#POCO for 5.5 jiffies
6 messages in this thread
Does anybody know of a POCO routine that will set the speed of a FLC to a rate
between the whole numbers? 5 jiffies is 14 frames per second (or so) and 6
jiffies is probably around 16 fps, so 15 fps must lie in the decimals
somewhere. It also needs to go in an actually write this number into the file
so that the information is retained when the flic is brought into Premeire for
Windows.
Thanks!

How are you planning to extract/embed the frame
rate into the flic?

Dave,
try this POCO routine:
main()
{
int frame_count;
frame_count=GetFrameCount() * 1000;
SetSpeed(66);
PlayFlic(frame_count);
}
Adjust the SetSpeed value until you get the frame rate you need for you system.
66 equals 15fps on my 486/50dx2 ISA with a Tseng4000. It's more exact than
jiffies.
Dave,
I just re-read the rest of your message and there's no way (I know of) to write
that into the .flc file. You might do better converting your .flc files to .avi
with video for windows.

The reason I need the jiffie setting between 5 and 6 is so it will
compile into an AVI movie correctly. I've been moving Flics into
Premiere, and 5 jiffies corresponds to 14 fps (and 6 is probably
around 16 fps). The problem comes in that the AVI movie then has 1
repeated frame for every 15 frames, causing slight delays every
second. This problem can be overcome, but it would be easier to fix
it in Anipro itself.
thanks anyway!

Dave,
looks like a workaround is necessary.
