<div dir="ltr">This all seems great, and if anyone has the strenght and the time to see this through, it is amazing.<br><br>Personally, I would suggest a smaller project for a start: animations to teeach the meaning of the movement symbols and the contact symbols, and other symbols that cannot be fully explained by still photos.This could be done on a language- free manner, and thus would benefit all who is trying to learn SignWriting, regardless of hearing status or language/s known.<br><br>The explanations we have now, are often dependent on knowledge of Englesh and/ or ASL, and I must admit that y understanding sometimes is not good enough.

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:1.1736046851@web121506.mail.ne1.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>

Such software should not be coded too soon. People need to

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>

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>

<div>Would
you, or anyone
else, be
interested in
working on a
new project…an
Animated
SignWriting
Dictionary on
the web?</div>
<div><br clear="none">
</div>
<div>Take a
look at this
web page:</div>
<div><br clear="none">
</div>
<div><a href="http://www.movementwriting.org/animation/sgn-US/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" shape="rect">http://www.movementwriting.org/animation/sgn-US/</a></div>
<div><br clear="none">
</div>
<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
site devoted
to this
Animated
SignWriting
Dictionary and
Animated
SignWriting
Literature
idea…</div>
<div><br clear="none">
</div>
<div>It could
be a relaxed
project for
fun with no
deadlines or
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><br clear="none">
</div>
<div>The
project could
be done for
any sign
language, and
essentially be
like a
SignPuddle
Online but for
animated signs
-</div>
<div><br clear="none">
</div>
<div>And that
brings up the
next
question….Steve
and
Jonathan…could
SignPuddle and
SignWriter
Studio store
animated GIFs?</div>
