how to animate

So, you've read the previous post and have some frames all ready to be animated, right?  good!  Now, let's go over how to animate your icon.

1. go to www.iaza.com and hit the big upload button:

Now, upload the first frame of your icon and hit 'load.'  your screen should now look like this:
click 'frame animation.'

something like this should show up.  upload the other frames in the CORRECT ORDER.

Now, go down to the bottom of the site.  set how fast you want your icon to be and how many times you want it to loop.  (I suggest 1/10 for speed and infinity for loop)

click 'convert.'  A screen with your icon, now animated, should pop up.

right click the animation and click 'save image as.'  You can also click 'frame animation' to change the speed if it's going too fast or too slow.

If you save it, a window will pop up asking you where you want to save it.  save it to your pictures, and you're done!

I hope this helps!

the steps

1. get a template (or you can freestyle your own) and paste it into paint

2. Now, color the template!

3. Now, it gets a little trickier.  Zoom in so that you can make sure you get it right and select the first frame so that it looks like this:

4. Right click the selected part and hit 'copy.'  Now, open another paint and paste your first frame there.

Note: MAKE SURE THAT THE FIRST PAINT YOU OPENED DOES NOT GET CLOSED SO THAT YOU WILL STILL HAVE THE OTHER FRAMES IN THE TEMPLATE!!

5. go to 'image' and then 'attributes.'  set your picture at 50x50.  the canvas should shrink so that it fits your frame.

6. Now, save this picture as '1.'  Go back to your colored template and save the rest of the frames in the same way.

Hope this helps!
