Just wanted to echo Stefan's and Jason's excitement and "Thank You" to Todd for getting this set up for us. Now it's time to generate some animated action. Anyone with suggestions or updates for this newsgroup's front page, feel free drop me a line. (...) (22 years ago, 5-May-03, to lugnet.animation)

Gald to see an animation topic right off the main Lugnet group! Thanks to Todd and Greg, and Stefan, and whoever else we might thank. Big smile, Jason Rowoldt (22 years ago, 5-May-03, to lugnet.animation)

Out of the dark corners of .publish.cinema, into the light of .animation! Thank you, Todd, for moving us here. I hope more people will notice us and start posting here, and that people who are already into animation will find us more easily. At (...) (22 years ago, 5-May-03, to lugnet.animation)

| | Animation & Sports group rename
|
|
Today I'm going to tackle the renaming of lugnet.publish.cinema to lugnet.animation and lugnet.football to lugnet.sports. This transformation will basically go in 4 steps: 1. First the old groups will be disabled, so that no new posts can be made. (...) (22 years ago, 4-May-03, to lugnet.animation, lugnet.sports, lugnet.admin.nntp)

There is a free program called Videomach that most of us animators have found very useful for most of our conversion needs.

Hello Todd, (...) Just to add to the possibilities already suggested by others, QuickTime Pro can also do it: - Make sure the images all have the same name and are numbered in sequence - Open QuickTime Player - File -> Open Image Sequence (or (...)

(...) I can't speak about iMovie, but iPhoto can do what you are asking.

Try QuickMovie 1.5. It's OS X Ready, and I believe does everything you're asking. It's shareware and quite easy to use. I'm pretty sure it can do 1000 frames at a time, and it might be able to do all 2000 in one go. Otherwise, just make two movies (...) (22 years ago, 19-Apr-03, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.animation)

I'm taking a 2000-frame (80 seconds) time-lapse movie today of the PNLTC layout at the Oregon Convention Center. What's a good way to take a whole bunch of frames and string them together into an MPEG movie? The source images, once I get them off my (...)

I never made them to be competitive, yet still I'd like to share. So can we have (...) (22 years ago, 5-Apr-03, to lugnet.animation)
