# Platypus Animator

Introduction | Components | Toolbar

Platypus Animator lets you turn series of images into AVI animations. You can also add sound to your animations.

To create an animation:
| Import (or paste from the clipboard) all the images (BMP, DIB, GIF, TIF, TGA, JPG, PCX, RLE)
| Place the images in proper order
| Add a sound file (optional)
| Specify AVI settings, and
| Create the AVI file.

If you are likely to change any of the images used in the animation, you can create an AVI project file. AVI project files contain paths to all the images comprising the animation, and provide an easy way to re-create AVI files.
Selecting 'Edit/Options' off the menu lets you choose an AVI compressor and specify its options. For transparent backgrounds we suggest 'Intel Indeo(R) Video Interactive'.
Images of different sizes sometimes cause rendering problems. For best results, make all the images the same size.
