Need help with animations

[Lewis.]

To make my animations i use animation shop 3 and i would really like to know how to get rid of the huge gap above and under the animation, like on my avatar! I would then like to know how to put writing on the animation so it goes on every slide? Could someone please help? x x x

Use the crop tool
Its near the paint bucket and stuuf :spin2:

Thanks Chewy! does anyone else know how to put writing on it? so that it automatically goes on every frame x

Ok, when you have all the frames open, click the little Icon that looks like a blank sheet of paper
- click ok on the next bit
- A little frame should open, just one by itself
- Click the text icon and select the likkle frame
- Write the thing and press ok
- Go on where all the other frames are and click CTRL and A on the first one
- Click back on the normal mouse icon
- Press edit at the top, and select propagate paste
The click on tex and drag onto the animation

Original thanks go to Niko for teaching me this

Btw.. I told Chewy ^.^

So it's just wisdom being passed on :tongue:

Chewy is quite an expert now! :)

Nicky may have a shorter way, but this is how I'm guessing you do it for text. If you're going to paste the text in, first duplicate it by the amout of frames there are in the animation and then just click CTRL + A and it'll highlight evey frame for the text. Then click CTRL + A on the animation one and it'll highlight every frame and drag the text onto the animation and it'll go onto every frame.

That's how I used to do it for heart animations and stuff on banners but I'm not sure if its used for text.

Mine is a ickle bit shorter.. Nicky's way is you open up all the frames, then open a new frame up (just 1) then press Crtl+A to select all the frames on the animation, click on the frame on it's tod (with your text on) then press edit > propagate paste > then drag it onto your animation :)

Edit - what Chewy said but less detailed xD :tongue:
