Title: Animation footage question
Post by: Anita Potter on November 12, 2010, 10:35

I tried searching the internet the other day but came up with nothing.  I would like to try my hand at animation footage but can't find a tutorial on the subject anywhere.  Would like to find one with information about making it for stock but all I could find were tutorials on how to animate photos for stock which isn't what I was looking for.

Any help or pointing me in the right direction would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Anita

What application are you using?  Do you have specifics on what you want to do?

Do you mean, take a still photo and then animate it in some fashion?

 That's what I'm trying to figure out is what software would be good to use for animation.  Vector animation not photo animation.  Can't seem to find any information other than making gifs and that's not what I want to do.  Not sure what software would be good for that.

Flash.

Or After Effects.

But you'd get better answers with a better answer of "what you want to do?" than just "vector animation".

Sorry I had people bothering me this morning and couldn't complete a thought.  All of my Adobe software is out of date.  My After Effects is back to version 5.5 so I'm not sure if that program would be acceptible up to todays standards.  My Flash version is back to Flash 5 (and trapped on a hd I have to cable to get it off of yet).  Stock animation is what I'm after not regular video footage.  Nothing totally complicated just yet something like keyframe animation that I'm sure Illustrator probably can't handle (but I need to learn it's capabilities further before I make this presumption).

I'm not sure what else I should ask since this is a new field for me that I would like to learn about.

I'll probably search the internet later for After Effects tutorials.

Thanks :)
