Features

  • Add frames in order of the sequence in the list so that the user can order them as needed. This means that there is no need to number the file names other than for the user's convenience. Selecting an image in the list will display it in the display on the right side if there is no SEQ file loaded.
  • Add images with the "Add" button or dropping them into the list.
  • Supports other image formats like BMP, GIF, PCX, TIF and PNG*
  • Importation of animated 320px x 200px GIFs
  • Export SEQ to series of BMP/GIF/PCX/TIF/PNG files
  • Can automatically add a "movieDir=" entry in the CFG file.
  • A panel at the bottom displays a thumbnail for each image. These are always synced to the same order as the list.
  • Drag & drop functionality so images cam be added or to rearrange frame order in either the list or thumbnails. If the list is reordered or if an image is removed or a new image is added, the order of the thumbnails will reflect the change. Gives an at-a-glance view of the frame order.
  • The "Use SEQ Subdirectory" checkbox will let the user set the output to a subdirectory named 'SEQ' under the project's folder. Deselecting it will set the output to the project's base folder.
  • Edit any image on the fly by right clicking on an item in the list or its corresponding thumbnail and selecting "Edit".
  • Once there are at least 2 frames loaded and a SEQ name entered you can create your new SEQ. It will automatically load it in the player. To view it, just click the "Play" button.
  • A save project system with prompt. Can associate the tool's save file extension (*.sqp) so a saved project can be loaded by double clicking the save file.
  • The SEQTool can associate SEQ files with so that double clicking on a SEQ file will automatically play the file in the built-in player.
  • Checking "View" > "Examination Mode" will show pixel changes between frames during play of loaded SEQ file.


  * Note: JPG is disallowed because it is a 'lossy' format that introduces artifacting
