1) There are twelve small 400 x 320 pixel images (icons)
in the movie directory, plus 3 movie scripts. These
movie icons are not accessible from CHANCE'S ART, since
this is a DEMO version that does not allow the use of
these larger icons in Film Strips. A full version has
no such limitation and our distribution tape therefore
contains large icon samples which are directly accessible
from within CHANCE'S ART.
2) The 3 command scripts in movie are:
a) animate_1 (least RAM, runs VERY fast)
This script entails no replicated frames, uses the least
amount of RAM, but runs very quickly. This will look
best on R2000 or R3000 processor systems. On faster
platforms, the motion will be FAR too quick!
b) animate (a compromise in RAM & speed)
This script is the same as animate_1, except that
each frame is duplicated twice, to create slower
motion by using more RAM. On a minimal RAM system
you may not get all the frames simultaneously in
RAM; in which case, the movie will be forever
interrupted by swapping.
c) animate_3 (most RAM, runs best on R4000/4400)
This script just runs the 12 frames as a movie.
Each frame is displayed 3 times; as a result, the
RAM requirements will cause swapping on some systems.
All 36 frames must be in RAM at the same time to
avoid swapping hitches in the motion. Hence this
script runs best on R4000/R4400 systems with at
least 32MB RAM.
