In MonkeyJam when I try to export an avi file it comes out really choppy. I have it set at 15 fps and it comes out slow and choppy. Is there another program that can export avi files and capture frames or should I do something to MonkeyJam to fix it? What should I do?
Ok does this look choppy? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xs2sZgB2tZ0
Yes, but I think that's because of your animation itself.
A good carpenter never blames his tools.
That's weird. Some parts are slow, some parts are normal speed, and some parts are fast. I saw the other version of that video, so I compared it to that. Some examples: the run cycle came slow, the drinking came out normal, and the sneaking came out fast. Some parts were so fast that it only lasted half a second.
No it's not my animation. I mean it. I've put these frames in my editing program before and they come out fine but this doesn't seem to be working.

Yeah, that's good advice.
And it does seem to be playing at 15fps, it just looks rather poorly animated.
He said he was sure it was his software. I saw a well-animated version of the video that he linked here. He posted it in WIPs and Tests, but he removed it. It looks to me that when he exports it directly out of MonkeyJam, something messes with the framerate.
Hm, I have heard a lot of animators seem to export in the capture program. I personally thought that editing the actual frames was easier afterwards.
In terms of your problem, I agree with VIMStudios above ^

I'm not trying to sound too proud guys but this really is a problem with the program. It's already pretty fragile on my computer. Any things i should do?
If it's the program, then switch to Helium Frog or another program.
Can they export video?
Of course. They would be a bit useless if they didn't.
