Smoker time limit?

Hello there
Anybody have smoker trouble? I have a sequence that was 15 secs long with a smoker working with two buffer lights and everything was working fine. The sequence has been extended to 25 secs and the smoke now freezes at 20secs, the properties of the lights and the smoke are not animated at all, but the smoke has a turbulence value.
Any ideas?

Afternoon Al,

It worked here, maybe try making the smoker again, or making it in a separate prj and merging it in....

Not sure what the problem might be.

We went to Pacific for lunch today, I’m stuffed!

Got it, the camera position movement had stopped at 20 secs, giving the illusion that the smoke was drifting for those 20 when it was moving.....duh shhhmoke n mirrors eh.
