I don't THINK this was mention in the video o.o; please don't yell at me in poetic way stating how much you dislike me if it was in fact stated in this, or either of the 3 parts. >_<

But I have Adobe Ps Elem. 6.0, would it have the animation option like in your Adobe Ps CS4 has, or no? I have a feeling not, but I just wanted to ask to make sure.

@BlueNeu25 Lol Im not that much of a bitch am I? At least I hope I dont come across that way.

Elements is essentially a simplified version of Photoshop, but PS hasnt had an animation option until its more recent versions so I would imagine your program doesnt unfortunately. If you'd like an animating program I suggest downloading Pencil 2d, a free animating software available on the internet. Google it and you should find it ^^

@horsesrmylife78 If you right click the paintbrush icon you will find the pencil ;)

@artkitten137 its cool >< i was also really confused when i got my mac at first, but later on its really easy! the only problem is that my setup is different from the default setup. i believe that the timeline is at the top left next to the preview (where it shows the video :3) go to the apple website, they have really good tutorials!

[artkitten137]

@OokamiSeishina i know i sound stupid aas pie, but how do u get the timeline? i know, i know as much as platapus. but i REALLY need this help, and your the only person that is responding to my stupid questions.

[OokamiSeishina]

@artkitten137 well, what i do is i open finder and go to the picture and drag it over to the imovie timeline (for some reason you cant import them..) i do that with all of the animation frames the i think double click them and set the time to .1

[artkitten137]

@OokamiSeishina how do u put in in imovie? i tried but i can't do it. any tips?
