there is a modifier in 3DS MAX called "ripple". I think insert coin just animated the value of that to make the plane move. Am I right? Am I right? ;)

Hey,
Just found this ad for unlimited webhosting. Don't know what the server's connection to the net is like though.

In Premiere 6.5, right click on the title track in the timeline and select Motion. Then set a keyframe at the beginning of the clip, and then at the end of the clip set another keyframe with it zoomed in to whatever percentage you want.

Would uncompressed make the quality better than the source video? In a word: No. You will never make the quality better than your source video. For example, if you recorded a clip with a Webcam (which is around 320x240 resolution) and then converted it to DV-Avi in premiere (which is what, 768x576 ...

Hmmmm, hopefully nothing rankz, but if the firecracker was big enough and anything did happen, my bet would be the can would explode and send hot sharp shrapnel flying through the air. Veeeeerrrrryyyy dangerous, wouldn't recommend it.
