Last spam of the night, I swear. I'm trying to animate five single frames, and I've tried three different programs but the end result is blurred, low quality or otherwise sucky. I'm getting very frustrated. Anyone think they can animate this stupid thing if I send them the frames? Be your best friend...

What program are you using? I could try, but if we have the same program I don't know that I could do better than what you've got at the moment.

I've tried Coffee Cup, UnFreez and Babarosa, but I've never used any of them before and am no doubt going about it in a half-assed way...

I've got Animation Shop. I could give it a try if you wanted, just wouldn't be able to do it until later tonight.

That's excellent, thank you, and there's no rush.

You can email me the frames via thebratqeen at livejournal dot com =)

What are the frames of? If they're photos, you might be better off using a Flash anim tool (like Swish or Flash) to string them together - most of the quick GIF anim tools just lump the frames with a quick 256 colour palette and chunk away. Which means all your frames have to be similar in colour, or low in colour variety to get good results.
It's that or use PaintShopPro or Photoshop CS animation tools to give you more palette control - let me know if you need some.

PS. Club Source is the devil's decaffienated pee-pee for under 18s...
