Kalypso Shortcomings
Still Store Loader
Still Store Loader is a useful tool, but needs a few extras. It needs to be able to operate without the need for a Mouse or Keyboard. You can use the Windows CharMap utility without a mouse to copy numbers, but SSL has no "Paste" ability. The On-Screen keyboard is not standard in the Windows release supplied with a Kalypso.
Maybe a Third Party needs to create a File Conversion utility for Still Store files (one that can operate without keyboard and mouse). It needs to work with .jpg .bmp .tif .tga incuding those with key signals / alpha channels / transparent colours. And, most importantly, it needs to be able to convert .avi and .mpg video files to Kalypso Clips. The Protocols manual has all the details about how a Kalypso Still Store Image is stored. If I knew a programming language more recent than BASIC, I'd do it myself.
Someone known only as "Colin" says on the Editsuite.com forum that he's been trialling an animation loader - we'd love to hear how it went.
