FIREWORKS
Basics upon how to create an avi w/ fireworks
(this is pretty much the same if you have used Image ready)
You create your snapshots of the vid avi that you want to use, and put it all under one seperate folder (make sure you've saved them in order, meaning the first frame is saved as 1, second as 2, third as 3 etc... or else ifyou save them out of order your vid avi will be awfully off)
open fireworks and go to the folder that you save them in... in the open dialouge box there should be 'open as animation' and make sure that is checked, then click open..
after that all frames should be put in place and you can begin to edit/resize do whatever to your vid avi
To make a vid siggy, its pretty much the same procedure..but rather fix your vid first then resize the canvas and add your image.. then you can move your vid about the image..
after all that make sure you 'save for web devices' or save as a .gif file
for settings, you just have to play around with them till you get a good one, there really isn't one setting you can put that'll work for all, its a bit different each time
and lastly,
make sure you have some extra time and do this when you're not in a rush and have patience
warning: in process of doing this, you might loose your temper, please refrain from throwing your computer out the window :P ;)
