How do you make a moveing avator?

[LiquidX]

Does any one know the best program and easiest way to do this from still images using XP. Many tutorials and apps I have found or outdated and someone how has done it would be a great help.


I have a video file or Jacko doing the Moonwalk(coolest thing I ever seen) for the first time which last about 5 seconds.

I know I have to take screen shots of the few seconds then change its size and resolution.......err...but the only thing I know is how to take the screen shots.

Please help I have photshop. camisto studio and a couple more programs at my disposal.


[EDIT] Damn wrong board again...move away!..:confused:, does this then belong in software?:confused:

my advice is.....open each screenshot in photoshop,simply change image size to fit ur needs and then use some program to make animated gif from those screenies.

if ur file is too big.....use image ready to get lesser file size of each screenie.

this shouldn't be the problem......

Thanks alot for telling me about that image ready thing. I have all my frames together but how do I save it has a gif file? I go to save as and the only option is save as a psd file.

Save it as a psd, then EXPORT it as a gif. ;)

You can use any GIF maker or PSP 7 or Adobe..

Thanks guys for all of your input. I was finally able to make my very first moveing avator. I made it with Adobe Image Ready and Photoshop, It took me about 4hrs with alot of screen shots.
