Knob Creator is a small application which allows you to create an animation strip of your custom knob image(s).

You can create the strip from either a single image or a prerendered sequence of images. While originally intended to aid in the creation of SynthEdit skins, Knob Creator is far more versitile.

Instead of using Photoshop Actions to do the rotations Knob Creator does all graphic processing internally and before the final rendered image is compositied and output.

You also have the option of creating the rendered images in the PNG format which has a much better appearance with excellent compression over jpeg's or GIFs. Standard BMPs are also output by Knob Creator.


Image formats which may be imported into Knob Creator are:

*.bmp *.bw *.rgb *.rgba *.sgi *.cel, *.pic *.tif, *.tiff *.tga, *.vst *.icb *.vda, *.win *.pcx, *.pcc,
	*.scr *.pcd *.ppm, *.pgm, *.pbm *.cut *.pal *.gif *.rla *.rpf *.psd, *.pdd *.psp *.png *.eps

(A sample of a strip rendered in KC is shown at the left.)


Knob Creator will also assemble sequenced image sets if you have already rendered them.

There is no limit on image size or frame counts. Er well frames are limited to a max of 360 frames per animation. If you need more I will be happy to increase it...but >360 REALLY ??

The installation includes standard Windows help and a PDF manual.

Knob Creator is Freeware. Knob Creator has NO limits. And it should go without saying but I know it does need to be said..

There is NO Spyware, Spamware, Crapware or any type of BSware in it.

Addendum
  Information which did not make it into the release version Help and PDF Manual.

When you create an image strip you will find it and your SE text file (if you selected that option) in a subdirectory under the main Knob Creator directory called " Current Project". Knob Creator creates this directory automatically when you run the program for the first time.
