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.
