    I want to take a series of images and have them play like a movie, but I don't know how. I know that I need to make the images into gifs, but from there I don't know. If someone know how let me know. If it requires software then can someone do it for me? I can take the pictures myself or upload the film clip to my fileshare.

    I plan on using Halo 3's theater, then going onto bungie.net and saving the pictures to my hardrive. Then I'm going to use Photoshop Elements 2 to crop and save the images as gifs. I'll take the pictures in sequential order, but I don't know how to make them animated.

    If it was GIMP, I'd be able to help you.

    You want something along the lines of this?

    Thank you very much. I'm not sure if my version of photoshop has that animation feature, but I'll look into if. If I don't maybe I can have someone help me. I'll just pm them the pictures I want animated.

    Alternatively you could record a very short video and capture it using a card or gamevee
    then you can go to media-convert.com and convert it into a gif with whatever frame rate you want

    I don't know if it works in elements but in CS+ you should go to view>animations. Then a toolbar should pop up at the bottom of the screen. Put all the screenshots in one document on different layers and hide them all. Now for each animation layer, unhide one document layer. When you have done each layer, you can change how long each picture is shown by clicking the little upsidedown triangle on each layer in the animation toolbar.

    Why take screenshots and make them into an animation? Just upload the video clip and you can save it as a .GIF.

    Because apparently he doesn't want a video. Just a bunch of pics that show in sequential order.
