AniPro VTR control POCO

FLITAPE will record a FLiC one frame at a time, and provides some control
such as head, tail, looping, very limited scaling, etc.
POCO is built-into Animator Pro. It's a C-like language, and you can get a
manual for it from Autodesk. The only POCO program I've written so far is one
that takes any .FLC and re-renders it to fields. Works like a charm, too, and
it's less than one screenfull of code!

Sounds like a fun routine! Interested in sharing it with the ASOFT group?

I'll have to ask my boss if he's willing to give away what he considers one
of our "secret weapons." 🙂
It's pretty nice, if I do say so myself. For instance, I can use JOIN
between a white and a black FLiC to make an Iris Open transition, then do a few
Apply Inks with UnZag and Soften inks (with a 256-level gray palette) to soften
the Iris boundary hole, then Fieldize it with my POCO routine, and use the
result in Video Post as an Image Transition. The result looks every bit as
smooth as if I had used a DVE box to do the transition, due in no small part to
the fact that it's Fieldized.
Sounds like a great use of the programs!
