check for lingo list index existence

These were lingo animations, not actual video yes? Unless your animations are strictly time-based, I would imagine small differences in each of the animations would take longer/shorter to render, with director adapting the framerate accordingly. Does this even happen with extremely simple animat

out of the blue idea.. why not use midi.. I don't know wheter there is currentlly an Xtra that can handle MTC (Midi Time Code) and MMC (Midi Machine Code). But they should enable you to sync 2 or more computers up tightly enough. In theory, you could use midi clock to sync the 2 or more compute
