    Hi Andre,<br>
        One of the great chanllenges of using the current software for
    animated GIFs is lining up one frame with the next. <br>
    Your idea of all frames having head, is a good idea for a center,
    but if each GIF frame is a different size it will only be a little
    help for aligning them.  A solution with a fixed width and height
    per animation would be better (it could be different from one
    animation to another).<br>
    <br>
    I was thinking on way would be to make a vertical line and a
    horizontal line in the SignWriting as a reference. It would be have
    to be big enough to fit all the animation we would want to write.
    All frames would come out the same size and everything would be
    referent (centered) to these lines.<br>
    <br>
    <img alt="" src="cid:part1.02080903.01080307@yahoo.ca"><br>

M596x597S37a00403x404S37a00403x452S37a00403x500S37a00403x548S37a0e404x595S37a0e452x595S37a0e500x595S37a0e548x595<br>
    <br>
    The down side is that you would have to manually take out the lines
    afterwards frame by frame.<br>
    <br>
    Or<br>
    <br>
    In SignWriter Studio these lines could even be white just like the
    background.  (Sorry no support for transparencies in SignWriter
    Studio at this time).  Then with a graphics program that does
    transparencies change the white to transparent.  Just don't use the
    same white (maybe an offwhite) for the hands as for the background
    and the lines.<br>

        This is my current process.<br>
        1- Import a dictionary in sign writer studio.<br>
        2- Select a sign.<br>
        3-Create a copy of the sign.<br>
        4-Edit the sign by selecting symbols to duplicate or reposition.<br>
        5-If necessary add a head.  This defines where the hands will be
        located.<br>
        6-Copy paste an image of signwriter studio in pain.<br>
        7-Resize the paint display.<br>
        -----transparency setting would come here----<br>
        8-Create several copies of the written sign.<br>
        9-Edit each file with the same name and a counter (file 0 is the
        original written sign with extra transition symbols).  The head
        is my origin.  It should not move.<br>
