| Saving to AVI file | |||||
 |
Another option in VirtualDub is of course to save as AVI file. Before you do, you'll want to select the desired codec. first, select menu: Video > Full processing mode and then menu: Video > Compression You might also want to make sure that no audio channel is added. Look in Audio menu. Or you could use that in fact to add an audio track, perhaps sound effects . |
|
|||
 |
Then
save the
animation as AVI file: menu: File > Save as AVI... (F7) |
||||
 |
Indicate
the file
name and click Save. Done! |

| Converting Targa image sequence to another format | |||||
 You can also use VirtualDub to convert the image sequence from Dogwaffle's Targa to another format, such as Jpeg or Png. This is particularly nice for users of the free version of Project Dogwaffle, where image sequences are saved only as Targa images. If you need other image formats you can also use Irfanview, another excellent, very fast and versatile and above all free image viewer with great batch conversion capabilities. |
|
||||
 |
If
you do the
conversion in VirtualDub, choose one of the listed formats: BMP TARGA JPEG PNG and possibly some of their associated options such as compression quality for Jpeg. |
||||
| And
that's it. You can now
go and be very creative, by creating some very cool animations and
offer them
in your emails as animated gif attachments or on a website and many
other places. And you used tools which are completely free. Woohoo! Of course if you use PD Pro or others you may also see additional features in the animation toolbar, such as the light table (aka Onionskin) which shows the prior 2 and next two frames blended automatically, without the need to also copy images frame by frame to the Swap buffer. This will let you work much faster and efficiently of course. |
