How to Create Instant Animations

With Web Studio 3, you can instantly create animations using any objects on your page

Step 1. Select two or more objects. The order you select them determines the order they will appear in the animation.

Step 2. Drag the Ani-Maker effect from the Special Effects Gallery onto one of the selected objects. Ani-Maker will then ask you for the animation delay (the delay between frames of the animation).

Step 3. Enter a different animation delay (if desired) and click OK. That's it - your animation is ready! To view it in motion, just choose Preview This Page from the Preview menu. If you want to change the animation delay, just double-click on the animation to get the settings dialog back.

You can use Ani-Maker to create animations for serious business purposes (and for fun). Check out these examples:
