Is there any way to convert a 320X200 animation to 640X480, so that the animation will play full screen when runing at the higher resolution? I am preparing an animation at the lower resolution for someone to incorporate into a AuthorWare Professional for Windows project, which they are running at 640X480. Since the animation I have designed involves a planet that rotates full-screen, I don't think this will work very well if I rendered it at 640X480, without being jerky. Nobody seems to know a way to run the animation at full-screen under AWP, so now I'm looking into ways of converting the animation. If I pull the lower-res flic into AAPro, and try to expand it with EFFECTS, the animation will expand, but only within the 320X200 window. It doesn't go full screen. Although I have AutoDesk Animator Pro, I have stuck mostly to 320X200 animations, because it seems that computers are still not fast enough to run full-screen hi-res animations. I thought that hi-res work was mostly for stillls or for frame-to-frame video tape recording. I have a 486DX2/66 with 8M RAM, VL-Bus, and 1M Paradise graphics accelerator card. I'm not sure what kind of computer my friend has. Any and all advice and comments would be appreciated.
