Download/HomepageIf anyone saw my recent unhappy review of a gif
animator; then take heart, I DID it! Just like I promised! I
found a "graphic-animator-for-dummies", [just like the
books]; and I can use it and I'm loving it!
Unless you're real good with computers, you'll be like me, not
very technical. [To me a utility is the gas company, the
department of water and power, or that reading railroad.] When I
do find a utility that will allow me to use it without 3 manuals,
a dictionary, and a service person, this is a well explained and
well written program.
I comes with a bunch of regular and java based examples of
animation The directions are a little technical, but not too bad.
One problem though, I tried to print the docs, and the print came
out so tiny I couldn't read it. I have been using my printer all
night, so I don't think its broke, but I can't think what could
be with the program that would make it unprintable; but I'm
having so much fun playing with the special effects, I don't want
to go read my printer manual again-please don't make me.
Once you import in a image, [gif, bmp and jpg so far and it said
you could draw your own], then comes the fun part. It has 23
different effects, which is for a single image file; or 26
transitions, which are for 2 images. Each one of these give
whatever picture a different look, some of which are strange,
some of which are quite beautiful.
One last positive feature; the usability is such that even the
kids [well, not TOO young] can play with this. You might have to
explain parts of the help file [or leave a dictionary lying
around] but, be careful, before you know it, the kids creations
will be better than yours; and that will mean yet one more
"wasted day" sitting in front of the computer all day,
muttering, "I think I can, I think I can".
Take my word for it, this one is worth the time; and, also worth
the money.
