Change Size, Speed and Other Properties

When you make an animation many default settings are used to guess at the result that you want. Commonly you will not be satisfied with these settings and will want to change them. You can assess these setting through the Options menu.

Animation size

Every image inside an animation must be the same size for the animation to be built successfully. You have a choice of using the image in the first frame as the trend setter or you can set the width and height directly.

If an image is not the correct size Antechinus Animator Professional will prompt you for a solution.

You can

• skip the image,
• resize it
• centre the image
  • trims it evenly from all sides (common for photos) if too big
  • leaves a border around the outside if too small. The color is selected by clicking on the color bar
• crop it (if it is too big) and test where you want the image to start.
  • (x= -10) will remove 10 pixels from the left hand side.
  • (y = -20) will remove the top ten pixels.

If you want to use the same solution for all out of size images you can click the check box on the bottom left of the dialog box, otherwise you will be asked to solve the problem for every image that is oddly sized.
