Thanks....I now have read in a Kayak manual that you can get 30 seconds for the first level of RAMrecorder, but you can get an upgrade and get up to 60 seconds.... so (doing the math) you can have 6 - 10 second clips...or in my desire 3 - 10 second animations plus 1 - 15 second video/key clip. Thanks

[quote="JohnHowardSC"]YES you can do this, the only drawback is the size of the files. For example the Kayak I'm generally on will only allow me to have forty seconds (at 720p) of clips in the Ram Recorder. Not sure if this is the upper limit or if there is expanded Ram we just didn't buy. But I can loop clips totaling the entire capacity simultaneously with no problem. JH[/quote] 40 seconds? That is crazy, I am pretty sure that I can only get 30 seconds of SD at my facility. I'm not saying that you are wrong, I am just saying that I am jealous that you have 10 more seconds than I do. Also, The SD only Kayak I work with was one of the very first ones produced. Matt

thanks Mike....according to the stuff I have read .... the kayak has 6 channels.....so if it works the same way as the xtendd recorder then I could do 3 full animations + vid/key anim (that equals to 5 channels)

[quote="tvtd4u"]Hey quick question about the RAM recorder. This is what I want to do....can it do it? Playback 3 generic full frame animations (loops) Playback 1 lower 1/3 animated Bug (Fill + Key)(loop) Playback all four animations at the same time. Can the Kayak do this? Thanks[/quote] tvtd4u, not sure how helpful this will be, since i haven't seen a kayak, but if the ram recorder is identical to the xtendd ram recorder (and also that you have 4 outputs, ram 1-ram 4), then: yes, you can playback four animations simultaneously. you'd have to chroma/or lum-key the lower third though, because you don't have a 5th output of ram. the ram recorder i'm familiar with didn't have an embedded key. perhaps the kayak ram recorder is more sophisticated, and can record your key as well. we have to burn two channels of ram recorder to record/play back vid+key.
