Create animation with staic images

[JoeB]

...and when we talk for frames picture frame is different from video frame?

Yes they are different and have different meanings. From these posts I can see that you are speaking about video frames - that is, about the individual images that are run together to give the effect of motion, which is what a video is. A picture frame is simply a frame that you put around a single image, just like the frame around a painting or picture that you hang on your wall except in PSP it's a digital frame around a digital image. PSP has some picture frames that you can add to images. You'll find them when you click on the menu item Image and then select Picture Frame... from the expanded menu that appears.

Levifiction the hartpaul told me that i can import the static images to VS to create animation.i don't care if is animated gif.simply i want to create sort clips with animated handwritting.the conlcusion is that with PS and and another software can i do it?also i am confused about this :to photoshop we working with pictures frames or video frames?a frend of mine told me that take a short screenshots videos and with then create animated

Then yes, simple answer, VideoStudio can do that. If you're just looking to animate and don't care what format the final result is in GIF, Video, etc. then VS can produce videos of animations. MotionBuilder3D can also produce animations. Free video editors can produce animations. I don't know how easy it is to animate handwriting in VisualStudio but it should be possible.

Photoshop imports the video then splits the video into individual images. So you're working with a video frame that was converted to a regular picture inside Photoshop.

How can run together individual pictures to create the effect of motion joeb?

First you need many many pictures each of the same scene but with slight difference in movement between pictures -- do you have that ???

if yes then just put them all into the timeline of videostudio one after the other and when you play you will see animation

OR

I am beginning to think you only have one still image and you want to make that move - is that so ?

can be done but involves very much work

AND

you commented earlier that you had asked in the videostudio forum and were not satisfied with the non answer so I did a search and found you had asked the same question a number of times over the last few years and every time you received a number of replies and suggestions but yet here you are asking again, Read the previous Videostudio topics again from the links below

PSP7 came with Animationshop 3.0 (back in the JASC days). It linked gif files, among other things. Have things changed in the interim? Is AS3 available free on the web as abandonware?
