That's why the = main comps are so long. And when I go from one main to the next main = comp, I have the end of the previous comp at the top of the next one to = keep the flow going. Anyway, rendered 124 pieces over five hours last = night. Now to check them out. And shifting gears a bit, any suggestions for batching 124 MOVs into = WMVs?
