Hello Andrey,
In a message dated 12 Mar 97 you wrote to me :
AK> Has Autodesk Animator been canceled yet?
It seems like no one remembered about it...
Good Luck...
... Excuse me for butting in, but I'm interrupt-driven.

What if they didn’t know about him? Like me, for example:( In general, there is such a desire:
Maybe someone will write a Faq on subj?
Or at least just everyone who converted with acceptable quality (and who is not lazy)
will write at least briefly what they used.
Bye, Vladimir :)

I don’t know how it will be suitable for this purpose.
The only acceptable (IMHO) tool is Adobe PhotoShop 4.xx, where
it is possible to set a macro and then apply it to any number of
pictures.
How to do it:
1. Load one picture, typical for this animation.
2. Select Windows/Action
3.Press the _record_ button (red circle)
4.Next, perform the sequence of conversion actions (see 1st letter
on subzh)
5. When finished, press the _stop_ button and collapse the resulting macro into one
line.
6. Then simply load all the animation pictures, and apply the
button to each _play_, after which you save them all.
Of course, all this can be done manually, but it’s very confusing.
With warm greetings, Slava.
