- I've found that the best way to render an animation is, instead of
- locking the palette in Imagine, just render a bunch of IFF24s. Then,
- outside of Imagine, convert these to the format you need (HAM8, or
- whatever). Almost always, external conversion tools can do a much
- better job of converting to IFF than Imagine can, and then, you can lock
- the palette or not as you see fit. It also lets you re-make the
- animation in other display modes easily.
