SEQ Converter0.16 Build 2011-01-17

SEQ Converter is a small software application developed specifically for helping you convert Atari CyberPaint Sequence animations (SEQ files) to Amiga IFF ANIM, Microsoft AVI, or Apple QuickTime video. In addition, you may convert animations to Amiga IFF ILBM image sequence or PNG image sequence.The utility can be deployed on all Windows versions out there, provided that you have the Java working environment deployed on the target computer.

Portable tool

This is a portable program. You can store it on USB flash drives or other portable devices to have it with you all the time. In addition, you may run it without administrative privileges.Gaining access to its features requires only opening the executable file because there’s no setup included in the process. It does not write entries to your Windows registry and leave other configuration files on the target PC. It actually saves the settings data on the storage device.

Minimalist design

SEQ Converter boasts a clean and simple interface that has to offer only a few configuration settings. A help manual is not included in the package but you can easily get an idea about the application works thanks to its intuitive set of options.

Conversion capabilities

The program offers you the possibility to import SEQ animations in the working environment by dragging and dropping them (a browse button is not implemented). SEQ files include clips with 320x200 pixels.SEQ Converter makes use of the following conversion settings upon encoding videos: IFF ANIM (with 4 bits per pixel, variable frame rate, vertical compression), AVI (with 8 bits per pixel, fixed frame rate, Microsoft RLE compression), QuickTime (with 16 bits per pixel, variable frame rate, Apple RLE compression), IFF ILBM (with  4 bits per pixel, fixed frame rate, compression), and PNG (8 bits per pixel, fixed frame rate, deflate compression).Tests have shown that SEQ Converter carries out a task quickly and without errors. It does not eat up a lot of CPU and memory resources so the overall performance of the computer is not hampered.

Final remarks

To sum things up, SEQ Converter comes bundled with several handy features for helping you process Atari CyberPaint Sequence animations, and can be set up by rookies and professionals alike.
