Then I try and select "Save as sequence..."
first off, a "Sequence" means separate frames, or files that are numbered sequentially. this is not what you want. the menu from the layers menu window will only save sequences.
if you want to save an ANIM (a single file of compressed frames all together in a lump), you have to use the normal SAVE button on the toolbox.
now, a gif anim is a colormapped image (256 colors or less). gif can never be 24 bit. The only time amigas can make 24 bit "anims is when you make a flyer clip. and that generally happens (i believe) if you have a flyer. I'm guessing you don't :-P
mpgs and such are also 24bit but you have to compile separate single frames together to get them into that format. IFX doesn't really directly save to mpg. you can, save the 24 bit frames from IFX.
if you have enough memory you can play the anim from the layers menu. but that doesn't have anything to do with saving. just thought i'd point it out. :lol:
right now I forget the exact location of the tool to transform the buffer into a colormapped image. Color>...eh, something. I'm so used to where it is I don't look at the names anymore.
do you know about the
IFX mailing list?
very useful place to get answers to all sorts of problems.
