- <h2>Java Media Framework</h2>
-
- <p>The JMF enables you to save animations using the Quicktime video format. If the JMF is missing, then
- animations can only be saved as a collection of still images. See relevant section for JMF installation.</p>
-
- <p>The JMF files can't be distributed along Art of Illusion for legal matters, but here's nonetheless a simple
- way to make it work with AoI. The first step is to download the JMF <b>for all Java</b> archive zip file from
- <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/download.html">Sun's site</a>
- (<b>http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/download.html</b>).</p>
-
- <p>You will have to unzip the archive using your favourite unzip
- utility and extract jmf.jar to where Art of Illusion has been installed
- (most likely C:\Program Files\ArtOfIllusion).</p>
-
- <p>The JMF extension will take about 2Mb disk space once installed</p>
-
-
- <h2>Installation is finished, where to go now ?</h2>
-
- <p>Well you can have a nice go at the Hourglass tutorial, a very famous beginner tutorial. And pay a visit
- to the <a href="http://aoisp.sourceforge.net">Scripts and Plugins repository</a> where some very
- handy extensions are available. Installation of these extensions is very simple : select the Scripts
- and Plugins Manager from the Tools menu. Select the install tab and choose any script or plugin you want
- to install. It's as simple as that...</p>
