I know there are some skilfull folks around here so here we go.
I need a program to make animation in some sort of movie format, so I can edit it etc. My Animation Shop 3 (came with PSP7) can do gif but every time I try to save it in avi it crashes. I've tried updating and reinstalling but I can't get it to work. I also tried a program to convert the gif to avi but it only shows the first picture all the time and the guality came out crap.
So, does anyone know a simple program to make animations, trial versions will do as I need it just for few days.

Please?

i know paint shop pro can do videos, if you go to file, export as gif, each layer will make it a movement so.. i didn't know about that until a while ago, but if you make each picture a different layer, it will make the movie

dont think it will save it as an avi though..
animation shop has plenty of problems though, mine always crashed
(but that was back before i knew PSP could do animated gifs)

Err..yes, didn't know that, seems interesting, but it doesn't really help. Could be useful with animation with fewer pictures, but as I have something around 200.

It's good to know that I'm not the only one with problems with this program thought. And as said, I can do gifs, but it really has no use for me at the moment.

well i mean there are plenty of gif to avi converters out there, theres actually... billions if you search google

That work? meh, was an idiot and just searched from freeware sites last night

But if anyone knows a program that works 100% guaranteed, please give a name. This trying out different programs is giving a headache.

Yes great idea, but I know it can't do cuts short enough.

Loosing my mind with this, I found many nice converters, but it seems they all mess up the gif and corrupt it, and the timing, ergh. Animation Shop, why couldn't you work

Doesnt Macromedia Flash have an AVI export option?

I'm looking in to that and downloading the trial version.

That's a clever program, could turn gif to avi with no quality loss...excelent. Thanks for the tip ajp!
