Open your images, in the GIF format, in the Animation Shop.
In our example we will barely use
three
images as a base to produce our animation and guarantee a reasonably
light movie in the end of the work - to complete the first step
of this work, open the Animation Shop, click on File/ Animation
Wizard and follow the indications, screen to screen: "same
size as the first image frame, and Advance/ Opaque, and
Advance/
Upper left corner of the frame, With the canvas color, and
Advance/
Yes, repeat the animation indefinitely, 30, and
Advance/
Add Image - by clicking on this command you will be in conditions
to locate and select the three images that will be our animation
base; to do that, begin by selecting the third one, the second
one and finally the first one, in that order; click on Advance
and Conclude. Your work area, in AS, will be like this:
2
Clique on the animation first frame (barely on the first one),
to select it; in succession, in the menu bar, click on Effects/
Insert Image Transition - in the screen that opens, do the configurations
as follows:
3
In the screen above, notice the "Customize" button,
that will offer you the possibility to define the page curl
position. Take a look:
4
At this point our animation fulfilled the first phase, but is
still crippled - barely the two first images, the blue balloon
and the yellow one, will be functioning as we desire - unfortunately
the yellow balloon is not communicating itself with the following
image, the green balloon, to carry out the page curl; to correct
that, let's to the second step: in your animation, click on
the last frame from the image of the yellow balloon to select
it; we will then make the yellow balloon communicate with the
green balloon (the third image). Confer the print in reduced
size, where the selected is the frame 9 ("F:9"):
5
Continuing, repeat the above procedures (click
Effects/ Insert Image Transition),
just to create an animation between the last frame of the yellow
balloon and the green balloon - you will have a better animation,
in this way.
6
And now, is it finished? Click on "View/ Animation"
to test the movie. We will verify, then, that our movie is still
crippled - there's not the last part: the animation of the green
balloon being 'curled' over the blue balloon, to avoid that
undesirable 'stop' at the end of the animation's movement. If
you followed all of this tutorial's steps over here, knows well
from what I'm talking about. And then, what do we do? Follow
the next step!
7
Click on the first animation frame to select it (the frame that
initiates the animation: the first blue balloon). Notices that
the animation, at this point, created an extra frame identical
to the first one from the blue balloon, and shows it next to
the other one. In succession click in Edit/ Cut to copy that
frame to the Clipboard, at the same time that you delete it
from the animation.
8
Locates the last animation's frame, more exactly the frame with
the green balloon, that is isolated down there, and without
'communication' with no other frame, and click on it with the
mouse secondary button; in the menu that opens, choose the option
"Paste/ After Current frame" - the frame with the
blue balloon will be inserted in the movie, as the last animation's
image. Click on the frame previous to this, more exactly in
the last green balloon's frame (to select this frame), and do
the same procedures you did before to curl the green balloon
over the blue one.

Oh... Now yes! Our movie runs nice and complete! But it still
can be better... Look how it is: make a revision in all the
animation's frames , and delete (click on the frame to select
it and press the 'delete' key), all those frames that in the
change between the colors of the balloons, are duplicated -
they are unnecessary to the animation itself, and still leave
it much more heavy as desirable. In fact, the kind of frame
that uses to be duplicated is always similar to the frame "F:16",
blue balloon, that can be seen in the 'print' above. Test the
results by clicking on "View/ Animation".
Look below the partial take from the animation in reduced size
, where the duplicated frames were highlighted (with blue borders)
and selected for exclusion:
Your movie is ready! And was worth the effort, wasn't it? Save
your work as GIF.
Tip:
if
you want to improve the time delay for the first frame of each
new image, set a bigger time amount for that frame: click on
the frame with the mouse secondary button/ Frame properties
and define, in the screen that opens (see the graphic down)
a bigger numeral in the adequate field. Look graphic down, and
after, an example of the same movie with the 'stop' between
the new images.
