How does one go about making an animation from several pictures from DKBTrace? I tried the movie.lzh from ab20, but the 'dilbm' program doesn't seem to work. It outputs difference files that are empty! So what program do you guys use? Thanks a lot! Brian

For making DKB anims, I use Cryo-Tools ANIMBuild... it allows you to have different palettes in each image. Director 2.0 also allows you to use different palettes in each image. If you are using Dumptoiff to convert from DKB format to iff then you need to have a palette switching anim maker. Dumptoiff doesn't use the same palettes for similar dkb files. Not to knock on it, it just wasn't designed for anims..... Jay R. Reher

If you use the -pfilename option, the program will output the palette file that it produced. You can then use this file for the remaining pictures in the animation. eg. dumptioff -ppalette frame1.dis frame1.iff dumptoiff frame2.dis frame2.iff palette ... David Buck dbuck@ccs.carleton.ca
