I can play with computer art but I can't draw worth beans.<br />
I came up with this technique to create gifs and thought Id share it with you.<br />
<br />
1. Get any flash maker or java applet creator,limited shareware is ok.<br />
<br />
2. Use the maker to create your flash or Applet.<br />
<br />
3. you will need a registered version of hypersnap<br />
<br />
4. Hypersnap allows you to grab an area of the screen and dump screen grabs to your harddrive in fractions of a second sequentially.<br />
<br />
<br />
5. Leave your creation run on the screen and grab the frames using hypersnap.<br />
<br />
6. send the created frames to animation shop or any gif maker.<br />
<br />
7. Compile your gif and save it.<br />
<br />
8. load it into a good gif optomizer like fireworks if your lucky enough to have it.<br />
<br />
9. optomize your gif to a webable size and resave.<br />
<br />
The above logo was created using this method and is way smaller than the original java applet. Yet it looks and works just as well!. <br />
<br />
Hope you like the tip!<!--content-->That's not bad. Even if you can edit graphics and are arty. Nice method.<!--content-->Nice technique,I will try it out sometime and hey the logo looks real cool
