xaos and gimp animation

xaos renders it's animations in png format, gimps mpeg encoder can't read png format though. all the rendered files are individual (up many hundreds) and i want to do post work on them in gimp and put them together with other types of animations i have made . eventually at some point i'll probably move onto film gimp but at the minute gimp can still handle to bits and pieces i'm doing. i need a script to convert x amount of png files into a single xcf file, is that possible ? also xaos outputs three types of file, png (raw image i think) and png.b and png.p, how important are these and do i need them in gimp ?

if i convert some finished animations (bits of) into mpeg fromat (under gimp) will i still be able to modify them ?

atm i can only view the png files by doing this command;'mplayer -fs -mf "on:fps=5:type=png" "*.png"

which isn't ideal, i would like to work with these files and obvioulsy opening them one by one in gimp is considering the amount niegh impossible.

are there any docs/sites where i can look up questions like this ?

thanks :)

You can use ImageMagick to create an animation from your sequence of PNG images. Perhaps GAP can then read this animation, I'm not sure.

i need a script to convert x amount of png files into a single xcf file, is that possible ?

Writing that script in Script-Fu or Gimp-Perl should be trivial.

You should try GAP's filters. Make sure your sequence has a naming scheme like foo_0001.png, foo_0002.png, etc and then use Frames to Image to put all the files as layers of a new one.

In worst case, you will have to use a shell script to rename your files to something GAP likes.

which isn't ideal, i would like to work with these files and obvioulsy opening them one by one in gimp is considering the amount niegh impossible.

GAP has a navigator and lets you apply a filter multiple times. Maybe you do not have to load all the image into a XCF. Really, you should give GAP a try, it sounds like want you want. That, and read mencoder and ImageMagick's docs more, for small editing and compression you should have enough.

It might also work to just use a current version of imagemagick and do:

convert *.png anim.xcf

(maybe add some other switches to set fps etc.) or use another format instead of .xcf and convetr it to xcf by load/save within the gimp.

thank you, i have had many tips now and have to try them all out, including scripting (eeek :)
