Stand alone application
Filmer by Julian Haight. Filmer is a front-end program for Fractint
that generates amazing fractal animation. Fractint is a program
for calculating still fractal images (you need Fractint
installed to use Filmer). Filmer uses Fractint parameter (.par)
files to specify the coordinates and other parameters of a
fractal. It then calculates the intermediate frames and calls
Fractint to make a continuous animation. Filmer also has many
options for pallete rotation and generation.
