Title: Mandelbrot Zoom Animations
Post by: Fractacular on March 29, 2012, 07:45:49 PM
Since there's nothing here, I'll add some of my animations made with Fractal eXtreme.

Enjoy!

I've never seen colour cycling and zooming with Fractal Extreme.
Did you set your display to a 256-colour (8 bit) mode to get this effect?
That way fractal extreme just needs to alter the palette table to cycle the colours.
In 16 bit of 32 bit colour I guess it redraws all the pixels to cycle the colours.

Sorry about the late reply...

All I did was create the movie, then play it on the pc full screen with the Cycle colours check box checked.  I had my camcorder hooked to the s-video output and recorded the output.

It's not the greatest, but it works...sort of. :D

The cycle colours checkbox will only appear if the Fractal Extreme Movie was rendered in a 256 colour (8 bit) screen mode.
The Movie can be played in 32/16 bit colour mode it the rendering that's important.
I've achieved a modest sized colour cycled video in this thread.

I've used direct screen capture as I dont have a video camera nor S-video output.
Probably cleaner using direct screen capture but you're limited by your CPU/Memory/Hard disk as to how large the resolution able to be captured.
Ie to capture uncompressed 1080p you'd need the fastest of SSD drives, or a a very powerful CPU (GPU?) to compress on the fly.
