On an SGI you can just use the following command (after you have made your rgb
files)

#!/bin/sh


name=

end=`expr $2 + 1`
num=$1
while [ $num != $end ]
do
        name="$name $num.rgb"
        num=`expr $num + 1`
done


echo $name

makemovie -o $3 -c jpeg -f qt -r 10 $name


this will generate a QT Movie, but be carefull:

If you're using Powerpoint on a Wintel machine, don't expect Powerpoint to
manage your QT movies, you'll need mpeg or avi, running Powerponit on a Mac is
no problem !!!

Have fun with it
