Bob – can't help you with off-the-shelf ideas, but I can think of some potential problems to consider: 1. Are they the same resolution? (320 HAM, 640 two color, etc). 2. Their palettes will have to be combined. Perhaps conversion to HAM on both would help here if the mismatch is large. If you could snap out each frame (for both files) to disk, and then bring each one in and shrink them down… saving that new frame to disk.. and then making a new anim from those new frames, that might work well. Except: 3. Are they compatible as far as frame count goes? You might have to make a longer combined anim which is the least common factor count for both. If one had 5 frames, and the other had 4, you'd need 20 frames to make a good loop for both, y'see. Assuming that these are looping anims, that is. – kev
