This has always been a problem. The problem often arises when you use very
subtle light changes, even with 24 bits. We have changed from an integer
format image to a floating format image and this has improved the quality
of our images. I don't know if 32 bits will solve the problem any better.
Dithering can help. Gamma correction can help, if the problem is in the
quality of your display devices.

Subject: ANIM Splitter?
Date: 2 Jan 93 00:29:02 GMT
Organization: BBS

Alright all you Animheads:

Is there a program that will take an ANIM (Op5) file and break it up 
into seperate IFF frames?  (I know there must be... but where/what?)
I can't use DPaint becuase each frame in this animation has a different
palette.  In fact, that's why I want to break it up, so I can recombine
it into an ANIM with a locked palette to be manipulated in DPaint.  Not
only that, but DPaint has this annoying bug that causes this particular
HAM ANIM to be loaded in Hires... I don't know why.  I've tried NewZap'ing
the CAMG chunk, but that doesn't work.  What's weird is that if I load
this ANIM as a PIC, it loads correctly in HAM-Lace Overscan...

Freeking computers... drive me nuts!  ;^)

PD solutions would be preferred at this time, but any good commercial
program would be considered also.  I've seen this one brandnew program,
I think from PP&S(?), that's supposed to be an all-around ANIM builder/
splitter/palette-locker/recombiner/manipulator... similar to the old
Hash Animation Editor, but I can't remember the name of it exactly.
"AnimLab" or something?  If someone could point me toward this I'd surely
send you thousands of email messages thanking you every day....
(OK, just one.)

Also, isn't there a way to make an ANIM with Imagine with a locked
palette?  I swear Imagine is supposed to ask you, when you begin
rendering, if you want the palette locked, but for this animation
it didn't at any time ask me that question.  I was rendering in
ILBM-12bit + HAM + Lace + ANIM format.

I'm also wondering if there is a way to have Imagine lock the palette,
NOT to the first frame, but to some other frame into the animation a bit.
The first frame of this animation is almost blank, and so the palette
would not be good to use for the rest of the animation.

I swear I used to have the right tools around for this kind of thing,
but using DCTV for the last coupla years has made me go soft!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but on a PC and a Mac II aren't they both 256
colour mapped systems? Whereas the Amiga AGA modes are 8 bitplanes from a
24 bit palette???? I've used a couple of PC's with Windows 3.1 in 256
colours and it was real yawn material, and have found the AGA quite fast. I
did find it interesting that the 1200 and 4000 256 colour modes are about
the same speed! I expected a big difference between the two machines,
elsewhere there is, is this something to do with the chipram bandwidth?

Yes and time trax and kung fu, you saw had promos on a station out in

There is a station here that has it.  But too bad my cable company doesn't

Hi there.  DigiView 4.0 is what created those Dynamich Hires pics.  You 
can take a 24bit picture, load it into DigiView, and then convert it to 
Dynamic Hires.  The only problem is, 1 in about every 20 pictures 
actually converts well.  If there are too many different colours in the 
picture, you will get banding and things like that... MY solution was to 
buy a DCTV, and then look at my pics in hires with way more colours than 
DynaHires will give you, without and dithering or things like that.  Hope 
that helps some.

Well, I was talking about data that is accessible and usuable by Amiga
programs. While your hypertext example is valid you will not find that many
hypertext disks.

I rather think of graphics data like clip art, font libraries or digitized
images (like your tax sheets). BTW, developer stuff is also distributed

No, it was not using promotion - I shut off both that and PKludge before
running the anim.  But I did miss a little on the frame rate (I was just
guessing).  I timed it exactly last night, and it is doing somewhere
between 5 and 5.25 FPS in 640x400x8, interlaced.

I dunno, that seems OK to me.  At least its *way* faster than my
2000/040 was capable of going.

I think to a large extent it depends on the number and size of the
deltas between frames.  On my 2000 I never got more than 2 or 3 FPS from
640x400x4 with fairly large delta sizes, but I could get 20 FPS in the
same 640x400x4 with smaller deltas.  I have no doubt the 4000 would go 3
or 4 times faster in the same cases.  But here, we're pushing twice the
amount of data per frame (deep screen), and the deltas are large.  So
the 4000 running 5 or 6 FPS from an 8 plane screen with large deltas is
moving data at 4X the speed that the 2000 was, when the 2000 was running
2 or 3 FPS from a 4 plane screen.  Also, if PPShow is 4X faster than
VTek on the very same anim file, one wonders if yet another anim program
might be faster than PPShow - maybe the hardware can do more than the
software I'm using can do.

Another factor is that there were some pixel level changes between
frames in *many* places where they shouldn't have been (I'm talking
perhaps a hundred pixel level differences between frames where it should
have been static).  This probably causes the anim player more headaches
that it should have to put up with.  When DPaint V becomes available and
I can clean up the anim to eliminate these artifacts, it should go
faster.

At any rate, I reduced the animation to 320x400xHAM8 to increase speed
and reduce the anim size, and now I get 12 FPS for a 250 frame anim,
which is perfectly reasonable and looks pretty smooth.  And 320x400xHAM8
looks *way* better than any animation ever did on my 2000.  Comparing
HAM8 to HAM is kind of like comparing SVGA to CGA, or AmigaDos to
Windows :-).  Well, maybe not quite that much, but at least there is a
very big difference.

I also tried converting the same animation (which has a lot of smooth
color changes - its ray traced with Imagine) to 256 color register mode,
and the HAM8 version is, again, much nicer.  The 256 color version
either has severe banding, or obnoxious dithering - you get your choice
of evils, because there simply aren't enough colors to go around.  The
HAM8 one simply looks nicer on all accounts - ImageMaster reports that
most of the frames use around 1800 colors, and some up to 3500 colors.
