Features:-
-Intelligent caching/tracking, MainActor can cache your animations and
picture lists, if you have not enough memory it will directly access
your data from any device. This makes it for example possible to
create/edit/play a 400MB animation on your 2MB Amiga.
-If you run OS 3.0 or higher, you will get an extra speed bonus on
animations through the use of the new graphics routines.
For OS2.0/2.1 users there are specific routines in the modules, which
will give them the best playback speed possible on their system
(and my knowledge :)).
-Under OS 3.0 you will get the extra features of showing pictures or
playing animations in a scrollable, resizable window on your MainActor
or Workbench screen. The colors will be properly adjusted to your screen
attributes.
-The modules have play routines of their own, so it will be possible
to redirect the input/output of special modules to graphic cards or other
hardware.
-The play routines support a timecode per frame option. A Sound Module
(per frame) option will be there in one of the next releases.
-MainActor has a totally user reconfigureable GUI. The settings of your
sessions can be saved, this includes the size/position of windows
as well as the status of the projects.
-MainActor has an arexx port, nearly all functions can be accessed through
it. You can for example scale or dither whole animations through
the use of an image processor, scripts are included.
-MainActor lets you setup and save nearly everything concerning the
display mode for playing an animation or showing a picture.
For example you can set the X/Y offsets, the display mode ID
of your screen (view) and so on.
-MainActor supports localization.
