Hi all,

I'm making an animation with a friend. I'm doing the povray work and he
makes the animation of the seperate frames. But for testing the .pov
files, I like to see some sort of animation. Does anyone know a
slideshow player for Linux or something equal?

Thank you in advance,

Remco Poelstra

animate is part of the ImageMagick package:

I am not sure this is what you are looking for but it is worth a little
investigation - http://heroine.linuxbox.com/bcast2000.html

Well Ken, bcast2000 is a bit of an overkill here?
It's a realtime video editing tool. This means you can edit and infeed
video stream the moment it runs. It's very professional and in this case
also very free!! :-)

Maybe a little tiny bit.

With Image Magic go into the directory where your images are 
and type:

display -delay 50 *.png

where 50 is the 100ths of a second that you want to wait between
images.

I used Cpic for years until I found PSP :)

I use animate to quickly preview how an animation is going before I go
to the trouble of creating the Mpg.
I found that the best format to use from pov is ppm.
So to use it use

animate -delay 10 *.ppm where the delay is in 100ths of a second. Once
the frames are being played, there are commands you can use to slow down
the playing, speed it up, pause etc.

If I remember correctly, use the left (or was it the right) mouse button
to get a list of the commands that can be used.

Cheers Fran
