skip frames
« on: March 26, 2009, 05:40 PM »
Is it possible to skip every other frame in order to make the motions appear more "animated?"

just set the # of frames to print as half of the number of frames in the movie and it will do what you want:

does this software have the ability to place frames in random order?

Can i take any frame I want and place it anywhere?

no you can't move around the order of frames.
one thing that will probably be added in the future is the ability to use a directory full of still images -- when i do that i can add an option to show them in random order.

Heres another suggestion... if we can arrange the order of frames it might be possible to print on both sides of paper and have two videos back to back.. or part one on one side and part two on the other...   in other words
5 sheets of 10 frames per page right?
when its done printing  flip five sheets over and print on back side.
only caveat is say  .. a 5o fifty frame animation count 1-50 (normal) non stacked on front side

but the reverse side needs to count down frames  50 -1

so frame 1 is on top of card and frame 50 is on bottom side of card

theoretically it should work.. what do you think?

Did you write the source code? 
how much do you think needs to be donated to possibly kick off some of these enhancements?
