My First Animated Gif
When i got Paint Shop Pro, i was unaware that an animation program was also included for free. below is my first ever creation (though 56k users will have to be patient as it will take a minute or so to load), it is a big one (larger than i thought it would be) weighing in at a hefty 850k but i created it by exploiting an MPEG file i had on my PC, hope you like as it is my first proper attempt...

[Mod edit] 850k is a bit too big, sorry.

Yep, the new sport for toffs, sweet chewing :)

I hate being an utter cunt, as this is most entirely woosome
but anything over 250k really should be linked

No, seriously,
i only discovered the program today and this was my first proper attempt after spending a few mins just learning to to use it

erm, I wasn't being sarcastic
I don't think it needs the 'for a first go' qualifier :P

I like it
but you can probably get by with half the frames and half the colors.

Otherwise, it's probably best to link to it, rather than post it.

/edit: I'm on 5Mbit, so it comes up in a flash for me! ;-)

So...
what did u do to the mpeg?

The program..
allowed me to shrink it/change the length as the original was much longer/turn it into a usable web gif instead of a large MPEG and therefore create something super-cool

OK...
just wanted to clarify that nothing was added/removed/altered in the actual footage.
(that'smyknighthoodoutthewindow, Tue 1 Mar 2005, 22:39, archived)

so basically you converted it to a gif?
ok...
