The FLI format, and its successor, the FLC format (which mainly adds higher resolution), were used by DOS-based Autodesk programs like Autodesk Animator. Many early 3D animations are in this format.

There are two main versions of the format, which can be identified by their filename extension:

* '''.fli''': original format, dimensions up to 320×200 pixels, 64 colors

The term '''FLI''' can mean the '''.fli''' format specifically, or it can be a collective name for both formats. '''FLC''' means just the '''.flc''' format.

FLIC (also known as FLI, or FLI/FLC) is a family of animated image formats associated with Autodesk Animator. Many early 3D animations are in this format. Its features are similar to those of animated GIF.

Contents

Versions

There are two main versions of the format, which can be identified by their filename extension:

  • .fli: original format, dimensions up to 320×200 pixels, 64 colors
  • .flc: newer format, dimensions up to 65535×65535 pixels, 256 colors

The term FLI can mean the .fli format specifically, or it can be a collective name for both formats. FLC means just the .flc format.

A number of extensions of the format have also been invented by various applications: FLX, FLH, FLT, CEL, etc.

Identification

.fli files have bytes 0x11 0xAF at offset 4.

.flc files have bytes 0x12 0xAF at offset 4.
