#Forcing a palette

I have a situation where I need to go through quite a few animations and change the palette color of each frame. I've gone into the first frame and darkened the specific colors, then save the palette, but then I have to go into each following frame and load the palette, each time. Is there a better way to do this. I know about making one palette over a duration of frames, but this is not what I want. I want to force one palette into all frames automatically. I have looked in the reference manual, but don't see a solution. -James Franssen

Go to the first frame, use the Palette dialogue, use Cluster/Get Cluster and highlight all 256 registers, then use Value/Cut (bufers the palette). Now toggle "T" (time) and use Value/Paste option over "ALL". If the "FIT" toggle is one, cllosest approximations of previous palette will be treated, otherwise you get a pure substitution. Try either. -dave
