Please email support at wondertouch dot com and I’ll get you details on the update. I don’t want to post it here.

Strange. Ok, if there is any background footage in the project, remove it from each layer and try again and see if the problem persists.
If it does, zip the project file (ip3) and send it to me at support at wondertouch dot com.
You could also try turning off motion blur, or switching from HQ to regular blur, or try with not saving alpha, or some combo of those. Those are the first things I’ll try anyway with your project if I see the same results you do.

Sorry — it’s red text on the Mac version. What version is pIRender? (click the “?” buttom in the bottom right corner).

When pIRender is running, is there a line at the bottom of the dialog that says “software rendering” — in red text I think? If not, then you didn’t actually turn it off.
If it definitely is using software rendering and you’re still getting black frames, then as a test:
1) in particleIllusion, zoom the stage to fit the window
2) when you render, click “no” on the “set the zoom to 100%” question
3) it will render in particleIllusion. Is the output you get here what you expect?Alan.

Open pIRender manually, click the “Options” button, then uncheck “use hardware acceleration”.
This is a workaround, and I’ll be releasing an update that fixes this any other issues in the next week or so.

I’ll be releasing the update that fixes this Monday at the latest. If you need it NOW, please email support at wondertouch dot com and I’ll set you up with a test version — but I’ll want some testing feedback from you in return.

Way easier doing it the way I suggested. I just made a test project setting up the first emitter, then using copy and paste for the followers. The followers took me about 30 seconds total to do… slide the frame marker, ctrl+V, slide the frame marker, ctrl+V, etc.
Here’s the file:

Or duplicate it in pI3.
1) animate the first emitter
2) copy the emitter
3) move 15 frames ahead (or however many frames you want between the two emitters) then paste
4) repeat steps 2-3 as needed.I haven’t done this in a while but I think it works.

Only parent emitters can have their position specified (follow a path). Child emitters (free emitters) can’t.

No, Win 7 is fine. Sounds like you need to update your video drivers though.
Get the latest drivers from your card manufacturer’s website.
