See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Date: Thu May 2 16:33:54 PDT 1996 In IRIX 5.2 and earlier, Moviemaker exports images using the ImageVision FIT file format. This library is supported by the SGI ImageVision Library and its assorted tools. To convert FIT files to another file format, such as SGI rgb or TIFF, use the imgcopy(1) program, part of the ImageVision Tools (imgtools) product. The ImageVision Tools are bundled with the basic IRIX distribution. The following shell script will convert a batch of image files to SGI format, using imgcopy: #----------------------- cut here --------------------------- #!/bin/csh # # iv2sgi - convert a batch of imagevision-supported files to SGI # .rgb format using imgcopy # # usage: iv2sgi <filenames> # foreach image ($argv) imgcopy -fSGI $image $image.rgb end #----------------------- cut here --------------------------- Moviemaker 2.1, which is available in the IRIX 5.3 release, supports image export in SGI and TIFF, as well as FIT formats. NOTE: the IRIX 5.3 version of Moviemaker contains a bug which prevents it from exporting images to TIFF format. Exported images will look all black or all white. If this is important to you, you can download the Digital Media Tools 5.5 software product, which contains a version of Moviemaker which corrects the bug. See the first question in this FAQ for details on downloading the Digital Media Tools 5.5 software product. If you have IRIX 5.3 or later, you can also use Movie Convert to extract image frames from movie files. Moviemaster converts between movies and images. 32 different image formats are currently supported. All sgi movie formats are supported. Moviemaster can extract frames from a movie, build a movie from frames, or image convert from one format to another. In IRIX 6.2, moviemaker allows you to choose an image file format to output to (TIFF, RGB, etc); choose "Collection of Images" from the pop-up menu in the dialog box, and then choose the appropriate format from the pop-up menu in the Image Settings dialog.
