- Wildfire - where dreams become virtuality
-
- A Special Effect Program and many more
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Wildfire is not only another brandnew image-processing-program -
- it's a professional animation-processor with some really new concepts.
-
- It allows you for example the creation and processing of animations in
- several formats, the generation of time-dependant special-effects
- and the design of large projects containing several animations and
- frame-synchronized sound-effects.
-
- Because the common animation-formats on the Amiga have too many
- lacks or restrictions we have tried to create a better one: YAFA.
- This animation-format for example features many compression-methods
- and realtime-zooming.
-
- One of the outstanding features of Wildfire is the fact that it
- makes for you no difference if you apply changes to a whole animation
- or if you process only one image. A single image is only a
- very special case of an animation.
-
- In contrary to common image-processors you can use envelopes instead
- of plain numbers as effect-parameters. This makes the easy creation
- of time-dependant special-effects possible.
- So you haven't to fight against the "do"-loops in an ARexx-script to
- get an animation outside your image-processor anymore.
-
- All of the numerous effects can be arranged in any number and
- combination. Because the output of any of these effects can be
- one of the 8 tempory-buffers Wildfire allows you to
- PROGRAM IMAGES in an comfortable way !
-
-
- Main Features:
-
- -fast and comfortable Converter:
- input: YAFA, ANIM5/7/8, mpeg, image-sequences
- output: YAFA, ANIM5/7/8, image-sequences
-
- -Preview for almost any operation
-
- -Project-Editor which allows the creation of large and complicated
- projects easily using the mouse
-
- -Effect-Generator featuring time-dependant parameters via envelopes
-
- -a stunning library of effect-PlugIns
-
- -some really new effects, real 3D-effects
-
- -superposition of 3D-effects (PowerPlugs!)
-
- -(un)loading of PlugIns at any time
-
- -Envelope-Editor
-
- -Timecodes-Editor
-
- -Transition-Maker for easy creation of transitions between two animations
-
- -easy-to-use Player-interface
-
- -Filmstrips to simplify the perfect timimg of huge projects
-
- -AnimInfo-function displaying size-profiles etc.
-
- -fontsensitive GUI without MUI
-
- -internal gadget-toolbox which handles mathematical expressions
- instead of only plain numbers
-
- -calculator which allows for example the export of user-defined symbols
- to the gadgets in the whole-program
-

-
- -ARexx-port with about 400 commands
-
- -macros, custom-windows, docks
-
- -import of images from other programs
-
- -Developer-Kit (with working example) which allows you to create
- your own effect-PlugIns
-
- -and many more
-

-
- Requirements:
-
- Hardware
- -MC68020 or higher
- -AGA chipset
- -2 MB Fast
- -recommended: FastRAM, HardDisk
-
- Software
- -AmigaOS V39 (3.0) or higher
-
-
- This Demo-Version contains all features. The only restriction is that the
