Animated GIF Problems

[Soquili]

why not?

Xtreme exports only the objects and not the full page.

The attached was created in Xtreme 5.1 Pro

53 pixels x 38 pixels

Not for me it doesn't. If I use "Export Animation" (I assume that's right) it exports the page and only the page. If any of the objects go off the page they are cropped.

Ah it does in Xtreme Pro 4 though.

Sounds odd Jimi - as Bill shows, works fine from XtremePro 5 too (including the transparent background). Same for me, only the gif size is exported (108x100px), not the page size (480x320px used)



Might be worth while either removing the Xtreme 5 registry tree (it will be rebuilt with defaults when you open Xtreme again) or uninstalling then reinstalling Xtreme 5

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Xara\XtremePro\5.1


The usual warnings apply when editing the Windows registry

Is the 5.1 CD imminent? If so I might wait for that and go for a re-install. I can manage using 4.0 unitl then for animated GIFs.

Sometime in July according to Xara.

We expect to receive the first stock in July 09

This probably means sometime early August at your door

Both Bill and Steve have only used one object in their animation and yes it will export the object only

The complication arises when you have more than one object in your animation - its then that the page size comes into play and clips your output

This is my experience - exactly the same as you in post #17

EDIt - by 'one object' I mean one contiguous set of objects - do you have un-contiguous objects in your animation, if you do that would explain it I think
