho you can
render to imagine format..but then you can't have sound or mix it into
things like the director, DVideo III or other.  I get a message "only two 
screens to work with" no matter what kind of anim format I render to..
but at least the imagine format does go and render anyway..but with rendering
to anim format I get the message "can't create anim file".  If I try to 
render the same anim on a housemate's Amy 2000 with the ECS/1meg chip ram
NO problem..the point is you should be able to render anim format animations
with 512k of chip ram..this would be the first animation program that I've
seen on the Amy that could not.  
If anyone has any work-around ideas for this..I'm all ears (eyes).  Right now
the only way I can think to get an anim is to render all frames of the 
animation and then employ page-flipper fx or director to string the frames
together into an anim.  Othe ideas?
