- FLI2GIF - V1.0 March 4, 1992
-
- This program was first released on America Online. Come join the club
- at the PC Graphics Forum. Keyword, pc graphics.
-
- This is a FLI viewer utility that has the added feature of allowing you to
- grab frames from a FLI file and save them to a GIF. FLI files are animation
- files that are created by the Autodesk Animator program.
-
- The commands for FLI2GIF are as follows :
-
- To run, enter :
-
-
- FLI2GIF <yourfli>
-
- where <yourfli> is any file with the .FLI extention.
- FLI2GIF will start playing the animation. When it gets to
- the end, it will loop back to the begining of the animation
- and continue to play.
-
- While the FLI plays over and over you can press these keys at anypoint:
-
-
- 'P' to pause :
-
- Hitting 'P' will freeze the action on the screen.
- If you hit 'P' again, the animation will advance
- by one frame. While in this freeze mode, you can
- hit 'S' to save this frame to a GIF file, or hit 'Q'
- to quit.
-
- 'S' to save to a GIF file :
-
- The screen will clear and you will be asked to type
- in a file name for the GIF you want to save. Please
- don't include the .GIF extension in your file name as
- FLI2GIF will add that on for you. The program will
- then begin saving. When finished, it will return you
- to the animation. If you want to exit without saving
- to a GIF file, type 'exit' at the filename prompt.
-
- '0'-'9' to vary the playback speed :
-
- Pressing these keys will modify the rate at which
- the FLI plays. 0 is the fastest speed, while 9 is
- the slowest.
-
- 'Q' to quit :
-
- Hitting this key will stop the animation and exit the
- program.
-
- Lowercase letters work too.
-
