@DaNi

MainActor Broadcast (MAB) for the Amiga has not been released into the public domain, so you will have to locate a copy in the 'For Sale' ads. You might try AmiBench or eBay, but MAB is very rare these days.

I use MAB a lot (visit my website for some example MAB anims). As a second alternative, the standard MainActor program was released into the pd. Its not quite as powerful as MAB (fewer file formats and no special FX) but it's still the best free animation kit for the Amiga I know of.  
You can download MainActor version 1.55 from Aminet. This is the version which has appeared on various cover disks/CDs. Use the Aminet search tool and look for mainactor.lha

If you need any help with MA, I'll be pleased to offer mine. Get back by PM anytime.

Cheers,

JaX

This program is GREAT!!! :-D  You can make miracles with timecodes (like AnimatED) but when you try to work non-natives formats is messy  :-x

@DaNi

Keep searching Aminet. There are mpeg to anim converters, but I've not yet found mpeg to avi or to mov. Can you convert anim to the required format using MA?  MA was released well before mpeg was commonplace, so I doubt if you'll find any MA plugins to handle mpegs.

Cheers,
