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.

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.

My main point is that in my opinion, most users do not realise the power of Xara animation. We mostly and wrongly assume that it is limited to flash capabilities.

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?
