What is AnimatED?
-----------------

AnimatED allows you to add sound and timing to your IFF-animations
using an easy to use GUI. Let's introduce some powerful features
available in AnimatED:

* Support for IFF-animations (modes 5 and 7).

* Support for all screenmodes (including AGA),

* IFF-soundsamples, which can be played through any channel you like.
  You can also set the volume and the pitch at which the sample will be
  played. Looped soundsamples are supported.

* Framespeed, change at any point in your animation the speed at which
  your animation is played. The speed is measured in Frames Per Second.

* Wait, pause your animation for an amount set in seconds.

* Play Sound-/Noise-/ProTracker modules during your animation.

* Easy to use GUI.

* Your finished productions can be easily played back in realtime using
  the stand-alone freely distributable AnimatEDPlay program.


What are the system requirements?
---------------------------------

For AnimatED you'll need an Amiga with at least Kickstart 2.04 and 2Mb
of memory, more memory is recommended. AnimatED also needs a 68020
processor or better.


What's new in version 1.50?
---------------------------

* Redesigned all windows!

* Seperated 'Fade In' and 'Fade Out' within the Fade event. Which
  makes it possible to for example fade in the palette and fade out a
  trackermodule on the same frame.

* The name of the project you are currently working on is now displayed
  in the titlebar of the Project window.

* The current frame is now displayed in every event windows title bar.

* The current frame is now kept highlighted in the Frames listviewer.
  (NOTE: On 2.x Amiga's an extra boxout will be shown instead of the
  frame being highlighted)

* Added the 'Ask ScreenMode' option in the Prefs (animation) window.
  When activated this option will make AnimatEDPlay show a
  screenmode-requester from where the viewer can select a displaymode to
  view the animation in.

* The tracker event in AnimatED now checks if the selected file is
  a compatible trackermodule before loading it into memory.

* Removed the HAM screen checkbox in the Prefs menu. (HAM screens
  should already be recognised automatically by AnimatED)

* Removed a bug which caused not all Chip memory to be freed when an
  animation was removed from memory.

* Removed a bug which caused the screen the animation is displayed on
  to reopen when the cancel button in the screenmode-requester was
  pressed.

* Removed a bug which made AnimatED crash on some Amiga's when the
  Filter option was selected in the Sound event.

* Added some great looking NewIcons for AnimatED, created by Brian
  Jones, to the archive. (thanks Brian!)
