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:1.1743819909@web163403.mail.gq1.yahoo.com"><br>
<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>

<div dir="ltr">Such an editor would take existing signs and allow

Example: Selecting a vertical hand would allow to puting it
horizontal to illustrate a rotation...<br>
<br>
Such software should not be coded too soon. People need to
explore the possibilities. The proof of concept is starting.<br>
<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>
10-Feed the files in a gif animator.<br>

It is good to
know that
PowerPoint can
accept
animated GIFs.
It looks
great!</div>

<div>I agree
that animated
SignWriting is
valuable as an
educational
tool…I think
others agree
too -</div>

<div>Would
you, or anyone
else, be
interested in
working on a

Animated

Dictionary on

<div>It is a
simple page
that shows the
sign written
in
SignWriting,
and to the
right of the
sign, is the
animated
version of it…</div>
<div><br clear="none">
</div>
<div>We could
have an entire

to this
Animated

Animated

Literature
idea…</div>

<div>It could
be a relaxed

any pressure
at all (I do
not like
deadlines or
pressure ;-) </div>
<div><br clear="none">
</div>
<div>Just
whenever the
whim hits, do
a few
animations,
and save them
in a file.
Then we can
post them in a
new site...</div>

</div>
<div>The
project could
be done for
any sign

essentially be
like a

animated signs
