Project update
The video is finished and was sent in to the hplff. I hope they like it.
while I was doing verses 3 and 4, I changed the method I was using to produce the clips so that most of the conversion from the frames made with the paint program and getting to the point of being able to import them to my video program was a bit more streamlined.
The method I used to do the original two verses were really labor intensive. For each frame that I would put into a clip, one scene, I had to convert the 8 bit Amiga IFF animation frames, made with Personal Paint, to 24 bit Amiga IFF animations. I used Perfect Paint to split each of the frames into a directory for the scene I was working on. I then had to crate the 24 bit animation from these frames by making a clip of the same length of the scene and import the 8 bit frames, one frame at a time, into the frame that it should go into, for each frame. Luckily, Personal Paint did the splitting of the frames in a numbered sequence so that I could keep track of which frame got imported into the current frame of the animation. Once I finished this process, I had a 24 bit Amiga IFF animation that I could convert into a QuickTime movie (.mov) so that it could be used in the video program.
The other method was very easy, I started out doing the frames in Personal Paint and the saved the 8 bit animations, just like the other way, but once I had the 8 bit animations done and broughten into Personal Paint, I save the animation as a animated GIF. I then used InraView to split the animGIF into BMP files, in separate directories per clip. After this, I had a directory that had each frame numbers consecutively as BMP and the used VirtDUB to automatically import the BMP frames and save them as AVI clips. Since I did not had to go through the process of dealing with each of the frame separately but the the programs do the fiddle work for me, I was able the get the last to verses done very quickly.
I also add backgrounds where needed and changed the skin tones an bit.
Once I had all of the clips done and added to the sound track, using ShowBiz 2, I was able to save the resulting music video in several formats: .AVI, .WMV and .MPEG. I also burned DVDs using ShowBiz 2.
