Import and Export Gifs

KoolMoves supports import of static GIFs with and without transparency. It does not support import of animated GIFs at this time.

Use an application found at www.segon.com to convert your animated GIF into a SWF file. Then use import swf as an object to bring the converted gif into your KoolMoves animation.

KoolMoves does not directly support output of animated GIFs at this time. To convert a KoolMoves created swf to an animated gif, you might try Magic Swf2Gif at itinysoft.com.

There are a number of other specialized products for creating animated GIFs. Ulead makes a nice product called Gif Animator. There are also free products. See http://msdownload.microsoft.com/msdownload/gifanimator/gifsetup.exe, a simple free GIF animator from Microsoft, and from the makers of Game Maker, a very easy to use game creation and developement environment, http://www.cs.uu.nl/~markov/kids/gmaker/index.html.

Capture the KoolMoves animation as a series of screen images using File > Export Movie > Capture Movie Frame and import the image files into your favorite gif creation tool. With some of the free GIF animators you may need to convert the captured images into GIF format using a graphic editor.
