Pic ova animation

how do you use a pic and add a animation to it an animation thats already been done

Open the animation in Animation Shop, select all frames, then go to the menu File - Export Frames - To Paint Shop Pro.

Each frame will be created as a new layer.

Resize the canvas if you need to (to perfectly fit your photo).

Link the layers if you need to move the animation so all frames will be in the same place.

Place the pic as a new layer.

Now this is the stupid part (I've never found a better way of doing this yet): duplicate the pic layer for every frame layer you have, then merge only one pic layer with one frame layer (this layer must be on top otherwise you'll loose the animation).

Note that you must hide all other layers and then go to the menu Layers - Merge - Merge Visible.

You'll have to do this with all of them.

Then close the psp file, PSP will ask if you want to update the frames in AS - answer "yes".

Save your animation in AS.
