nice but i need help: when i want to upload it it appear as image and not as animated

[Jordy1191]

Are you saving it correctly? You have to save it as a moving image. GIF.

Perhaps you are merging the layers at the end? Which you shouldn't do.

Only other thing is, where are you uploading it to? Some sites don't accept moving images, some do.

can someone tell me why everything i try to download downloads as a itunes media file.

Change your default player to something else.

Right click, open with, choose the player you want and check the box that asks if you want it to be your default.

Then in future whatever player you chose will be your default.

frist of all good vid..i did all u said in your avatar vid and this one as well...but in this one how do u get the main section the one that don't move?? i can't get it

[Jordy1191]

Ummm, basically, you firstly need to duplicate your non-moving layer. So that you have one non-moving layer for every moving layer. Say you have 12 moving layers, then you need 12 non-moving layers. When you order them, drag a non-moving layer on top of each moving layer. Then merge the two layers together. And do the same with the rest. So say your non-moving layer is blue. And your moving layer is red. Order them like: blue red blue red Then merge them like bluered bluered
