    To be honest, it was the software side of it that i was after, i want to end up with gifs. I am not doing any stop-motion pictures or anything

    XP's "Windows Movie Maker" is what i tend to use for such things to scale down mpegs to the clip i want in my animated movie/banner. i then use JASC Animationshop 3 (which allows you to import AVI's etc.) to make it into a gif and resize it

    good luck!

    The animation forum was suggested as the folks there might have some ideas and it'd get more eyeballs..

    "Window Media Player files" ... what format? .wmv?
