I have this little job that I am doing for a non-profit outfit in town here and I need to be able to load and fade between a series of 7 or 8 framestores in 30 seconds, direct to tape. In other words, fade up from black to DV1, fade to DV2, load next framestore, fade to DV1, etc. Is there any way to do this? Is this one of the tricks of Trexx?

The best bet to do this is to COPY all of these framestores into a Ram:Framestore directory (if you have enough ram) they will load very quickly, and you can either do it manually or with a program like TRexx. If not in ram, it will take approx 3 seconds to load each framestore and you may run out of time. JG

John thanks for the further help. I have 16 megs of ram, so I should be okay. I think my fingers are too fumble prone to load and fade all this manually. Also thanks for advice on the accelerator.

T-Rexx will do this trivially.

>T-Rexx will do this trivially. Okay, but I wish that it would take the job more seriously <g>.
