The 2 programs i use most are Macromedia Flash and 3D Studio Max. I can get a good fire effect in
max, but im totally lost when i get into Flash. Does anyone know a good tutorial or have some
personal knowledge on the subject?...

Create an Animation With Powerpoint Get your idea for the animation. Estimate how long
this story will take you and how many slides it will be and see if you still feel like doing it.
If you still want to try, create the layout for the first scene. Draw whatever background is
necessary for your story. Create/Draw the character(s). For the second slide, you don't
have to redraw the whole thing. Just duplicate the slide and move whatever needs to be moved for
the desired animation! Continue duplicating and repeating these steps for however m...

animator from karmatoons, he had worked in projects like "Bugs Bunny's 50th Birthday Special"
and many other. Check the tutorial here: DRAWING FOR CLASSICAL ANIMATION ...

make your computer run a little faster. You can shut off the animation displayed when you minimize
and maximize Windows. 1. Open RegEdit 2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control panel
\Desktop\WindowMetrics 3. Create a new string value "MinAnimate". 4. Set the value data of 0 for Off
or 1 for On this should put less stress on your graphics card if you have an older computer....

Hello there! I have experience in flash through art classes in school, and Being a 16 year old on a
low budget, I was curious if there were any flash like programs out there for free? I know free is
pushing it lol... but Im desperate and my creative imagination needs to be released. I'm just
looking for something that has the basic feel and capabilities of flash. Im looking for something
that will be vector based, will animate, and will allow sounds to be added into the background! Any
information would be awesomely appreciated! Thanks much!...

Welcome, Many people feel they want to learn animation and want to do those animated effects. Most
people think animation is very hard, but the fact is it isn’t at all. I thought that if I created a
tutorial it would help people ion this situation to understand these basics of animation and how
easy it really is once you spend some time with the piece of software you use whether it’s
Macromedia MX Flash or something else, I use ImageReady, part of Adobe Photoshop and is very useful
for animating. I wrote this tutorial for beginners wanting to learn the basics of Animati...

Alrighty, Someone had some interest in this sig i created where a window slides back and forth
showing a clear part of a blurred picture. So i figured i would make a tutorial out of it. We
start off in photoshop. Create a new blank picture thats 500x100. Next add whatever you would like
to the canvas.. this is the picture i will be using: Now that you have you picture ready, save
it as a jpeg, and call it clear. Now that you have saved that, in photoshop go to
image>adjustments>desaturate. This will make your image black and white. Once you have done that,
go t...

the best way to animate is to get out microsoft's paint get screen ripping program get paint.net
use microsoft's paint (original paint) as a story board use screen ripping program to take the
picture from paint page by page and make it a gif use paint.net to hold parts and to rotate them by
certain degrees (not just 90 or 180) I'm a Youtube director who does this for a living.

Ok, I am creating a short flash movie and I need some help. My first two frames is my loader, a
basic, "IfFrameLoaded; Goto" type function. The next 9 frames is a small animation that I want to
loop for exactly 20.02 seconds, and then I want to move from that animation and background music,
into another animation and background sound. I'm sort of at a loss as to how to do this. Is
there some way I can count the amount of time that a flash file has been loaded, and then have it
switch to another layer with the other animation and sound on it? A "Goto; Layer 2, Frame ...

I was reading an article on suspended animation (when animals go into like hibernation - some even
"die" and are resurrected :/) and how scientists are trying to find how they can give this ability
to humans. /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />
It was talking about how a certain chemical, Hydrogen Sulfate, could cause animals (when given in
non-lethal doses) to go into hibernation or even "die"! Within a day or so, the scientists would
rose the animal. An example the article described was how by lowering the oxygen ...

I've got a gif that I want to reverse the animation on. Normally, I would do this by hand, but
this gif in particular has about 600 frames, so I'm not so eager. Is there any sort of program
that could do this for me? I use MGI videowave III and Ulead Gif Animator and neither have anything
to reverse the way the frames move, at least nothing that I am aware of. Any help would be
appreciated. Different programs I could use or a different method within the programs I already
have. Thanks!...

Okay, So I'm alright in flash as it is. But I was curious how you made a button move... like a
mouse over effect for instance where something robotic pops out of a button on mouse over. Any
takers?...

Hello folks. I just thought I would share one of my favorite cartoonists that you may not have heard
of before. He is Winsor McCay, who was most famous for his Sunday Paper cartoon "Little Nemo In
Slumberland" back between 1905 up through 1915. Just recently, I've been looking more into some
of the things he did in his life and I bought a dvd with early animation shorts he did, some of
which are amazing even to today's standards. Winsor McCay, to put it simply, did it "the hard
way." Hand drawing hundreds and sometimes thousands of individual pictures to make h...

First attempt at a stop motion animation with my Sony Handycam. Basically, it's a smaller can
being bullied by a larger can, and the smaller can crushing the larger can with a Darth Vader type
