Short: MPEG sequence done on Amiga Author: Processed by G.H. Kuiper (rcflipp@dds.nl) Uploader: rcflipp dds nl Type: pix/anim Architecture: generic This is my first attempt to create an MPEG-animation. The ani- mation consists of 35 frames, showing the well known Zapruder footage. For people who are not familiar with this VERY famous piece of 8mm film: It was filmed on November 22nd, 1963 in Dallas, Texas, and shows the assassination of president John F. Kennedy. The frames were grabbed using a VLAB frame grabber (by the way: the software supplied with the VLAB really SUCKS!) and converted using ADPro v2.5. Then they were MPEG encoded with Scott Tribbey's (howdy, Scott!) excellent EasyMPEG utility available from Aminet. (plug, plug) I know it's not a very good quality animation, but that is the fault of that really dumb piece of software called VLAB Sequencer. It grabs pictures at an irregular interval and is very motion sensitive, i.e. motion blurring and striping. Who can tell me how this can be avoided? I will try to create some better (and more!) grabs in the future to create a smoother animation, but don't wait for it! G.H. Kuiper from L.O.D.G.E. ---------------------------
