Topic: Slow MonkeyJam
Recently, my MonkeyJam program has been going really slow. It takes a long time for me to see a preview of the video and to save it as a video. Any ideas why it might be going slow?

Because you have many frames? Usually to preview it renders the frames, when rendering the more frames you have, the longer it will take. Also, if you have Vista or Windows 7 you have to change the compatibility mode to Windows XP to get better results from monkeyjam.

How do you change the compatibility? And even if I do a preview of 10-20 frames it is still really slow.
I changed my compatibility to Windows XP service pack 2 and 3 but it is still slow. Any other suggestions?
Switch away from MonkeyJam.

Do you know a better free animation program?

Well, I don't know if it is the programs problem or my computer's problem. I have a Windows 7, so I think MonkeyJam should be working fine. Thanks for the other programs. I will definetly try them.
It's probably just because of the resolution you're using. The higher the resolution, the longer it takes to take and render frames.
