ABOUT FAST MOVIE PROCESSOR

  This program's purpose is to convert and process image sequences and
  movies. While converting it can apply many image filters and operations
  like emboss, brightness, contrast, gamma correction, blur, sharpen,
  mirror and others.

  Program utilizes a list of operations that are to be performed on each
  frame of the movie, thus if you need to apply saturation, followed by
  grayscale and resample you can do it in only one step.

  - it is free for non-commercial use

supported),
    GIF save is not implemented because LZW compression algorithm is
patented

  - added DIB/BMP/RLE 32k colors image load and save
  - fixed many bugs (mostly about AVI)

SOME INFO ABOUT HAV FORMAT

  HAV is our own video format made for real-time playing and archiving
  of high-quality video. It does not support audio (for now), but it is
  great to store and play rendered animations. This format keeps the
  original image quality (uses lossless compression). Other famous
  formats, like AVI, JPEG and MPEG reduce the image quality each time
  you save the image (more times you save, more quality you loose).
  HAV compresses at least twice as good as FLI/FLC and supports 256,
  64k and 16.7M colors (FLI/FLC supports only up to 256 colors).
