Why don't you go back and look instead of compounding the frustration. Presumably you can follow back a thread just a easily as anyone else.
The Dave I responded to is at NAAUG — if you bothered to follow back the message trail you'll see what happened, instead of trying to blame me for the lack of communication.
Pay attention — the information WAS POSTED TO "DAVE" in direct reply to his question on ID 73204,3522, May 23. I replied with the requested information and got no response after over 2 weeks.
That previous information was supplied in answer to "Dave" after I asked whether Ani Studio plays faster in Windows than Ani Pro. Why did he not respond? Is he only able to give the typical shallow resonses usually found on this virtually useless forum?
That was a reply to "Dave" — why no answer?
Typical values for some 2-minute animations are: FLC: 10 to 20 MB total over about 2,000 frames, average delta or frame update values on the order of 5 to 10 KB, playing fullscreen smoothly in DOS at 640×480 at 15 fps. WAV: Corresponding 8-bit soundtrack uncompressed at about 5 MB.…
Thanks. I'd really like to see some of those examples. Can you give me some URLs for sites that have FLC & WAV files to view or download?
#Ani Studio price?
Message #171073
What is the current price for Animator Studio? It was suggested by "NAAUG" (whatever that is) that I ask you. I have Animator Pro 1.3.
#AniStudio playback
Message #171070
Does Animator Studio play sound flicks smoother and faster in Windows than does the Windows Player using .FLC and .WAV files with a script?
#MPEG from FLCs
Message #171069
Would mpeg compression of fullscreen flic files result in any significant compression, given how compressed flics are already? And how would the quality look? And the size? I'm considering this option in order to put my animation with sound onto the Web, and mpeg seems to be the method of…
AniStudio mpeg output?
Message #171068
I am planning to put my flic files, which have sync .wav soundtracks, onto a WWW home page. Is anyone producing a Windows DLL that will allow AniStudio to output animation and sound together as MPEG files?
My god! This Animator Studio thing is exactly what I need! I've been producing a lot of animations with soundtracks, using Animator Pro, but getting sync sound from wav files onto the videotape audio track (or playing in the windows player) has been hellish. How do I upgrade from AniPro?…
Hey, thanks for the workaround idea. It's quite a pleasure to receive a useful response.
Dave — I'm combining the pallettes of different frames in a single flic, and I do everything the same way you describe. I hope you have some "quick tricks" to tell me about, otherwise I guess this is just another of the many AniPro bugs that only occur on my…
#Ornery AniPro
Message #141120
Seems to be becoming a pet peeve. I frequently combine various images for an animation and spend a lot of time combining the pallettes. One of the things that eats up a lot of unneccessary time is that when you make all frames in a flic "one pallette", it usually…
PhotoCD with AniPro
Message #132700
If you'd like to see the use of a painting digitized by photographing it and putting it onto Kodak's PhotoCD for conversion and importing into Animator Pro, check out my 1.3 MB zip file in the Animations library (just uploaded it) — Archrivl.zip. The animation reveals an interesting illusion based…
#Yost Group, Adesk Univ.
Message #130934
Many months ago I entered the Autodesk University Image and Animation Contest by sending a VHS videotape of an extensive Animator Pro animation recorded in real time (along with the 20 MB flic and 8 MB sound file and script for playing in real time full screen 640 on computer).…
fees for animating (?)
Message #123936
How much is reasonable to expect to make as a 2D animator or designer for CD-ROM title development companies?
I also would like to hear any replies to your question. In my case, I am considering a job offer in Canada at a CD-ROM creation and system-integration company as a 2D animator. As a senior tecnical writer I make $30/hr (on contract), and I have heard that $50/hr (this…
#Contest winners
Message #123932
Does anyone know when the winners of the upcoming Second Annual Autodesk International Image and Animation Contest '94 will be announced? And where the announcement will appear? (the entry deadline was August 1st)
I can't tell what the source of the confusion is, but I was not talking about video output, which I already do. Also, video transfered to film is limited to about 300 lines. I want to do 1024 by 768 pixels per frame, which would be a total of 786K…
Please let me know about the Canadian film recording service — I live in Vancouver, B.C. I'm most interested in analog recorders, not super high res SGI stuff. In fact I'm wondering about buying one of those, but no idea of the cost. (Especially something that can record from flics,…
Film Recording
Message #114867
I was in fact talking about movie film recording, not slides. Re-read the information.
How to record to film?

Thanks a lot!
How to record to film?
Message #96944
Does anyone know of a service that has a film recorder to record a FLC onto movie film???
Film Recording Service
Message #95798
Does anyone know of a service bureau in California, Oregon, or Washington that can output a 1024×768 .FLC to a 16-mm film recorder?
