hm.. That looks good, I already have good animation knowledge with that software anyway, So that helps.
It's getting the screenshots thats the main problem, since with my software I can't take screenshots with the picture, only a big black box.
You can open the video in virtual dub (If virtual dub is able to read the format), and it allows you to view the videos frame by frame. You can scroll to the frame you want to screenshot and press ctrl + 1. That will copy the current frame onto the clipboard. Next, open a new file in Adobe Imageready (it will be automatically resized to the screenshot you have taken) and just paste it. (The time between each frame should be either no delay or 0.1 sec.) Do that for every 2-3 frames, and choose save optimised as. (You may want to resize the image if it's big.) Um, am I making sense?
Ack! no matching sig. x_x

yes, because I know all that.
let me rephrase:
My PC runs so you cannot take screenshots on any video playing unless it's an actual feature in the player, Many other PCs are of same software, I'm aware of this, I also already have a program that takes screenshots but because the scene I want to copy is fast, I can't go frame by frame slow enough, So when I get home I'll be sure to try out the program you posted. I'm not at my PC right now so I'm talking about what I'm experiancing on that, Saying that I've had experiance with Image Ready creating several animated GIFs with it from just loading the avi file directly into Image Ready and only selecting a bit of it, I've done this and used layers and size changes, cuts and timing. If I go back to my original question, I was wondering what Rapid Shots where, It sounds like it takes several screenshots so you don't have to go through the usual hassle of importing it and exporting it. Right now I'm on a MAC at College, and If I could bring my episodes of FLCL in here I could easily make what I want since Mac hard/software is designed for artwork anyway and the programs are generally pretty straightforward (especially since it has the major programs installed already, Adobe, iMac software and micosoft programs).

I've just started to watch FLCL yesterday, It's really cool, I've seen the first two episodes now, a few more to go :D

Oh, there's a way to solve the black box effect on windows media player. :)
First, open WMP, then
tools>options>performance
under video acceleration, choose something other than full video acceleration and click apply
You should be able to take screenshots of the video without the balck box effect now.
It reduces the quality of the video though.(but not that obvious)
And I do not know what are Rapid Shots too. XD

Yes I know that too, But I don't want it on anything lower  than It's highest Performance because in my house at home, we don't like anything less than the highest performance of vdeo and audio we can get. And I did try that before and I didn't like the quality of it at all anyway, So I am not changing those settings.

Oh, so that's why I couldn't make screenshots with WMP... I thought for the longest time that it was a WMP bug, but now I guess I'll try that :).

I get how to make GIFs, I just don't have good clips. >_<

Attention to Pokemon anime fans:
Save the dub!

Stop this monstrosity! I've been a fan of the anime, even though dubs suck, since I was like 7. I really don't want to have to suffer with new voices during the Battle Fronteir...  :cry:

Yeah I'll help out too! I like the Pokemon dub myself. I would hate to see them changed the voices when they're already this far.

Haha. I remember when everyone got mad
Show content
when Sora ended up with Matt instead of Tai
in Digimon, so when Fox what airing the last episode (English Dub, of course) of Season 2, they had to cut out the part where they said that they were together, because so many people sent them angry letters! :D Me, my cousins, and my sisters were among the people who wanted the parts cut :P

Anyway, I don't remember much about Pokemon. I have no idea what's happening right now. Pokemon is lost to me, but maybe when I have time I can catch up  :wink:

Same here Cherry-chan! I pretty much lost all information on Pokemon after about season 2. I dunno why but it just seemed like it got away from me and then it just exploded into this huge thing and I was like "Wait a minute what happened to that pokemon?" And then they just kept coming out with new pokemon that I lost all track of it.

You didn't like Mewtwo returns? what's wrong with it? I really liked it... I still do, I might watch it when I get home..

Hikari - Yeah that's been known for a while now, It sucks, Also If you -really- want it to work,  it would help a LOT more by sending a snail mail, Emails are generally more undernoted than actual letters, mainly because with letters it actually requires some Effort!!

Cherry- they didn't cut that when I watched it, I can't imagine them really cutting it tho, It seems like a good spin off for the end, otherwise it's just a really poor ending without seeing the kids grown up. And besides,

I like Sorato so I didn't mind them, ending up together, I just liked Taiora more, And I obviously liked Taito the most, but it was obvious the show wasn't going to do that pairing in the end :( I also didn't like Ken and Yolei paring, but looks like those two got down and had some kids!! haha.

Taito will always be the best coupling on Digimon <3

LOLZ, sometimes if I'm bored, I just take screenshots in Windows Movie Maker 2. ^_^ Then I dump the whole thing in Imageready.

Pokemon season 1 is being shown here in our country right now. Haha, I get to watch it all over again!
