Is there an easier way to do such a thing?

But I'm really tired so I'm logging off
Oh thanks, I made it in Paint shop animation shop. With that program you can open a movie file. If it's a large full screen movie, it's best to only open a few frames at a time, (20 or so) but a new camera I just got takes smaller u-tube size movies, and I can easily open 100 frames at a time. You can only use about 8 frames (at the most) in the avatar, and the hard part is choosing the frames to use. For some movies this might be every 10th frame you want to use, not every frame. Then you have to set the time for each frame. After you choose the frames you want to use, you can crop the animation with that program too, and then resize it to Yorkietalk's specifications. The hard part was adding the TV screen.
