END OF AN ERA, FRACTALFORUMS.COM IS CONTINUED ON FRACTALFORUMS.ORG

Is anyone aware, or know if it's even possible to create a zoom video with color cycling using Fractal Extreme? I know that I can turn on color cycling when watching the render (for non anti aliased renders), but I can find no way to export to an avi with color cycling enabled.

Any info regarding this would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I was inspired to make sure I wasn't talking rubbish and create a colour cycling video using Fractal Extreme.

I used my Smoothed Colouring plugin mostly because the iterations are sparse out on the spike and the cycling effect would be more jumpy.
Its an absolute requirement to render the movie in a 256colour or 8bit graphics mode.
Change back to 32bit colour when you play/capture the zoom movie.
It's best to learn the control keys of the movie player when capturing the live zoom.
Ctrl-P to start the zoom, Ctrl-Y to start the colour cycling.
I used VLC to capture the desktop, to cut down on the memory bandwidth I set the desktop into 640x480 mode.
I also played the zoom at half speed and captured at 15 frames per second.
Then altered the frame rate in VirtualDub to be a normal 30 frames per second.
Remember VLC was JPEGing each frame it captured.
If my screen was a its normal 1680x1050 that would mean a lot of extra pixels encoded for no reason.
So if you want to capture HD you may need to slow things down even more.
