=================================================================

I will show you this tutorial effect - but you will find that you might want to alter the graphics to 2 graphics of your choice

This tutorial might seem to look hard - but your better off reading through the tutorial first before you begin!

Firstly SAVE the graphics to your PC and open up in Animation Shop
On both Graphics add your name - you can either do this in Paint Shop Pro or Animation Shop
- but the animation side needs to be donne in Animation Shop.

Taking the Pink Bear first - click onto the bear and then apply these settings 
[ Effects >> Insert image Effect >> Explode ]

Make sure you also click into the CUSTOMIZE SETTINGS and set to as so... 
* You will need to do the customize settings first *

Now click into the Blue Bear and apply the exact settings - once you have applied those settings to the Blue Bear

We need to reverse the action
To do this - go to Edit >> Select All  - then Animation >> Reverse Frames
[ the short cuts are CTRL A = Select All and SHIFT R = Reverse Frames ]

Now we need to add both of these animations together - Don't Panic - Its easy :O)

Click on the new Blue Bear which has the settings applied and CTRL A = Select All and  CTRL C = Copy

Now RIGHT CLICK onto the last frame [ frame 16 ] on the Pink Bear and choose PASTE >> AFTER CURRENT FRAME

We then need to alter 2 frame speeds but keep the others the same

Click onto the VERY FIRST FRAME - then go to ANIMATION >> FRAME PROPERTIES and add 100 speed into the box >> Click OK
Click onto the VERY LAST FRAME - then go to ANIMATION >> FRAME PROPERTIES and add 100 speed into the box >> Click OK

We are nearly finished :O)

LAST HARD BIT

You need to duplicate this ANIMATION  GRAPHIC>> Reverse the frames and then copy and paste them after your last frame - so here goes :O)

Click on the ANIMATION GRAPHIC and using the short cut SHIFT D = which will duplicate the animation graphic

Now we need to reverse the action
To do this - go to Edit >> Select All  - then Animation >> Reverse Frames
[ the short cuts are CTRL A = Select All and SHIFT R = Reverse Frames ]

Now RIGHT CLICK onto the last frame [ frame 32 ] on the Animation Graphic and choose PASTE >> AFTER CURRENT FRAME

Now play and admire
and SAVE

***

Now you have the skill to create some wonderful Animations using this method
One tip I must give you is - for a smooth animation, make sure the 2 graphics are lined up otherwise they will jump around and drive you nuts!
