Title: ANI file creation

Right, now I refuse to believe everyone sits converting thier files down to 256 colour, .pcx, perfectly numbered files one by one so I would like to know of any software that helps make the process of rendering and converting a movie to .ani format.

I think there is something that would help you on the Robotech site. You put in a bunch of files, and it numbers them for you.

Right - a plan is forming. We can already batch convert file types in paint shop pro, right? So why not just download a batch converter for the colour depth, then use the robotech download to number the files?

I'm currently searching for a colour depth converter - go forth and join the quest...

Or you could use the batch conversion options on the excellent Ifran view (which you should have anyway as it's an excellent picture viewer - The thumbnail option is brilliant for looking through my texture drawer).

A google search will find you the link
