  • The Uses of Animation 1
    The Uses of Animation 1 1 The Uses of Animation ANIMATION Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape,digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced. Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. THE MOST COMMON USES OF ANIMATION Cartoons The most common use of animation, and perhaps the origin of it, is cartoons. Cartoons appear all the time on television and the cinema and can be used for entertainment, advertising, 2 Aspects of Animation: Steps to Learn Animated Cartoons presentations and many more applications that are only limited by the imagination of the designer. The most important factor about making cartoons on a computer is reusability and flexibility. The system that will actually do the animation needs to be such that all the actions that are going to be performed can be repeated easily, without much fuss from the side of the animator.

It primarily refers, of course, to film forms of “neomedievalism,” or cinematic remediation of medieval subject matter and literature. However, I hear in it, too, a film made in the Middle Ages, if that were possible, most resonantly in the title of the 2014 anthology The Medieval Motion Picture,1 as though illuminators were somehow bringing their illustrations to life within 1.

  • Virtualdubmod Help
    VirtualDubMod is a project that was born when suddenly a lot of modifications to the original VirtualDub by Avery Lee sprung up, mainly on the Doom9 forums. Some people got tired of needing several diffrent modified VirtualDub executables, so the idea arose to put them all together into a single app, VirtualDubMod. The founders were: VirtualDubOGM - Cyrius VirtualDubMPeg2 - Pulco-Citron VirtualDubAVS - Belgabor Extended features in VirtualDubMod 1.5.x Nb : VirtualDubMod now has a basic Unicode support. However this support is only available in Windows versions that handle it natively (2k/XP handle it). Win9x doesn't handle Unicode natively and so you won't have Unicode support in VirtualDubMod with this OS. This short documentation give you some information on the following subjects in VirtualDubMod 1.5.x : Preferences AVI Information Image formats Streams menu Multiple streams handling Comments and chapters handling Previewing and Saving Batch mode Miscellanea Preferences Since version 1.5.4.x VirtualDubMod also uses an extended tree list thanks to which you can access all its preferences. Depending on which kind of preference it is, clicking on an item in the tree will make appear a combo box or an edit box (optionally an icon to popup a file selector). For enabling / disabling preferences (checkbox / radio button) click on the checkbox or radio button. The default video mode (Direct stream copy, Fast recompress, Normal recompress, Full processing mode) in which VirtualDubMod starts can be changed in the Main preferences. The Display preferences let you choose to enable/disable by default the Display input video and Display output video of the Options menu.
