Try the freeware JAnimation Shop in the source link. It is very similar to Jasc Animation Shop, which is commercial software.

You can use Adobe Photoshop to convert video to animated gif. I really like using Photoshop because you have tons of options.\n\nThere are several other softwares that can accomplish this as well. I've listed several worthwhile links to performing this below.\n\nGood Luck.

Normally those things are just an animated GIF (which is a type of picture).\n\nFirst, you would have to find two pictures (one scary, and one not).  Then you would need to use a GIF animation tool to take those 2 pictures and create 1 animated GIF.\n\nShould be fairly straight forward.  \n\nI would do a search at download.com for "gif animation" to find a program that can do it.  Look for one that is freeware.

You can buy the software photoshop cs2 or download it at download.com. You can also use iconator animator. You can also download many programs on www.download.com when you type animation and try them for free but there are time limits. hope this helps

How do I animate an inanimate object?

There are a couple of ways. (1) open in paint -- the little free windows program and save it as a .gif. The windows click art is probably a .wmf file. (2) copy it and paste it into a graphics program, crop if necessary and save it as a gif. There are several free/trial programs you could use if you don't own graphics software.

You could create a .gif file based slideshow and then upload that as your main picture. There are many free softwares available online that lets you create gif animations.

I recommend ACD See. It's user friendly and can convert all of your GIFS to JPEGS all at once (depends on how fast your computer is). Just go to www.acdsystems.com/products and you can download a trial version of it. It's fun to use for those who scan their comics and just read them in their computer.

Only gif files can be animated, not jpeg. I use PhotoPlus, which is a free program you can use to easily make animated jpegs. For each screen in the animation just import the gif you want to put in that moment, and you can also edit them in a variety of ways.

I will use Adobe Premier or Macromedia Flash\n\nIf you are not familiar with those tools, you can use simple programs like Gif Animator, Swish.\nalso you can download form "www.downlaod.com"\n\nby:\nMkamal

You can convert them in .ico using any software like irfan view .. but you will not be able to see the animation what you can see as in GIF .. \n\nthere are some software which keep changing icon and giving an illusion of animated icon , but they utilize a lot of memory. \n\nIf you just want to create icon from gif file then Irfan View is the perfect tool .. its also free ..
