Use ConvertToMovie to combine the 16 images into a 16 frame QuickTime Movie. Open the ConvertToMovie application. From the dialog box, select the first PICT file to be part of the movie, i.e., Picture 1. The program will add each PICT file, in sequence, until it reaches the last file that is specified. A Compression Setting dialog will appear.
Compressors affect file size, playback speed and image quality.
It is not essential to compress the movie, but if you choose to do so, Apple Video produces the best results on both Macintosh and Windows computers. A Conversion Options dialog will appear. You must also do this if you want to put the movie into an HTML file on the Internet. If it is necessary to crop out any of the movie, the option for this is in this dialog box. When cropping, use multiples of 4 when you designate the number of pixels wide and high.
