You can select the format in which you want to save the frames in the Modules list. Most modules support more than one codec, select the one you want in the Codecs list.
If you are going to save pictures or an animation, you can select their new width and height in the Width and Height entry fields.
You can now choose if you want to save all the frames of the project, or just those which are selected in the The Frame List . If you want to save all frames, enable the All Frames button, otherwise select the Selected Frames button.
The Index entry field is used by the picture saver modules only, it determines the start index of the index appended to the pictures. This option is useful if you want to load pictures in a specific order into MainActor. To do this simply save the pictures, load them into MainActor and sort the frames by name.
You can edit the color palette which will be used for 8bit codecs by selecting the Palette ... button. The palette will be created and The Palette Editor will be opened to edit the palette. The editor is nice when you want to optimize the palette or want to set a specific color to the 0 index (for example to set it to transparent with the GIF saver). Using the editor, you can also load /save palettes. Although you can always edit the palette, it will only be used by codecs which use a color palette (8bit codecs).
The Options ... button will open The Save Options window, which allows some more specific save options to be defined.
You can start the save process by clicking on the Save... button. Choose the name of the new project in the file dialog requester. Note that the save modules will append their suffix to the file name automatically, like ".fli" . Also, if you save a series of pictures, the picture index will also be appended, like "0002.bmp" . You can change the start index with the Index entry field.
While saving you can stop the action by clicking on Cancel . Cancel will also close the window if no save progress is currently running.
