Yeah my bad. 640X480 29.7 fps... Full/Best No compression. I'm just rendering this stuff out for a preview and it's clunky at full-size on my machine. I guess that is a compression issue... When I'm ready to actually do something with this... show it to a client... I figured I worry about compression etc then. I'll assume its a compression issue and go from there... I was just worried it was a rendering issue... ie files on the "home" drive or something like one can get with FCP.
