First....what version of SCALA do you have?

Second.........I am aa avid SCALA user (MM300) and I love it to the max.

From my experience, SCALA doesn't play Anim5 well, you should save the anim as single frames and then recompile them with SCALA into the anim8L format. It will play alot faster! but that also depends on your Amiga wether it is ECS or AGA.

If you have the SCALA manual, it tells you what is the best anim format to save it in for your machine.

by the way anim8W or 8L are just as popular as anim5. and NO SCALA does not play the very weird anim7 from what I remember.....but if you have MainActor I think it can convert it to anim5 and possibly anim8L as well. But it gave me corrupt anims so I prefer SCALA. SCALA's way of putting all the frames together is so easy!

to your questions about CLarissa and calling up Viewtek.....I would probably say yes!  SCALA can do anything!  I made it play VCD's and MP3's through the EXECUTE tab. make sure you have it showing or at least in its Startup Drawer. This lets you execute any CLI command while running the scriot without exiting the script..if there is  a way to make a Clarissa player play through CLI then SCALA can do it. Also same for Viewtek................hmmm this sounds darn fun...........Im gonna try it!  but you try it to an let me know what you get.


THe way I played VCD's was on my CD32 with SX-1 and FMV card.............there was a VCD/MPEG CLI command in the CD32 MPEG CD that came with the FMV card.......in it was the command.  and the MASPlayer Decoder has CLI commands to control the MAS from CLI, so I ran it through SCALA with a Nice MP3 menu.


SCALA is the true GUI for CLI

Its not cutting it off.........I think what you need to do is remove the last 2 frames yourself............and then let SCALA make the anim without those last 2 frames and see how that goes..............
