Guest diesel_jim Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Can anyone recommend some good software that i can use to make a "moving icon" type thing.... We've got decent company logo's, i want to be able to make them "spin" or "rotate" and maybe blend into another icon, and add some text, maybe some other flashy things, depending on what the software can do, then save the lot as something like an mpeg (its to go on video jukeboxes that we supply) cheers y'all!

cipx2 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 A 'moving icon' type thing is called "animated gif", named like this because is a *.gif file. I believe you're looking for some free software ... I can recomend the well known GIMP, http://www.gimp.org There are plenty of howto's on the net, just google for <animated gif gimp > or alike. Here are some examples: http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Simple_Animations/ http://www2.geo.uib.no/tips/Gimp/ or the gimp forum http://www.gimptalk.com/forum/topic/tutori...-gif-171-1.html Have fun ...
