Can anyone tell me how those little animated movie graphics are made? You know the ones you can cut & paste?

Question

It seems simple enough, I'd just like to know what programs are used. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can use this free online Photoshop-like graphics editor that has great effects and animation tools.  Make sure all your images are of the same size and upload them in the order you want them to animate.  You can adjust the timing (frame rate) any time you want and check the results.

A good free graphics editor to use for resizing, edit regular images (not animation):

Answer 2

Sure. Those little animated pictures are called GIFs (Graphics interchange format) and the best program(s) to create one would be to use Adobe's Photoshop and Imageready. Draw your picture in photoshop, add animation in imageready.

Hope this helps.
