animation rendering question

hi,
I was wondering what is the highest possible resolution for animations made by context-free? it is up to 1000 Mpix for images but is it the same for the animations as well? and is it also possible to render an animation frame by frame? lets say a PNG file for each frame in each second of the whole animation?
cheers.

The command-line version, cfdg, generates animations as individual PNG frames. Context Free should be able to generate frames of any size, but it uses QuickTime for creating the movies and I don't know what QT's limts are.

can you very briefly tell me what to do in order to get individual PNG files using the command-line version? or direct me somewhere about how to handle it. quicktime should be able to do a good job with the videos tough.
thanks a lot.

Code: Select all
[1003] : ./cfdg -?
cfdg - 2.1(v7)
Usage:
cfdg [options] input.cfdg output.png/svg
or to pipe a cfdg file on standard input:
cfdg [options] - output.png/svg
Options:
-w num width in pixels(png) or mm(svg) (default 500)
-h num height in pixels(png) or mm(svg) (default 500)
-s num set both width and height in pixels/mm
-m num maximum number of shapes (default none)
-x float minimum size of shapes in pixels/mm (default 0.3)
-b float border size [-1,2]: -1=-8 pixel border, 0=no border,
1=8 pixel border, 2=variable-sized border
-v str set the variation code (default is random)
-a num generate num animation frames (PNG only)
-z zoom out during animation
-V generate SVG (vector) output
-c crop image output
-? show this message, then exit
Historical usage: ./cfdg input.cfdg output.png width height [maxshapes]
Use the '-a num' command-line option to get cfdg to output several PNG files and animation frames. The '-z' option determines whether the animation zooms out or has a fixed scale.
To compile cfdg on Windows you will need to install Cygwin. On a Mac you can just type 'make cfdg'.

How do I save an animation properly on photoshop? I've made an animation of photshop, save it to gif. But when I tried to upload it to photobucket, it became a picture. I want it to stay as an animation. But I want to do it properly. And I want to it stay as an animation.
