     Hey all.  I've got a nifty little 250 frame Imagine animation that I ren-
dered in 24 bit and converted to DCTV format.  The pic size is whatever the DCT
V manual sez it's best at... 7xx by 6xx I think... I forget.  Anyway...

     I'm trying to put all these files together into an animation... and no
program I've tried can do it.  For example:

     Makeanim -    Has a maximum screen size and chopps off the far right and
                   bottom of the picture.  Naughty, naughty.

     DPaint III -  The version I have can't animate on a screen that's larger
                   than the screen you're working with and you can't resize it.

     BuildAnim -   An ANCIENT piece of software that I don't know why I have
                   would require me to pick by hand all 250 frames.  No thanks.

     Well... any suggestions?

     Also: can anybody recommend a program to do general editing on Animations?
For example:

     Changing the Timing on a frame-by-frame or entire-anim basis
     Split anims
     Paste anims
   * Create an anim that is a DVE of either a still or an anim *
     Other editing tricks

     I've been playing with AnimMagic... but I don't own it and I need a
program I can depend on with my A3000 that won't hang on the last frame of a
DVE (like AnimMagic does... looks GREAT up until that point.) and I want
something that'll handle DCTV images (AnimMagic does this as well.)
     Thanks!
