Anyone, I have a flic of a camera's view, where the camera is moving down a road. I set the resolution to 800 x 200, so on my 320 x 200 screen in Animator Pro, I will be able to move (or sort of pan) left and right. Is there any way I can, somewhat easily, create a custom flic in Animator Pro to go left and right. When I say custom, I mean, for instance, at frames 12 thru 18 I will pan to left, and from frames 19 thru 30, I will pan from left all the way to the right, and so on. Any help appreciated. Thanks!!! Mike C.

You can create a panning flic in the AniConvert program using the Slide command. Take a look at the Utilities User's Guide, page 2-12. – Jack

There are a couple of ways to do this. 1. Load you original animation (800 by 200). 2. Go into Optics and animate the flic just like you would animate a cel. (Make sure you have FLIC chosen to animate – not CEL) (but FLIC is the default) or 1. Load the flic 2. Capture the flic as an animated cel (Time on-Cel clip) 3. Go into Optics and animate this animated cel (with CEL chosen) or Go into Anim cel (Cel-Anim cel…) and paste the frames this way. The prefered way would be the first example. Make sure that when you render the SEGMENT from frames 12 thru 18 (to pan to the left) you then clic on CONTINUE so the next segment (frames 19 thru 30) can be rendered (to pan to the right) from that point on! Hopes this helps you out, I am not at my computer right now so this is from memory…if you run into trouble give me a shout and I will get more detailed. -Ralph Frantz
