Video mach is free for noncommercial use. And cheap if commercial. No editing capabilities.

Forgot to mention that you can also download free windows media encoder. I still use Video Mach with Standard free DivX codec, better size/ quality IMO.

WHy not just use Lightwave to do it for you?
A little trick i learnt a while ago before i got After Effects! Just load the image sequence into Lightwave as a background. Adjust the camera and hit render. Super quick as there is no obects!

I would use it if compositing needed. Place few screens before camera and use alpha to create compositing layers. I would thou like to have After Effects

I use my computer for lightwave and other stuff (halo gaming) and my project right now is taking about 1-7 min to render a frame, with picture i can stop and continue the render whenever I need to, instead of stopping my stystem for 18 hours just for it. |

What image formats you're using? 32bit targa carries alpha, and good quality, but greater file size. Any opinions about animation sequence format?

Am I just crazy or can you render it in a higher resolution and resize it so you don't need as much anti-aliasing?

Sounds like a plausable alternative to me.
Of course you'd need more disk space so I suppose it's a trade off. |
