DESCRIPTION
An animaion, framegrabbing, handyscanner and Blue Screen effect
software for the EGS graphical environment.
This software enables all EGS users (e.g. users of the
typical EGS graphic boards as Piccolo, Piccolo-SD64,
EGS-Spectrum, EGS-110, ...) to create and edit animations
direct on harddisk, grab pictures and sequences from several
framegrabbers, access some handyscanners or apply the
Blue screen effect to pictures/sequences.
Supported framegrabbers:
1) VLab (std., Y/C and parallelport versions of MacroSystems framegrabber)
2) IV24 (GVPs Impact Vision)
3) VideoCruncher (Ing.buero Helfrich)
Single or multiple frames can be grabbed from such framegrabbers and
combined with loaded frames into sequences/animations on harddisk.
Supported handyscanners:
1) Cameron (black&white and greyscale)
2) Reisware (black&white and greyscale)
3) ScanKing (black&white and greyscale)
As scanner interfaces only Cameron and Reisware interfaces are supported.
For animation creation or extension pictures or whole directories of
pictures can be imported in the following file formats:
1) IFF-ILBM (1 to 24Bit incl. HAM6/HAM8)
2) JPeg (color and greyscale)
3) PPM/PGM/PBM (P1&P4 b&w, P5 grey, P6 color)
4) QRT (also known as dump format by PD raytracers as POV-Ray)
5) Targa
6) PCX
7) BMP (uncompressed)
8) TIF (packbit-compr./uncompr.)
9) EGS7.x window icons
10) DEEP
11) YUV
12) VLAB raw
13) RGB
14) HHsYUVSq sequence format
15) IFF-PBM (DPII)
16) ACBM
17) FBM
18) Sun raster (uncompressed)
19) MacPaint (b&w compressed 1Bit format; datafork only)
20) HHsXRL formats
The additional DataType support extends this list by many
formats; DataTypes can e.g. be found on Aminet in util/DType.
Pictures can be downscaled during import.
Animations/sequences can be edited directly on harddisk: new
frames can be inserted/appended and frames can be deleted.
Frames can also be directly imported from ImageFX or ImageFX-EGS.
Frames can be directly exported to ImageFX, ImageFX-EGS, PicoPainter,
ArtEffect, XiPaint, TVPaint or to Clipboard.
Saving of individual frames is also possible in several formats
(e.g. JPeg, IFF-ILBM24, ...).
Animations can be played back at selectable speeds forward and
backward.
The Blue Screen keying effect allows the conbination of several
image sources into one picture. This can e.g. be used to combine a
picture from framegrabber with some blue background with another
background picture, so that the blue background is replaced. The
colour range can be selected by several parameters.
