This is a typical Through Focus Movie of a piece of dry onion skin
photographed down a microscope with transmitted light.
The first three lines of the Fade In and Out Macro are optional. Goto Frame(0) makes the bottom Frame of the Stack active. The next line calls the second Macro 10 times, passing the values 0 to 900 in steps of 100. Now the stack is turned on it's head so the fade is at the top of the Stack. Then the same Goto Frame and _Alter Brightness functions can be used again. Finally Finish prevents the user from being able to adjust the brightness when macro processing finishes.
The second Macro Adjusts the brightness of the Active Frame and stores the result in Out. Insert Below Active creates a new frame below the Active Frame and copies Out to it. The letters 'SSS' mean Substitute the value passed to this macro for the three numbers in brackets.
A CombineZ Movie is normally made from the Bottom Frame, Frame(0), upwards, but Reverse Order forses the movie to start with the original Top Frame, so you may wish to add an additional Reverse Ordere of Frames line to the first Macro.
When using before using Make Movie remember to crop the edges by pressing 'A' twice or drawing a box around the required area, the sample above was compressed 70% and the frame rate was 80 ms.
