CrossFade

CrossFade is one of the greatest WebFX effect. This effect will allow you to create smooth fades between pictures, creating a very eye-catching animation.
Here there is a very smart example of CrossFade Effect:

The GUI related to the CrossFade Effect is very simple to use, and will guide you through the whole process for the creation of the animation.
Take a look at the GUI:

The interface couldn't be simpler.

• First of all, you have to Drag & Drop the images inside the ListView at the top of the Window. If you don't like Drag & Drop you can always use the Add gadget which will open an usual File Requester.
• Then you have to specify the Destination File Name of the animation you are going to create. As usual, you can always Drag & Drop an existing file, which will be overwritten.
• With the Frames gadget, you must specify how many transition frames will be created for the animation: please, note that this number of frames does not include the Make Ping Pong frames that will be generated if Ping Pong is active.
• After you have set up also the final Width, Height and Number of Colours you are ready to press the Execute! button to create the animation.

Some Tips

• Even if WebFX is able to automatically scale the pictures for you, we suggest you to have all the pictures of the same size before creating the CrossFade animation. This will produce a better result.
• You can use CrossFade in a lot of ways, not just to swap pictures here and there. For example, fading a picture with a White Box will produce a very kind appear effects, and taking this effect to the limit, you can produce an animation very close to this one:
  
• Consider also the use of Ping Pong which will allow you to save time creating good looping animations.
