#New guy & Pro?
I am new to this so please forgive me if I don't phrase the question exactly
right. I do believe that I want to but Animator Pro. It is suppose to be the
best out here. So here are my questions. I have created a series of shows in
the world of 2d At 640×480 256 color. These shows consist of still images and
screen movements l like objects moving about the screen. Also human like
figures. The problem I am now having is that they are dos based only and since
windows is now taking over the world I need to move on. So! 1) Can I convert my
existing images (pcx,gif,etc inot a format that Pro can use. 2) I have as
indicated created a series of animations ( I have the indv. images saved) in
the same formats. They are combined into a single file whihc saves only the
screen differences and then when called plays them back. Is their a way I can
convert these images so that Pro can play them along with the other images I
created.? 3) I assume I can use it in windows so that I can take advantage of
the windows video drivers. And does pro come with a way in which I can play it
in dos as well. By the way when I load the program will it from dos play as
well? 4) I am able in the current 2d program I use create a single EXE file
whihc contains all the files and commands so all I end up loading is a single
file. Will Pro allow the same thing? 5) I send out my programs to other folks
so does it contain a run time version (Standalone)? 6) Finally is their any
special language I need to know or learn in order to start to use this program.
I learn fairly quickly but I need to finish something quickly. So I want to do
a quick and dirty in the short run then my typical elegant stuff. I really
appreciate the help. If I can accomplish this then I need to now where to call
to get the package ASAP. I live in the 510 area. By the way what is the cost
for this program? I hope it does not rival the national debt! The 510 area code
being in the Livermore, Dublin, Pleasanton etc. Area in Northern Cal. I do
believe that you are in San Rafael in that nice looking building on the East
side of the freeway. Thanks again for you help on this. I guess I have to grow
up and join the new world and big boys with the Auotdesk Programs. ray
