Dear ASDG, I am new to the world of animation so forigive me if my questions are dumb. I have been able to make a composite fade series of cells, but I can't figure out how to combine them as one anim. I know there is a save as anim script, but I got "no image rendered" messages. What am I doing wroing? Also what are the correct settings for a DPaint animation? Also, Is it possible to do a series of processes, each one building on the previous one? For instance I would look to do successive scalings so as to simulate a camera zooming in on an object. Or succesive collapses so that a logo gradually distorts. Finally, can you reccomend any good books on the subject. Thanks in advance for your help, Noam Dworman

There is an 'Invoke ADPro' menu itme in fred which will produce a requestor where you can select a series of rexx scipts (called FREDScripts) to perform different operations. A typical script list would look like this: ScaleToSize.fred RenderAsDefined.fred SaveAsAnim.fred This particular example would resize an image to user specifications, render it to a selected screen, and save it to a user-sepcified anim file.

Chris, can I jump in here, please. I just received the new AdPro upgrade. Serial number was enclosed on a yellow piece of paper with a notice, but there was no registration card enclosed. Is the upgrade automatically registered, since I received the upgrade streight from ASDG? can you advise please. thanks, george

You were re-registered automatically when your upgrade order was taken.

Thanks for your prompt reply. Still, I don't quite get it. Can I do succesive scalings this way? Also, will Fred and frames to an anim one at a time, or do they have to be combined somewhere else?

Fred will put frames into an anim file one at a time (no other combining necessary. ScaleToSize.fred will allow the user at the beginning of a process to specify a size for ALL frames to be scaled to.
