@w1k: Nice animation ! I also started with such flickery animations. Use tip-animator 2xb (double buffering) for less/no flicker; which palette do you use ? Don`t use the "default" palette, since this one is really bad. You can also lower the resolution of the frames (e.g. with Xnview, Irfanview and others) and then use a black border around each frame (so you have 160x100 pixels resolution again)...

that was first try, now i trying different pallete, bright, etc

Hello,

@Sikor: Where did you find "Bambi meets Godzilla" ?!? I am asking because I have a very old Movie-Maker animation of this in my collection (works on 48k and/or 64k Ataris) - see attachment... ;-)

Somewhere on internet.
Yes, moviemaker version is good, but not original ;P

Well,

1) load Tipconv.JAR, (with JAVA)
2) when loaded, click on "Image",
3) then click on "Resize",
4) finally click on / highlight "Fit"

and the full picture will be used.

Guess you have used "Crop to fit" or it was chosen automatically (could be the standard config. which you did not change, maybe). But, on the other hand, a tip-picture can have 160x119 pixels (tip-converter allows that too), however tip-animator uses only 160x100 pixels so that could also be the case why your picture is cropped. Solution: Downsize your frames to 320x200 or 160x100 pixels, so that Tip-Converter will use max. 160x100 pixels for the tip-picture (and tip-animator will work fine then)...

Attached two new versions here, one created with tip-animator v2.9 and one created with tip-animator 2xb (double-buffer, thus less flicker). Both creations work on 128k Ataris and since the earth moon is not so colourfull, they are greyscale only...
