Lee, I am a PAR user… Yes ADPro 2.5 does read PAR Motion-JPEG, one frame at a time. You can then modify to your hearts content. There is a freeware front end program call PAR Processor that does batch with PAR & ADPro ( I have seen it but have…
#PAR and ADPro
Message #100167
I'm going to be using a PAR board and a TBC IV to capture video on the Amiga. I then want to process all of the video using ADPro, load it back onto the PAR, and then out to tape. Can ADPro load PAR animations a frame at a time,…
If you mean from the begining, I had installed ADPro version 2.0.3 (I think that is the right number) first, then bought the MorphPlus package and installed it sometime later. After that I bought the upgrade to ADPro, 2.5, and installed it. After having the problem with Morph020 I re-installed…
Steve, The IFF ILBM format is indeed limited to 24 bit-planes. However, IFF covers more than just bitplane images, although to many people it is synonymous with InterLeaved BitMaps. The DEEP variant was developed by Tecsoft (for TVPaint) and ACS (producers of the Harlequin 32 bit RGBA graphics card) as…
In what oder did you install the two program? i.e which one got installed first? Chris Edgin ERI tech.
Yes I reinstalled the software and I do have ADPro 2.5. Jim R. Ollick on a Warped 4000/040/40 Using AP 1.75 from Bergenfield, NJ
Martin, ? I thought IFF was limited to 24 bit plane. Besides, how do you save an alpha with an IFF image? How do other programs deal with this? ER wants me to send them my "offending" PICT file, which I will do next week. The image comes from Photoshop…
Just for your information, my IFF Deep loader supports 32 bit RGB+Alpha images, and works just fine with the "Use incoming Alpha" option. In fact it works fine in every mode except for "Load as Alpha", because of an apparent BUG in ADPro! However, despite mentioning this BUG a few…
That IS stange (:-/ Have you attempted to reinstall and do you also have ADPro? Chris Edgin ERI tech.
Sorry, I may not have been clear enough but both versions come up with message about not enough chip memory when launched from my hard drive. If I run them from a floppie disk (the original disks), I have no trouble. Jim R. Ollick on a Warped 4000/040/40 Using AP…
Well, I cannot say woth any certainty what might me cause the 68k version to complain about chip memory when the 020 version does not. I will havce to confer w/ the programmers to get any sort of answer about that. Chris edgin ERI tech.
I am having a problem loading Morph and Morph.020. I have them in the same drawer as ADPro 2.5. When I click on the icon, the program starts to load and I get a window with the following in it "LOW ON CHIP MEMORY" and the program fails to load.…

I can repost the listing, no problem. As far as equipment is concerned, we have records that show what we own and what stuff is loaned.] I must strongly remind you and any that might be reading this thread that we are not selling loaner equipment, nor have we sold…
Alpha support for PICT should be working. Could you e-,ail this partticular image so we can see if theie are any peculiar elements to it? Chris Edgin ERI tech.
Gads, we would not be selling loaners!!! The stuff being sold is paid property of ASDG/Elastic Reality. Chris Edgin ERI tech.
#Alpha channels (again?)
Message #99619
I'm having trouble bringing a 32 bit PICT with alpha channel into ADPro. When I bring it in, in REPLACE mode, the colors are rotated, indicating the alpha channel is there. When I try to compose the image into another, the "ALPHA ONLY" box is ghosted and there is no…
#Amiga sale Update#2
Message #99189
I'll bid $100 for a used Ethernet card, and $75 each for the two 1084s. And if any of those Amiga companies gave you this equipment for testing with AD Pro, why are you selling it instead of giving it back to them?
Greg, You could render out a Toaster anim through LW from the series of images. It would be quite easy to set the morph images to an image sequence, then use the morph sequence as a background image. Then render out an anim. Play the anim back through the Switcher.…

Dear ERI: Quite sometime ago I received a mailing regarding upgrading CED to v 3.5, at the time I accidentally threw away the both the mailing and return envelops. Thus, I had the order sheet but no peel-off label or return envelop, so I just forgot about it. However, I…

Thanks for the quick response, on Christmas Eve no less. Since I've got your ear, maybe you can help with a problem. When I load TRexxPro I consistently get an error trying to execute the script. In the past I was able to reload the software, and the problem disappeared.…
Did you install & verify that the included newer version of adpro.library that came in ther archive was running? The new PS savere will not operate correctly w/o ot. Chris Edgin ERI Tech.
Hank, Rumors about phasing out our Amiga products are untrue. The restriction of Amiga technical support hours is due to the overwhelming number of customers of other (defunct) companys calling us for support for products we have nothing to do with. Our offering of free, competent, and qualified technical support…

Message #97677
The postscript saver you uploaded on August 2nd is still very broken. It still pays no attention to the values I enter for screen density. Also, ADPro doesn't want to print to the proper aspect ratio. It's not using the proper aspect ratio for 320×400 interlaced ham pictures. Half of…

Load-As-Alpha bug
Message #97474
Re: ADPro Load-As-Alpha compositing bug Chris, Have you (or anyone at ERI) discovered (and perhaps fixed?) the bug in the As-Alpha loader options. It occurs when the image being loaded is 24bit (ImageType = FULLCOLOUR) and the DataType = DT_CHUNKY_I. This is the format I use in my IFF DEEP…

ProControl
Message #95785
I downloaded a demo of ProControl to use with ADpro 2.5 and Sentry. When I use the Arex script for Sentry to send file names to ProControl and initiate the script ProControl allways asks for files to load, instead of getting them from Sentry. Is there a fix for that.…
Brian, I'll give that a try. BTW, I had some communications with VMEM authors and was told the GVP card is a problem card they are aware of and hope to have a version that works with it soon. Thanks for your help and suggestions. wmc – via Autopilot!
Wayne, I have both caches active here as well as FASTROM, so I don't think those are a problem. However, I don't have MoveSSP running here, so I'd recommend trying to run it without that running first.
Are you using Windows NT? Chris Edgin ERI Tech.
Opps, just found stray old Library file in savers2 which was causing problem. How it got there is a mystery…I was changing HDs so maybe… Anyway all is well. Now I ONLY have to boot with a disk in my CD ROM dr. & do a "cpu nodatacache" and I…
