I just created a short (13 frame) MOV file from Bryce and it's created the MOV file and a MOV#RES file. I can't run the MOV without the RES file being in the same directory. Says the MOV isn't a format that quicktime likes. It's quicktime 6.5.1 I just uploaded the MOV to the net and when I try to run it, I get a broken movie icon. WHY?! AND has anyone got any apps to convert a MOV or AVI to GIF? Not a thing I often do, so shareware would be perfect.

OK, I've worked out how to create an animated gif. I export from Bryce as a BMP range and use imageready. Should have realised that. Still not sure why the MOV doesn't work, but not so bothered now. Thanks

I've always wondered about the mov#res files.

You could output as an avi....

See DB, you should have just gone to Zhann The Forum Queen from the get go and you could have avoind all this. (and if Woody would have gone straight to the police, this would never have happened)

Yeah, but the MOV was 200k and the AVI was 6 meg. (AlthoughI didn't play with compression settings, so maybe could have got it down) BUT the BMP worked great and only 200k gif.

You can also load a range of images as layers into Photoshop and export as gif. Takes a while, but it works.

That's kinda what I did. But used image ready. You can open a folder as frames and it loads each BMP in the folder into a separate frame and then use save as GIF. Totally automatic.

You can also use Flash Image Builder @ $24.95 to convert Bryce avi's to .swf

Thanks for the link, yeah the 25sec avi I did came out to 50megs! I also found my version of PSP has an animation lab included, handy....

hmnnnnn...have to say that those gif animations look more useful than swf. I got locked into thinking along swf lines because of using Atmosphere - it can use swfs as texture. But for uploading to webpages gif definitely looks more useful.
