[Dave LaRonde] “The codec has been called “Animation” ever since I started working in digital video in 1995, and doubtlessly before that.
I suppose they could have called it “Clarence”, but that doesn’t sound serious enough, I guess.”
LOL!
I beat you by one year (1994).
Yes that codec option has been around for a long time but I do recall reading a book from Trish Meyer that Animation was geared towards RGB colors such as cel, vector drawn types basically solid colors.
Its been years so I would have to dig up book.
I am sure someone here knows the answer 🙂
