## Create animation

Export Animated GIF | Click 'File' > 'Animated GIF Export' on the menu. Enter the file name and click OK. --> Setting window will appear. Input Picture size, Frame/sec, Time length... Click START --> Conversion will start. --> You will get an Animated GIF file (.gif) You can see the animated GIF by the internet browser such as Safari.
Export Movie | Tap 'File' > 'Movie Export' on the menu. Enter a name for the file and click OK. --> Setting window will appear. Input Picture size, Frame/sec, Time length... Click START --> Conversion will start. --> You will get an Movie file (.mp4). If the animation includes [Loop] or [Turn] command, you need to set [Time Length (Sec)]. Sound is not available now. Only even numbers can be set for the picture size. You need to download FFmpeg (https://ffmpeg.org) and set it to 9VAe.
Export APNG | Click 'File' > 'Sequential Images/APNG Export' on the menu. Select 'PNG' as the file type. Enter the file name and click OK. --> Setting window will appear. Input Picture size, Frame/sec, Time length... (if you want) 'APNG Loops' is a number of times to loop APNG.(0 is for ever) Click 'OK'. --> You will be asked "Do you want to combine PNGs to an APNG file ?". Click 'Yes'. --> Conversion will start.
Export Sequential Images | Click 'File' > 'Sequential Images/APNG Export' on the menu. Enter a name for the file (ex) aaa0000 and click OK. --> Setting window will appear. Input Picture size, Frame/sec, Time length... (if you want) Click 'OK'. --> Conversion will start. --> You will get Sequential images (ex) aaa0000 aaa0001 ...
Save SVG | Click 'File> Save as' on the menu. In the 'Save as type' list, click 'Scalable Vector Graphics'. Enter a name for the file and click 'Save'. --> The SVG animation file (.svg) will be saved. Animations with more than 99 pages including AnimeCast, will be a still image.
Save EVA | Click 'File> Save as' on the menu. Create a New folder at the desktop. Enter a name for the file and click 'Save'. --> The animation file (.eva) and all the external files (sound, music, image, photo) will be saved into the folder. These external files must exist in the same folder as the animation file.
- Batch conversion | You can make shell script to convert many EVA files to various animation formats. Duplicate '9va-win(.exe)' and rename it as follows.
  Output | Batch conversion program
  Animated GIF | 9va-gif(.exe)
  APNG | 9va-apng(.exe)
  Sequential PNGs | 9va-png(.exe)
  Sequential BMPs | 9va-bmp(.exe)
  Animated SVG (SMIL) | 9va-svg(.exe)
  Movie (MP4) | 9va-mp4(.exe)
- Drag and drop an EVA file to the Batch conversion program icon, an output file will be appear in the same folder the EVA file resides. The output name is the EVA's name + (.gif, .png, .svg, .mp4). By using the following script (auto.bat), you can get two converted SVG files from two EVA files. Locate this script in the same folder with '9va-svg.exe'. (auto.bat example 1) 9va-svg.exe "Full path name of EVA-1 file.eva" 9va-svg.exe "Full path name of EVA-2 file.eva" You can change picture size or change play time by using options as follows. If you put -gif,-apng,-svg, -mp4 at the head of parameter, you can use 9va-win to convert animations.
  option | description [default value] | example
  -gif | Animated GIF Export | "-gif...."
  -apng | APNG Export | "-apng...."
  -png | Sequential PNGs Export The number declares a starting frame number of the animation. [0] | "-png...." "-png100-num100"
  -bmp | Sequential BMPs Export The number declares a starting frame number of the animation. [0] | "-bmp...." "-bmp100-num100"
  -svg | Animated SVG Export | "-svg...."
  -mp4 | Movie Export | "-mp4...."
  -w | Width [Calculated from height, or the width of animation] | -w400
  -h | Height [Calculated from width, or the height of animation] | -h300
  -sec | Play time (sec) [Play time of animation] | -sec4.5
  -fps | Frame per sec [10] (mp4:[30]) | -fps4.5
  -num | Maximum Number of Sequential frames output [sec x fps] | -num100
  -from | The first number of Sequential frames output [Original frame number] | -from0
  -trans | Transparent background [Not transparent] | -trans
  -smooth | Smoothing edge [No smoothing] | -smooth
  -r -g -b | Color of outside (r,g,b) [If transparent then Black(0,0,0) else White(255,255,255)] | -r255 -g0 -b0 (Red)
  -loop | Loop count [0, forever] | -loop1
  -o | Output File Name [Original name.eva + extension] | -ofilename.gif
(auto.bat example 2) 9va-win.exe "Full path name of EVA file.eva" "-apng-w300-loop1-trans" APNG animation (EVA file.eva.png) is output. The width of the output animation is 300 dot (the height is calculated according the aspect ratio ) , loop count is one, the background is transparent. (auto.bat example 3) 9va-win.exe "Full path name of EVA file" "-gif-oout.gif-sec2" GIF animation (out.gif) is output. The play time of the output animation is 2 seconds. GIF's loop count is differnt according to browsers.
