    Here is my first animated signature... I made it in Adobe ImageReady in about 2 hours.

    I made this quickly for a friend so don't judge too harshly.

    you should learn how to tween.....it makes your transitions way way way smoother!

    It would look better if they blended in a little better...and I think your sig is too big. Correct me if I'm mistaken.

    So I fixed up the first one and added two more. The halo one with the light beam was inspired by a tut that I did that created something like the sig I have on my sig gallery page. Other than that I hope you enjoy them!

    The animation on the red one is painfully slow.

    I'll speed it up but I wanted to tween it so it wasnt as choppy and I only added 2 frames. I'll remove one though.



    Edit: I just realized there's two red ones... Which did you mean?

    You've definently improved your animations. Good job. You may want to make the last one quicker. Although doing that would require a whole lot of frames to make it look smooth, It would look great.


    Edit:: Never mind..the last one is fast enough. But if you made more frames and such like I said above it would look even better.

    You don't need a whole lot of frames to make a smooth animation. The frames you have at the moment are probably sufficient. You just need to decrease the frame durations by a lot and it should be pretty smooth. Give it a try.

    Okay... I'll do that later though. I was supposed to be reading "Great Expectations" all day but I kinda blew it off so I have to make up for it.

    Sorry if I was wrong, I haven't used animations much but the way I had it pictured was that if you had more frames then you would have less of the overhang that you see fade into the picture.

    Yes, but if you animate pixel-by-pixel, the animation will be slow, even if every frame is set to a duration of 0 milliseconds. You need to find a balancing point somewhere in the middle.
