Hello,

I am wondering..how do you render an animation that is longer than 3 seconds? All my renderings have been 3 seconds. I've tried .mov and .avi with various codecs. I can't find where to change this setting? I tried changing the frames per second..and the 8 second per keyframe..but I haven't got it more than 3 seconds. I would like to make it 30 seconds. Can anyone help?? Thank you!

30 frames in ntsc mode is equals to 1 second (1.10)...
25 for pal, 24 for film.... etc....

in the bottom u can see by default its 100 frames right....?




thats explain it why everytime u render its only around 3 seconds....



change the frames to 900 frames for a 30 seconds clip... (30 frames x 30 seconds)

Yay! Finally thank you!! THank you very much!!

I am wondering..do you have the help file for 3ds max 7? I only have tht tutorial files. But no user reference file.

here u go.....
download and put it in ur help folder.....

Thanks man!!

Hmm..there is a 120Kb file but when I open up user reference, there's only the introduction and backburner on the left panel but the backburner cannot be opened.

sorry, i uploaded the wrong one.....

the right one is 47mb......
that one is for 3ds max 8 (the diff. with 7 is just, it add the new stuff in 8....)

if u still want it, i'll send u by ym... pm me for my email...

or just download the reference file from 3ds max site.....
