Look for programs that use the word "animations". Anyone knowing of a good program please post in this thread. These are two programs that I have been told that work with the Mac GIMP - Free software downloads and reviews - CNET Download.com, and one that sounds more difficult Blender (PowerPC) - Free software downloads and reviews - CNET Download.com

If you test these programs out, please let us know what you think of them. I personally would try the GIMP program first.

For those of you who can't download the program for whatever reason, this site has a free animated gif maker. Just upload the pictures you want to use, and tell them the size. For donating members it's 125 pixels, the largest side, and if square that would be 125 x125, for non-donating members, it's 75 pixels. You can't edit the pictures from the site, but it does group the pictures together in one file. Myspace Animated GIF Generator, Animated GIF Maker.

Could you upload it in the test forum and I could check it out for you. The most common reason for it not to work is it being to large. For donating members the largest side can be no more than 125 pixels, and can have no more than 53Kb.

I'm so excited! I downloaded the program and mean to play around with it soon. Does this program resize pictures so we can get them down to the 200 kb size YT requires? My old photoprogram I used to work in that came with my old printer doesn't really work on my new computer and I've been waiting until I could get into another photo program so I can resize and upload more photos of Tibbe onto YT. I'm excited about making an animated avatar of Tibbe. Thanks, Nancy!

Yes, it does resize in the editing part of the program. You can resize and put text on your pictures along with borders and frames. After you get a picture the way you want it you can open the "AniGif" part of the program and it will group several pictures into one file.

Oh, it sounds perfect and no need after all to purchase a software package! I shall donate to them. I plan to have some fun learning how to use this program and then get adventurous. I can't wait to sparkle something up! Thank you again for the info and link.
