In order to make an animation, you'll need a program, in this tutorie, I'm gonna try to explain how to use Animation Shop 2, if you don't have it, you can download it here. This program usually comes with Paint Shop Pro, so if you have Paint Shop Pro, take a minute and look around, you might have it! :)
1. In order to make an animation, you need at least two images made first, then save it onto your hard disk, but if you have Animation Shop 2, you can just COPY the image in Paint Shop, and then PASTE it in the Animation Shop.
2. Run Animation Shop (they usually have it in the start menu)
3. If you wanna make an animation, click on FILE, and then choose ANIMATION WIZARD, or you can just click on the lil toolbar thing, it looks like this:
4. After you've clicked on it, a wizard should show up asking you all the questions, choose the ones that fit your animation, and then a set of frames should show up after you've click on FINISH. It looks like this:
If you want to see the animation, click on VIEW on the toolbar, and then choose ANIMATION, if you want to see the frames, click on VIEW and then choose FRAMES.
5. If you want any other effects in the animation, go to EFFECTS on the toolbar, in Animation Shop 2, you'll have INSERT IMAGE TRANSITION, INSERT IMAGE EFFECT, APPLY IMAGE EFFECT, APPLY TEXT EFFECT, INSERT TEXT EFFECT... if you want the animation to dissolve, or if you want curtains, go to INSERT IMAGE TRANSISTION, the wizard looks like this:
There are different effects that you can choose from, the one that I was using was called dissolve.
6. Now if you are happy with all your animation and things, you can save it (save from FILE or click F12), another wizard will pop up, it looks like this:
Always set the image quality on the highest, or else it'll look really wieird, usually, the program set the quality at the highest, so if you want a high quality animation, just click on next for everything :) or you can costumize it if you wanna!
Still confused? click here then! :)
