Animations in SS
Thursday, October 30, 2003 by Bones2112 | Discussion: Skinning
Has anyone had the opportunity to check out the animations feature in SS. If so, could you please give some tips on how to make them? It says they are in avi format, never messed with avi's before 
Thanks
Thanks

With regards to the AVIs with a red background, and the top left magic pink pixel, I think windows works by using whatever colour the top left pixel is to determine the transparency for the AVI. So technically, the transparent colour could actually be a magic anything - hence some are red.
I think !!

I think you might be right RogueJay. I'm not entirely clear on that part of it.

Well I have try every setting on GIF Animator and the file doesnt work. It looks choppy, colors are messed up and when I apply it to the skin in SS it gives me an error and when it doesnt give me the error only half of the animation shows.
I try editing the default windows animation and save it to .avi thru GIF Animation and the result is the same.
I even try importing one of Pixtudio's file and save it as .avi and I got the same result.
No luck on this side of the screen >
I think the SS developers should've added a small tutorial for this new feature
