It's been awhile, so I hesitate to jump in here, but… First off, you could have used AniPro to convert the image to grayscale. Next, you need to arrange your palette in luminance order so that the "colors" will cycle logically. I suspect you can do this with Luma Sort. What I'd probably do is a Luma Sort with Fit turned on, and then I'd ramp the entire palette to create a smooth grayscale. Finally, I'd use Squeeze to get the palette down to the number of frames you want for your animation (30?). Now that your palette is ready, create 30 identical frames and RIGHT-click on the [C] button to proceed with the color cycling. (See page 4-25 of the AniPro Ref. Manual for stuff about color cycling. Don't miss the small paragraph following the numbered steps.) Caveat: I haven't tried out any of the above, so you might have to punt. – Jack
