Hello to everybody who reads this.

I am using Xara 3D Maker 7 trial version, seems like I have use of the full program for 7 days.

I want to save my work as a .gif but I am dissapointed by what happens.

I have created animated text and selected a photo as a background however, when I export the file and save it as a .gif only the text appears and the background image of my photo is missing and appears to be a transparent background.

I need to have my photo set as the background with the text animation on top of it.

This is how I was able to set a photo as my background even though it is not included when I export and save as .gif.

I go to "Color options"

In the drop down box inside the color options I selected "Background"

Next to the drop down box there is a box that I put a check mark in that says "Texture"

From here a pop up window appears (Windows Explorer) and I am able to navigate to the root of my photo where I store it on my computer and I selected it.

I need to find out if it is at all possible to save my work the way it appears when I press the play animation button.

Its a shame that my background photo is missing when I export.

Does anybody have a solution to my problem?

Thanks in advance!
