Well, someone said that animation shop is easier than image ready because you don't have to do all of that slides, and it just constantly play? What do they mean?
I'm still new at animation shop, I tried the Effects>Insert Image Transition, and then when you press play, it seems the same as image ready, they have slides... I don't understand, basically, can someone kind of explain how things work. I am more use to photoshop, but I thought it would be good to try to use some other program. |

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking...
I use Animation Shop 3 all the time, so if you could be more specific, that would be wonderful

Well..the tutorials didn't really help kind of...
The banner tutorial didn't really help, because i tried doing it without screenshots and it was very confusing. The icon tutorial helped a little bit...the other site with a lot of tutorials helped too... Do you have anymore? |

To do a basic animation:
Create all of your frames. Like, if you have an avatar with three images that rotate, make them all the same size, crop them, whatever. Add any text now. You can do this in whatever image program you want. To animate it, open up Animation shop. Go to File >> Animation Wizard (Shift + A). The wizard is not hard to use at all. Define the size of the animation, the background color, scaling and placement, looping and timing, and then adding your images. Each screen gives an explanation. To add text effects to an image... say you have an avatar with a swirly background or something, and you want your name on it to do something exciting, like marquee or bounce around or something. Then you use the Banner Wizard (Shift + B). Like before, each screen gives instructions. To make something like my avatar (purple swirls and all), just open up any image into the program and "add image effect". The one I used is "underwater", but you can do pretty much anything. And last but not least, save as a .gif. Hope that helped? |
