I posted this as a reply in a topic and thought I'd post it separately since no one responded (i.e., maybe it got buried).

Re: the Evolving style, the 3DTime website says about this style: "This set of templates are designed for post video production and require extensive 3D rendering computation and may not play very smooth in realtime with an old computer." My questions are:

1) Exactly what do they mean by "post video production"? I.e., after what step in creating the movie? 3D-Album Build? Mix? Capture? During/After video editing (I have Nero)?

2) What does "extensive 3D rendering computation" mean? What do I have to do differently or in addition to what I do when Building/Mixing/Capturing/Editing when I'm not using the Evolve style?

It basically says that you can use it for capturing video files but may not be suitable for real-time presenation if you video card is not good enough.

I hope I don't seem too dense -

Are you referring to the video card on the computer I'm using to create the show or the one used for playback? I want to make a DVD to play on a TV - if my card is good enough to create it, then I would think it will be fine on the TV - am I correct in this?

Also, the 3D-Time site goes onto say "may not play very smooth in realtime with an old computer" which is what it sounds like you're saying - so I think I'm answering my question!

I have NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 (obtained just recently when I got my new computer so it should be pretty capable).
