Very impressive Anas. So is this a gif animation converted to a video?

Thanks,
This animation is:
✖️ Not possible to be exported as a GIF as it is a tweened animation.
✖️ Not possible to be exported as a SWF flash animation due to the moving bitmaps inside a shape.
✔️ Exported by Xara as an AVI video.
There are 3 unique methods of creating animations in Xara:
⚡️ Flash (with its unique properties).
�� GIF (with its unique properties).
�� AVI (with its unique properties).
The most versatile method is the last one, ie. to export directly as an AVI video.
AVI is even better than [Preview] movie as preview movie can not handle complex tweens such as [blends].
Can anyone tell me why in Salaam #1 I only see his message and nothing else? Call me Mr.Thicky but what am I missing.

He place a video for us to view. I copied the link so perhaps this will help: https://youtu.be/rzfF5BRO5OI.
Thanks very much Boy, appreciated. It is very impressive this vid. and has you pointed out, the movement of the thumb is also excellent.

Anas, I don't believe avi does any tweening. The Xara software does the tweening as per Flash a .swf vector file. An avi file just creates multiple images of the tween and plays them sequentially. Good but BIG file size wise. Example:
I'm glad you all like the thumb.
Eric, I agree but the end result is that an .AVI export will give you a fully tweened rendition, which is often not possible with a flash .SWF file or by viewing the preview. The file size is not a problem as you will always need to convert it to .MP4 which is much smaller and portable anyway.Quote:

Salaam,
I have never done any animation so I have just a very basic understanding of the process. How many frames did you have to develop for this to get the final exported .AVI file?
Ray
Sixteen framesQuote:
