- NAME
- BuildAnim - Builds, splits, or converts IFF animations
-
- SYNOPSIS
- Usage: BuildAnim infile outfile [SPLIT] [ANIM5|ANIM7S|ANIM7L]
- [SHOW] [VERBOSE] [BUFSIZE n] [RELTIME n]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- BuildAnim can do one of three operations: 1) It can build an
- animation out of individual ILBM pictures, 2) it can split an
- animation into ILBM pictures, or 3) it can convert an animation
- from one compression type to another.
-
- The build and convert operations will be performed automatically
- if the input file is a picture, or an animation, respectively.
- The split operation will be done if the SPLIT switch is used.
- The output filename will then be used as a basename, i e a three
- digit frame number will be appended for each file.
-
- BuildAnim supports these ANIM compression types: 2, 3, 5, 7 and J,
- but only types 5 and 7 can be written.
-
- OPTIONS
- SPLIT Tells BuildAnim to split the animation indicated by
- the input filename. The output filename will be used
- as a basename for the output picture files.
-
- ANIM5 Specifies which compression should be used for the
- ANIM7S output animation. ANIM7S/ANIM7L denote the short and
- ANIM7L long modes of ANIM7.
-
- SHOW When used, BuildAnim will show each frame as it's
- being processed. Note: The work memory will only be
- allocated from chip memory if SHOW is used.
-
- VERBOSE Tells BuildAnim to print some information about the
- animation/pictures being processed, such as picture
- size/depth, display modes, animation type.
-
- BUFSIZE n Sets the buffer size to n bytes. The default is 204800
- (200 KBytes). BuildAnim uses two buffers of this size,
- one for input and one for output.
-
- RELTIME n Sets the value for playback timing that will be stored
- in the animation. Measured in 1/50 seconds if you're
- running on a PAL system, or 1/60 for NTSC systems.
-
- KEYS
- ESC Quits BuildAnim (you can also use the right mouse button)
-
- ENVIRONMENT
- BUILDANIMOPTS Set this to whatever options you want to use as
- default. Obviously, SPLIT may not be used here.
