php! - necesity is the mother of invention I have written a bash script for exactly the same function over the last few days. It seems to be pretty solid. http://www.karricountry.com.au/animtext.sh To use it I move the script into my /usr/bin: mv cp ~/animtext.sh /usr/bin/animtext Then, in a terminal, go to the directory with the image files and type animtext The script should identify the filetype and create and index file. Optional parameters: animtext filetype framerate filepath as in: animtext png 23.976 animation/sources/1 If you don't like my default framerate of 12 then hack the script. I have another script which works but which needs some debugging. It is triggered when I hotplug my camera. It downloads the images into a date indexed folder, does pre-processing of raw, jpg and png images, rotates 180 degrees if neccessary , changes aspect ratios if neccessary and then calls this animtext script. The idea is to keep mechanical processing out of cinelerra and have a better experience in terms of render speed and previewing... My animation workflow is getting pretty smooth with a bit of amateur bash programming. I will post a link to the second script once it is more solid.
