ABOUT FAST MOVIE PROCESSOR

    This is THE FASTEST movie processing application on the market.
  It helps you changing and adjusting movies with operations and filters
  like EMBOSS, ADJUST RGB, BLUR, SHARPEN and others.

  Program utilizes a list of operations that are to be performed on each
  frame of the movie, thus if you need to apply GAMMA CORRECTION,
  followed by GRAYSCALE and RESAMPLE you can do it in only one step.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRIAL VERSION LIMITATIONS

    This trial version serves just for the evaluation purposes, so you 
  can decide does it meet your requirements. 

  You can experiment with all the options and operations, use all input 
  and output formats, but when you are saving your work each image will 
  have the logo text in upper left corner.

  If you don't like that order the retail version. It's price is 
  nothing compared to the quality and speed which it delivers on a 
  traditionaly slow Win32 platform.

SOME INFO FROM PROGRAMMER'S CORNER

  - all image operations are written in assembly language
  - HAV is a LOSELESS movie format (useful for archiving purposes),
    it's smaller in compressed data size than other nonloosy formats
    and can be played in real time
  - sorry for slow HAV-Best compression, next time will be improved,
    but don't worry for decompression (Fast or Best), it's written
    in assembly language
  - when reducing 24bit to 8bit/palette program doesn't require
    additional disk space for temporary files
  - GIF and TIFF are not supported due to patent restrictions  
    of LZW compression/decompression
  - few words about AVI and DIB: ?@#%!$&
