1) Replaying a movie from a stored .PG7 file:
• | Open a .PG7 file from the "View | View File" menu. |
• | You can use the "View | Frame Delay" menu item to set the delay between frames (default 500 ms). |
• | Double-click to maximize a selected frame in the thumbnail display |
• | Click "View | Movie" to replay all the instances of the selected frame. |
• | Click "View | Restart" whenever you wish to begin a new replay, to move the reader to the beginning of the file. |
2) Exporting a Movie from a stored .PG7 file to graphic files on disk:
• | Open a .PG7 file from the "View | View File" menu. |
• | Double-click a thumbnail to maximize a selected frame. |
• | Click "View | Export Movie". This will bring up a selection dialog to set the export parameters. |
• | The selected frame will be scanned as for Movie, and all files will be written according to the selected parameters. |
• | Use JASC AnimationShop to assemble the individual files into a GIF animation. |
• | Use GIF2SWF or other conversion program to create Flash animations. |
