Easier Animation

Many people would like to make their own personalized animations. However, most flash and animation software is geared toward advanced users. Animation Shop 3.05 creates professional-looking work without the hassle. The addition of three wizards within the program guide the user through a few basic steps, and a banner, button or animation is created in minutes. A few samples and basic tutorials can be viewed online.
The Banner Wizard
-
The banner wizard takes you through the process of creating banners and signs. They can be placed on your Myspace page, website or blog. If you already have an idea in mind, the process should only take minutes. The wizard allows you to choose background, text, speed of animation, size and style. The result can be saved in a .gif format and will be animated to twirl, flash or do several other things as determined by you.

The Animation Wizard
-
The Animation wizard brings to life photos, drawings or artwork you already have in your computer. It will guide you through each step toward making an animation. This may be a slide show of your family photos, or a series of drawings you have already designed yourself. If you are familiar with animation already, you can skip the wizard and manually set up frames within a time line. Files created can be made into movie clips or simple animations to be uploaded onto the Internet.
Optimization Wizard
-
Many people are not aware of how much space some complex files take up. Large files may not upload or could slow down your computer. The Optimization wizard enables the user to resize, compress and change the quality of animations before uploading them.You can specify the right dimensions for where your animation or banner is going to fit on your website.
Tools
-
If you would rather not use the wizards, icons within the toolbar of Animation Shop enable you to create animations from scratch. These tools include a paintbrush, eraser, bucket fill and rectangle and line tools. In addition, frame-by-frame concepts can be realized. Many of these tools would be recognizable for animators, as they are used in other design software.
