Anthony Henry presents the Commander X16 Movie Maker in a step-by-step tutorial that shows how to build videos for the system. The Commander X16 Movie Maker Tutorial begins with launching the program, confirming its files, and choosing whether to start a new project.
For his example, Henry selects a short 3D dice animation MP4 file. Once loaded, the main screen displays the video parameters and the available control keys. With these options, creators can set resolution, pick color depth, and decide on audio settings.
Henry chooses a 4-bit per pixel video with dithering turned off and pairs it with embedded audio. He explains that other modes, such as bitmap and high bandwidth, will appear in future tutorials. By default, the resolution is 160 by 112, but he adjusts it to 192 by 128 for smoother results.
Transitioning to output, Henry demonstrates how aspect ratios can match platforms like TikTok or YouTube Shorts. With a press of F1, the software extracts frames, assigns the audio track, and creates an SPV file. The preview plays instantly, giving a clear look at how the video will appear on the Commander X16.
This first entry in the Commander X16 Movie Maker Tutorial introduces the basics and sets the stage for more advanced features. Henry promises to return with deeper coverage, ensuring that X16 users can expand their creative projects step by step.
