Hello folks...

Is there a way I could take, say, an After Effects-created animation and turn it into a screen saver? Here’s specifically what I’m trying to do....

I’m using Illustrator v8 in OS 9 to create more than a dozen of Star Trek’s (the original series) bridge computer displays. I want to bring all of the layers into AE once the AI files are completed, and animate their appearance, disappearance or movement.

From those rendered animations, is there a way to program or perhaps run through some software floating around out there to convert that animation into a screen saver file?

I realize I could probably just keep it as a QT movie to play, but I’m not sure that the files I create will easily play as movie files by a 200MHz or 300MHz G3 CPU (never mind an 16MHz 030 CPU running OS 7.5!).

Thanks guys.

Does something like the shareware Screen Gear help?
'A screen saver and a simple presentation tool. Screen Gear will take a folder of AIFF, PICT, JPEG and QuickTime files and turn them into an elegant slide show, fading one file into the next while playing narration, music or both.'›

Not really. Not a terrible idea though, but it would not look the same.

Thank you though
