Elan Invision Plus

@ amigan24

Yes it works on an unexpanded A1200, but wont do alot unless you have memory, or a Fast SCSI HD if you want to Spool animations.

If your just doing a Slide show then its totally awesome.

I have Elan Invision Plus and a few different Versions of Elan Performer

Elan Invision is basically Elan Performer except that INVISION also allows the use of A-Squared's Amiga LIVE! Video effects card (Rare as hens teeth but cool)  And ELAN PERFORMER is More updated and allows use of different Animation formats.


It DOES NOT support AGA unfortunately BUT!   here is a little secret!  Elan performer works with the DCTV which allows Million Color Animations! even in 720x480 (the Faster your processor the Better)

Also you can add sound to the Keys by using an external program called: NOISOMEKEYCLICK

Get that!

But this is something I simply thought of...its nto supposed to work with PERFORMER. If the Creator of NoisomeKeyClick would add the ability to put a different sound on every key...you would have an AWESOME application.


Elan Performer is one of the Most Amazing Applications for the Amiga.   Currently the owners are NEWTEK,who made the Video Toaster.

Any Hackers Care to get the Source Code and upgrade this App?

Someone Please!

I VJ with this Application regularly alongside SCALA MM300.

@amigan24

amigan24....what I am trying to tell you in a nutshell is, to get rid of INVISION. it is 100% useless compared to PERFORMER


INVISION and PERFORMER are Identical.....witht he exception that Performer is way better and has more features (the only one lacking is that you cant use the LIVE! video board, but who cares! that board only exists for A500 and A2000)

Yes you can convert MPEG loops into Anim5, but why use MPEG?  thats a Crappy format.....Use BLUERAY or DVD or DV video.

The Higher the format you convert from, the higher the quality of your anim5's will be.

go to  www.digitaljuice.com

buy a cheap jumpbacks DVD, download the Juicer 2 (or 3.0) wich is FREE.
Convert the Motion loops to JPEG frames (at 100% quality)   then batch convert the JPEGS into IFF HAM8 resolution to 352x240  or 720x240 for DCTV

use SCALA MM300 or anim workshop to recompile the animation into anim5

now watch and be amazed!

PS: if running from SCALA, save them as anim8 which will make the anims runs faster.

Elan performer 2.09 or something like that was the last version.

Why do you still want to use INVISION PLUS?  it does less than PERFORMER.
