Short: 32 colour anim by Carmen Rizzolo. 3 objs with panel effects Architecture: generic ** ANNOUNCING: The Video Panel Machine ** An image/animation utility Arexx script for OpalPaint v2.x By Carmen Rizzolo The animation in this archive was rendered in Imagine, and processed in OpalPaint v2.1 using THE VIDEO PANEL MACHINE. The Video Panel Machine takes your images and animations [series of images] and adds "panels" to them. The panels give a zoomed in or zoomed out representation on the image information behind it. This effect is frequently used lately in commercials and music videos. As you can see by the animation, it's a very nifty effect when the subject is moving. ---- Features: * Rectangular panels that 'zoom' the image information behind it * Spheres that 'refract' the image information behind it * Custom shapes [defined by 2-colour or OpalPaint brushes] such as logos * Chroma distortion at definable intensities * Brightness and/or Darkness distortion at definable intensities * Greyscale effect on panels and/or on the background (Colour panels on a black and white background is a very classy effect) * Mosaic distortion on panels and/or the background * Animation "staggering" effect for the panels or the background (as shown in the greyscale panel in the animation) at definable frame step rates. * Draw your panels directly on a frame to place them * Saves project files in ASCII text format. Different animations (at the same resolution) can share the same project file. Project files can be edited. * The option of using an alternate image or animation for the background Carmen Rizzolo - Crazed Artist CarmenR@cup.portal.com
