DESCRIPTION
flip is a simple 'flipbook' for previewing TIFF animations. It requires large amounts of memory to be useful (a machine w/ 256MB, can load ~500 320x240 frames without hitting swap). Frames can be scaled on load to use less memory.
flip is also a convinient front end to the MPEG-1 encoder "mpeg_encode". http://bmrc.berkeley.edu/frame/research/mpeg/mpeg_encode.html http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=mpeg_encode&submit=Search+...
COMPILATION
flip requires the following:
- Qt 2.2.x or greater (http://www.trolltech.com)
- libtiff (ftp://ftp.sgi.com/graphics/tiff)
If Qt and libtiff are correctly installed, you should be able to just type 'make'. Otherwise, you'll have to edit the Makefile.
A tmake(http://www.troll.no/freebies/tmake.html) project file is included if you want to compile flip for a platform besides Linux.
The following are optional:
USAGE
flip should be fairly self-explanatory.
It requires that the last 4 characters in the filename the numerical sequence, i.e. xxx0000.tif, xxx0001.tif, xxx0002.tif, etc.
You can set the in and out points of the loop by clicking and dragging over the LED style numbers.
To interrupt flip while loading a TIFF sequence, hit the 'stop' (square) button.
