TooRAW » Usage

TooRAW is a very, really simple app. Because of this, the excution of it is very, really simple too. To use TooRAW just follow these simple steps:

Step 1

Double Click the TooRAW executable for your platform and read the note presented with some useful information.

Click OK when Ready...

Step 2

Bowse and select the folder containing the PNG image sequence when prompted. Then click OK.

Step 3

Select your desired frame rate for the RAW stream.

Step 4

TooRAW will prompt for confirmation before starting to join the whole image sequence. Read this notice carefully.

Click OK when you are sure to continue.

Step 5

Just wait while TooRAW joins the entire image sequence into a single RAW stream and saves it to the same folder the source images are.

Meanwhile, watch the nice big progress bar growing...

Step 6

When finished, TooRAW will ask whether or not you'd like to open the folder containing the resulting RAW stream and source images.

After choosing an option TooRAW will exit.

Notes

TooRAW is a very simple app, it was programmed to be a simple utility for video creation from a png sequence, so it does NOT stay open if something fails or if you cancel the process at any step, so it's good for you to know the following:

If you press ESC at any moment during execution, the app will exit completely.
If your press any of the "Cancel" buttons on the dialogs, the app will exit completely.
If you press "Cancel" while choosing the image source folder, the app will present an error mesage and then will exit completely when you press OK.

Newer versions of the app may be programmed in a more desktop-environment fashion but I give you no guarantee that I'll be doing this for sure.

To run TooRAW you need to have Java Runtime Environment installed in your computer.
If you do not have JRE you can download it from the Java Official Website.

You'll also need to have QuickTime Installed.
Linux devs please read on the Development page of this site.
