Banner Maker Pro Slide Show Tutorial >>>

When creating a slide show banner, there are two things to remember. One is that each frame that you want to show is a different image and needs to be saved. The second thing to remember is to check the 'Add to Animation List' on the Save Tab. This will automatically add the image to the Frame by Frame Animation List.


Step 1 - Create the first frame.
Create the first frame just like you would any other static image.  When you go to the Save Tab, make sure that you click on the 'Add to Animation List' check box. This will place the image in the animation list on the Frame by Frame Animation page.

Step 2 - Create and Add Additional Frames.
Make as many additional frames as you need and make sure that you add them to the animation list. If the image is very similar, you can change one or two lines of text and save it with a different name. Make sure that you don't use the same name for the image when you save, otherwise it will be overwritten. Below are two different screens with different but similar images. On each image, the bottom line has changed.

Step 3 - Go to Frame by Frame Animation.
Once you have completed each of the images that make up a frame, go to the Animation Tab, and select Frame by Frame Animation. Here's an example:

On the Frame by Frame Animation page, the images that were added when each frame was saved are shown. On this page, you can change the speed of the animation, refresh options, and looping options. The images can then be moved in different order, or you can add or delete images. Once you have decided on the images to use, you can then click on Save Animated Image. Make sure you give the animated image a different filename from the other images that you have used. To preview the final image, click on 'Preview'. There you can see how the image would appear in the default browser. After you preview the animated gif, you can adjust the speed and/or looping options to your satisfaction.


Note on animated images: The individual images cannot point to different web pages. The entire animated gif can only point to one website. If you want an animated image to point to different web pages, use the banner rotator (on the Save Tab) with individual frames.
