Subject: RE:Frame animations too jerky Date: Sat, 21 May 1994 10:20:55 +0300 (EET DST) From: Foivos Kourendas <foivos@theseas.ntua.gr> Mr Don DeCosta, The secret to this difference is that the cartoons use so little colors between the frames .On the other hand your animations through imagine are in full colour 24 Bit format (At least the original one) .Besides that if you want your animatins to be more smooth ...you will have to use STABLE camera .If you use a lot of camera movements in a scene then your animaton is likely to be jurky (This is because of the compression that ANIM5 format uses) .This is because this format saves the difference between the frames and it needs some time for your computer to decompress it again and so you the original animation There are ways thogh to solve your problems .First of all the less colour and less resolution the speediest your animation would be .If you CAN'T make this (LIKE I DON'T)...there is a program called VT in conjuction with Make ANIM7 .I really don't know where you could find them in aminet(SORRY) The ANIM7 format is MUCH more speedier than ANIM5 BUT your animation will be larger(because it uses less comprassion)..I guess you can't have'em all.It is either speed or disk space Yours sincerely, Foivos foivos@phgasos.ntua.gr -=> RETURN TO CONTENTS!<=-
