|  | This was accomplished using the Zoom Capture tools in PTV Studio The Scriptwriter allows you to superimpose a transparent foreground animation series onto a solid background animation. This animation, a typical hallway, was made with PTV Studio. Click on the man. It was made using the capture tools under the zoom button. The box, is the camera. You just move the camera along and capture frames as you go with the click of the button. Then just make a gif out of them. If you wanted to make a cartoon, you would paste a man into the center of each frame. The man always stays in the center of the camera in animation, and the background moves. The nice thing about the Scriptwriter in the Deluxe Edition, is that it pastes the man into the first animation for you. Not only that, the man can be moving. And there can be a lot of other people and things moving at the same time. Just like on TV. We then add the foreground images using The Scriptwriter. In this simple example we just used two frames of a man who looks like he is pushing a cart and you have a few seconds of film. How easy is that? Click on the man to see the animation If you are serious about GIF or even making your own short movies, you want the Deluxe Edition. The frames it makes, can be loaded into Windows Movie Maker, and made into a WMV Windows movie file for the Internet. Then you can add sound. You could even make your own animated TV series. Or you can make an animated GIF file and use it on web pages. This animation in the leftmost column, is actually an AVI movie file, displayed in a web page but it could just as easily be in GIF format. The hallway is a gif file. Personal TV Studio also has an example movie script. Look for it in the HTML editor templates.
