- Short: MPEG sequence done on Amiga
- Author: Processed by G.H. Kuiper (rcflipp@dds.nl)

- Type: pix/anim

- This is my first attempt to create an MPEG-animation. The ani-
- mation consists of 35 frames, showing the well known Zapruder
- footage. For people who are not familiar with this VERY famous
- piece of 8mm film: It was filmed on November 22nd, 1963 in
- Dallas, Texas, and shows the assassination of president John F.
- Kennedy.
- The frames were grabbed using a VLAB frame grabber (by the way:
- the software supplied with the VLAB really SUCKS!) and converted
- using ADPro v2.5. Then they were MPEG encoded with Scott Tribbey's
- (howdy, Scott!) excellent EasyMPEG utility available from Aminet.
- (plug, plug)
- I know it's not a very good quality animation, but that is the
- fault of that really dumb piece of software called VLAB Sequencer.
- It grabs pictures at an irregular interval and is very motion
- sensitive, i.e. motion blurring and striping. Who can tell me how
- this can be avoided?
- I will try to create some better (and more!) grabs in the future
- to create a smoother animation, but don't wait for it!
