Animations

[ZeratulStukov]

Okay... So I got the last thread... I'm not willing to spend money on ANY KIND of game or program...
But I can make animations, though not very good.
Currently, I am using Microsoft Power Point 2003 for animations, and it works pretty well... But what I need, is a program to transform .pps files into movie format, I'd like .avi or .mpg , so I can post them on youtube.

You're trying to convert from one thing to another thing in a way that wasn't meant to happen. I doubt you'll find a program that can do that. What kind of animations are you making? You'll see that there's a bunch of software out there that's free and you can make animations.

There's always screen captures and Windows Movie Maker! :P

I have found:

konverter www.logipole.com (Click on the English/Murkan flag on the left to change language from french)

Good luck with anything else, and I don't have any guarantees to anything. Your best bet is editing screencaps in Windows Movie Maker, or this "konverter" thing.

Powerpoint for animations? o_O

Well, I would think instead of converting files, it'd be better to find some free screencapture software and then just play your animation and get a movie file that way.

Ahhh... I knew I shouldn't delete fraps... :( fraps is a free screencapture program that I used before to record in-game play :) ... But now I can't get it, I forgot the link...

You used that before didn't you?

[ZeratulStukov]

Nope, and I don't use pivot :mad: I said I use PowerPoint, and never used or use anything else. Period. :shiftyl::shiftyr:

I think ZeratulStukov is refering to Single slide animation, better known as stop-motion. I'm afraid there is no program that will directly convert .ppt/.pps into movie format, however, as suggested above, you can use the Print Screen button to capture each slide, then make a movie with them using Windows Movie Maker.
Or, if you're lazy, like myself, you could always find easy and free programs to animate directly into movie format on the internet.
