Adobe ImageReady, among other programs, can be used to make animated gifs.\n\nThere is a tutorial for making animated gifs with ImageReady 3.0 here:\nhttp://www.albany.edu/cetl/resources/howtos/animation.html\nAnd one that may be more up-to-date, since 3.0 is pretty old now:\nhttp://www.informit.com/guides/content.asp?g=photoshop&seqNum=206&rl=1

flash is great but i recently found Microsoft Producer for Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003. the latest version of this popular add-on for Microsoft PowerPoint. If you have powerpoint 2003 then th add-on is free.\n\nso you can hook up a microphone and discuss something and move your mouse around and point to whatever you want to display ect.\n\nbasicaly it's a audio/video screen capture. then you can embed this movie in the webpage as a tutorial on navigating through your site or whatever you wish.

I'm pretty sure you can't add sounds to GIFs! Let alone with Photoshop? (I've never used Photoshop) If you want sound, you'll need to make a SWF which is a flash animation plus so much more depending on your creativity! \n\nIf Photoshop doesn't have an export as SWF feature, I'm sure there are freeware programs available that will let you create swf's (do a search)  Otherwise, grab yourself a copy of Macromedia Flash, or Swish (only ones I know about).

Try Easy Screen Capture Video (ESCV)  - it's free to try - and extremely easy to use.  Setup the Power Point Presentation as a show - ESCV will capture the screen image and convert it to an avi file format.  Pretty cool stuff ... good luck!  Here's the link: http://www.easyscreencapturevideo.com/

I think they mean animated gifs.  \nThey show as a static picture, not as an animation as they should.\nI have that problem at work.\nAnyone know how to fix it?

first of all the best thing you have to do is, capy paste the song to the harddick, then it's fast and clear when it's playing as the background music of the slideshow.\nIf you want to insert an audio clip after clicking the a slide, then go to Insert->Movies and Sounds->Sound from File, the browse it. Then a small speaker logo is on the slide, once you click that the audio will play. But that will play only on that Slide, not in all the slides, as a background music.\nSo the best thing to do, as I said before copy the audio track the the harddisk(Make sure you made it a WAV. file, not mp3.). In powerpoint, click on the first slide and then go to slide show->slide transition. On the right hand side "slide Transition Window" you'll see "modify transition". In the Sound browse you track and check the "loop until next sound". Remember, you have to this only for the first slide of the presentation. \n\nHope this reached you by time and it helped you. Good luck with your presentation.

Don't mind picasa, just store the pictures on ur hard drive, then open power point, there open a blank presentation & click the insert button on the toolbar & select picture option & in that select from file.\n\nCreate a newslide for every new picture & repeat the process.

There are lots of tools out there.  Apparently they all involve:\n1 - extracting each of the images that make up the animation as a separate image\n2 - editing the images you would like to change\n3 - reassembling the animated gif from the edited images\n\nThis link discusses some editing tools, some of which are free.\nhttp://www.gifworks.com/\n\nThis link discusses how do to it with a tool called banner-maker:\nhttp://www.banner-maker.net/help/ht_edit.htm\n\nAnd here are detailed instructions on how to create a gif animation in the first place:\nhttp://members.aol.com/royalef/gifmake.htm\n\nHope this helps!
