Atari 8-bit Animation Program?

[DerekAutista]

What is the program to make animations from KoalaPad Pictures for Atari 8-bit??

Hmmm,

 

I guess its Movie Maker by Reston (later by Electronic Arts).

Alternatively,

 

you may use one of the old Micropainter (62 sector) or Koala animators for 3-5 pictures. Attached are some examples:

 

a) AlienAni, Cathy and Smurf include an animation program (five or six sectors in length, Autorun.SYS) for five uncompressed (62-sector) pictures. Just copy the Autorun.SYS onto your own disk and add five uncompressed Gr.15 pictures;

 

b) Max Headroom contains a Basic program (MaxHead.RM, length 20 sectors) for 3 Koala compressed pictures, just copy it onto your own disk and add three compressed Gr. 15 pics;

 

c) Schabern.ATR also contains an Autorun.SYS for 3 uncompressed (62 sector) pictures and some noisy music; just copy it onto your own disk and add three uncompressed Gr. 15 pics;

 

If all works well, the pictures load into memory and after the last picture has been loaded, the animation begins...
