PeterPan Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 I'm looking for a way to include a short animated GIF in my presentations, such as a "cartoon-like" bird flying across the screen.Is there a way to do that in P2E 5.6?Thanks for any help!Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterPan Posted June 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Thanks for your generous offer "THEDOM". Fortunately, I know how to make short animations using multi-frame pictures, but they are so time consuming that I wanted to have a short-cut with GIFs.I'm just curious, how come it's so easy to have animated GIFs in messages here ( ) and not in P2E?Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterPan Posted June 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 The copyright issue with GIF images has been going on mostly during the last century! But, it seems to be over since 15 years! "... As of June 20, 2004, the GIF/LZW-related patents mentioned in this text have expired."Go here, if you want to read the whole text: http://www.cloanto.com/users/mcb/19950127giflzw.htmlNowadays, programmers have made leaps and bounds in other tools, such as PNG (which didn't exist during the "Compuserve era of GIFs" imaging.So, my question is still valid: Is there a way to include GIF images in P2E?Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
