HHsYUVSq sequence/animation saver GIO module (V3.1) for Photogenics
============================================
-> This animation creation module for Photogenics may only be distributed
together with the FastUniversalGIO module! <-
This module can be used to create animations with Photogenics in the
famous HHsYUVSq sequence format. For playback of such animations you
can use:
a) CyberTVPlayer (Freeware) (available e.g. on Aminet gfx/board)
Can play such animations in HiColor/TrueColor like quality on CyberGraphX
HiColor/TrueColor Workbench.
Can play such animations in reduced color (2 to 256) on any Amiga Workbench
if at least OS3.0 is available.
CyberTVPlayer plays animations direct from disk and can thus be used
to play animations of any size! For faster speed you could copy small
sequences to RAM: before playing them.
b) EGSTVPlayer (Freeware) (available e.g. on Aminet gfx/board)
Can play such animations on EGSDefault Screen in conjunction with the
EGS graphic environment (TrueColor/HighColor or reduced color).
EGSTVPlayer plays animations direct from disk and can thus be used
to play animations of any size! For faster speed you could copy small
sequences to RAM: before playing them.
c) EGS-TV Professional (Shareware) (available e.g. on Aminet gfx/board)
Can edit and play such animations (insert frames, append frames, delete
frames; special effects "Blue Screen Keying" etc).
Status of this module: This module is "Bonusware" which means that it is
a free bonus product for registered UniversalGIO module users. It is delivered
as part of the new UniversalGIO release. If you are not yet registered for
my UniversalGIO, this module will create sequences only in greyscales,
so please support shareware and register for my UniversalGIO module now...
(see HHsFastGIOModule.readme for details about registration).
Using this module:
a) Create a new sequence
Just save the picture which you want to become the first frame of your
animation with the HHsYUVSq.gio saver. In the file requester you should
select a new filename. The GIO module will then try to create a sequence
with this name.
Important: Image dimensions are limited! Only even wide images can be
used to create a sequence; the image wide must be in the range 80..360.
The image height must be in the range 64..310!
If you have a collection of much bigger images you can use the new
downscaled loading option of my UniversalGIO loader module to get the
images in downscaled form into Photogenics quickly...
b) Append a frame to a sequence
Just save the picture which you want to append to an animation with the
HHsYUVSq.gio saver. In the file requester you should select the filename
of the animation to which the frame should be appended.
New: If you have at least Photogenics V1.2 you can select "Prefs" options
for the saver: an option allows to make file name selection permanent; if
this is selected, the file name of the sequence will only be requested
once (as long as the saver module is not flushed out of memory), enabling
you to simply append frames by calling the saver. If you want to change
the file name later, you first have to deselect this Prefs option. This
option should be esp. useful if a future version of Photogenics becomes
available with ARexx support, so that automatic appending of multiple
frames becomes possible...
Important: You can only append images of the correct size to a sequence.
Differently sized images can not be saved in one sequence. Please scale or
crop the images to the size of the first frame in the sequence.
Special note for EGS-TV users: You can load and edit sequences created with
this module with EGS-TV as well. In the other way this is only possible if
the sequence is of the right kind (color,sequential mode,half frame/LoRes).
