Capturing images from other programs You can create cartoons or other types of animation just by recording what you are doing with any other software (word processor, table calculator, picture viewer, imaging or design software for example), and reproduce them at your preferate speed which can be very slow (changing image every 2 or 10 seconds for example) or up to a cinema rate such as 30 images per second. Open an image - its compulsory, bu you will allways be able to delete it later! open the preset wizard indicate the number of frames you want to capture, choose the "Screen Capture" preset, and the Screen Capture box will appear: Switch to any other program (for example using Alt + Tab), and press the "Print Screen" key of your keyboard as often as you wish. Every time, a new image will be added to your Popims animation.( using Alt at the same time limits the capture to the active window), When you have finished, go back to Popims Animator, where you will find again the Screen Capture box. Click on "Done" to terminate the capture process. Use the selection button and crop your images if necessary. You may now save your cartoon using any of Popims Animator methods: as a Popims animation file (pim file) , Advanced version only a video file , an animated GIF file , Advanced version only a sequence of image files , or as an interlaced image to be printed and viewed with a Popims Screen. But, before that, you may also add intermediate images by morphing , by wharping or using any of Popims Presets . http://www.popims.com contact@popims.com
