	Duke Nukem 3D uses the [http://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php?title=DeluxePaint_Animation DeluxePaint Animation format] for displaying its cutscenes and logos. These are a sequence of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCX ZSoft PCX images] within the ANM file.		Duke Nukem 3D uses the [http://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php?title=DeluxePaint_Animation DeluxePaint Animation format] for displaying its cutscenes and logos. These are a sequence of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCX ZSoft PCX images] within the ANM file.

	You can create your own ANM files, as well as extract the PCX files from an existing ANM file by using the [http://~~archive~~.~~dukertcm~~.~~com~~/~~knowledge-base/downloads-~~rtcm/duke3d-tools-editart/anim2pcx.zip ANIM2PCX tool]. FFmpeg (and its descendents ffplay and mplayer) also support ANMs as input.		You can create your own ANM files, as well as extract the PCX files from an existing ANM file by using the [http://dukeworld.duke4.net/rtcm/duke3d-tools-editart/anim2pcx.zip ANIM2PCX tool]. FFmpeg (and its descendents ffplay and mplayer) also support ANMs as input.

	Although ANM files are limited to an 8-bit palette, each ANM holds its own palette, independent of any stored in the game. This palette remains constant for every frame of an ANM. Please note that the first color index in the palette used is used as background color during [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_blit blitting] and filling of the screen. All resulting pillarboxing will use this color as the background color. While the animation changes, it's also possible that you will see the screen filled with this color for a single game tic. Therefore, it is highly recommended to ensure the first palette index is RGB #000000, black.
