As much as we'd all hope that Infini-D would be completely bug-free, we need to be realistic. All software has bugs. There will always be a lag time between the bug report and a fix from MetaCreations.

The most we can hope for, in the mean time, is a way to make things work, going around those bugs as much as possible. This page is intended to warn people of possible bugs BEFORE they become a problem (before the final rendering/deadline), and to provide a workaround which will get the job done. Some of these solutions may be complicated. It may mean the difference between a job completed on deadline, or a job not completed.

Remember the golden rule- Always BACK-UP your work! Keep multiple copies in multiple places each time you make a change you don't want to redo.
