|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Some notes:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Animation may be up to 338 frames. This will take a longer or shorter
|
|||
|
|
time, depending on the frame rate setting. A 338 frame movie with a
|
|||
|
|
faster frame rate will play more quickly than the same movie with a
|
|||
|
|
lower frame rate.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A longer movie may be made by stringing finished animations back to
|
|||
|
|
back. To do this, use the auto play side of MOVIE MAKER and make a
|
|||
|
|
copy with COPYA. Then delete all the files from this copy except for
|
|||
|
|
CNTDWN.INI and MAINAP, and put your Movie Maker files on this disk
|
|||
|
|
(use FID from your system master disk). NOTE THAT THE FILES
|
|||
|
|
CNTDWN.INI AND MAINAP MUST REMAIN ON THE DISK. When the disk is
|
|||
|
|
booted, it will automatically play your movies (the MVM files) in the
|
|||
|
|
order you copied them onto the disk.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Also, if you have two (2) drives, leave the Movie Maker disk in drive
|
|||
|
|
1, and have a data disk (formatted) in drive 2. Now change drive
|
|||
|
|
assignment by selecting COMPOSE from the main menu, and them RECORD,
|
|||
|
|
or SMOOTH utility menus. Move the inverse bar to SELECT DRIVE, and
|
|||
|
|
press RETURN.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
After you have created a movie, you may save it by getting to the
|
|||
|
|
main menu (use the U command). Then select COMPOSE, and move the
|
|||
|
|
inverse bar to KEEP FILE. Put a blank formatted disk in the proper
|
|||
|
|
drive, and press RETURN. You will be prompted for a filename.
