    Default Creating animated gifs in P&GD2013

    In looking over a very impressive collection of video tutorials at http://www.xara.com/us/resources/designerprox/, I came upon one called "Creating Animated GIFs" that was supposedly about doing this in Photo & Graphic Designer and Designer Pro. I clicked on the link, hoping to find out how to create animated gifs in Photo & Graphic Designer 2013. However, the link only took me to a page that offered Xara's three introductory tutorials (which I have already watched) and several YouTube videos, none of which had a title indicating anything about animated gifs. Can anyone tell me where I would find the animated gifs video? I've attached a small screenshot of the listing for the tutorial.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    try clicking on the video icon twice and see if that gives you what you want.

    Thanks, Larry, but it doesn't seem to matter whether I double-click on the title (link) or on the video icon, nor does it matter whether I click fast or slowly. In all cases, I'm taken to the same page I mentioned in my initial message. Before I posted that message, I tried clicking on one or two other resources on the resources list page, and in those cases I was taken to a page where the specific video was ready to play. Perhaps there's something wrong with the Animated GIFs link.

    when I clicked the link on Xara.com you show in your screenshot it took me to this page where I was able to watch the video http://www.xara.com/uk/products/desi...s/14435.42175/

    Thanks, angelize, for your response. I'm completely puzzled. After reading your message, I tried again--this time with three different browsers: Firefox 14, Opera 12, and IE 9. All of them continued to do what I had reported earlier. None of them took me to the page whose URL you've kindly provided. That page is the right one, but the only way I am able to get to it is to click on the link in your message. This seems very strange. But thank you for providing the link.

    That does sound strange indeed I am using Google Chrome and it works fine for me, I have also tested this in IE9 and had no problems there either I am now baffled too.

    I just tested the link in firefox and safari and it worked in both. So the mistery continues.

    I know lets get Mr. Click image for larger version.

    cyberqueen you may not understand this joke. It goes back a long ways and may not be easy to explane.

    Thanks, Larry, for confirming angelize's findings. I have no idea why I'm getting different results. Oh well...

    And you're right--I don't understand the joke, even though I too go back a long ways.

    Mostly it is a joke between Rik and me. The scribble was from a scribble challenge and the joke started with Rik's reply.

    edit: one time James caged him and once in a while I let him out.
