I have a handfull of images that I want to put into a simple program that shows me what the animation will look like?
I know photoshop could do it, but I am looking for something simple. All I want to do is add images to the program and it just shows me what it looks like in sequence. I had a look at some tools, but they all seem soo complicated. Has anyone got any programs they can recommend?
Thanks
Cool Simplest Solution! which i have used many times
PowerPoint
Open the powerpoint presentation.
Select "File"->"Save As" (File being the large round office button)
Either click on "Save As" or click on "Other Formats"
Select where to save (this will save as a folder of images)
Under "Save type as", select "GIF" and click Save
A prompt will appear, select "Every Slide"
A prompt will tell you that it has been saved.
GIMP
Open GIMP
Select "File"->"Open As Layers"
Navigate to the folder of images which you created above.
Select the slides you want to open. Hold down "Ctrl" and click to select several files, or click on a file and then hold "shift" and
click on one further below to select those in between.
Select "Open"...Gimp will now load the images.
Select "File"->"Save As"
For the "Name", make sure it ends in ".gif" such as "example.gif" and click save
An Export File Dialog will pop up:
9 Another dialog will pop up:
10 Hit Save and you're done.

Does anyone know (a) why this is happening and (b) better still, how I can fix it.
When I right-click a folder in the sidebar and select "New File" the dialog that shows the textbook to enter a new file name is partially hidden behind the status bar.
I have tried toggling off the status bar, but then the new file dialog just shifts down even lower.
You can simply resize vertically the panel by dragging it.
For some reason, whenever I create a Text Box and start typing, the background text is highlighted white and I can't make it transparent. This picture should explain everything:
I want to remove the highlighting so the gradient in the background shows through. I used to do things like this a lot, but for some reason Word won't let me now. Any suggestions?
I am on Word 2011 Mac
Got some clues here and finally found a solution for MSWord for Mac version 16.9:
Select the text you want to fix
Select "Design" Tab
Click "Page Borders"
Click the "Shading" Tab
Select Apply to "Text"
[Fill] is showing "No Color". Open the selection and re-select "No Color"
Hit "OK"
Worked for me. It is obviously a bug in Word.
Right-click the text box that you want to make invisible.
If you want to change multiple text boxes, click the first text box or shape, and then press and hold SHIFT while you click the other text boxes.
On the shortcut menu, click Format Text Box.
On the Colors and Lines tab, in the Fill section, click the arrow next to Color, and then click No Color.
On the Colors and Lines tab, in the Line section, click the arrow next to Color, and then click No Color.
Click OK. Your textbox's background is now invisible...
It seems the actual text highlight is your problem, so try:
Go into Borders and Shading, apply it to text, and set it to clear. Had me confused because I've never had to do this before.
As seen here.
I also searched around and had trouble finding this.
In Word for Mac 2011
Highlight the text
Click tables in the ribbon
Find the shading icon (looks like a paint bucket)
Click the down arrow next to the bucket and select No Fill
Change the text format from anything apart from Normal text.(important)
Solution 1
Select the Text box and go to the "format" tab,
modify the outline and fill options
if this isn't enough
Solution 2
select the Text box and right click for options
select the last option "format shape"
I want to replace a word only in one particular paragraph of a .cs page. I select the paragraph, but when I go to find and replace the text get deselected and the word is highlighted everywhere on the page and not only in that paragraph. Is there a way to achieve what I want in VS or should I just copy the text in another page/text editor and do the replacing there?
Thank you.
Select the text, press Ctrl+Shift+H, make sure "Selection" is selected in the "Look in" window. While the Find and Replace window is open you should be able to select whatever you want from your code window and the original selection should not change. Copy what you want to replace and paste to Find what window. Set "Replace With" window with the text to replace and click the "Replace All" button.
As you know you can split an Editor window in two parts. So I can edit one part of a file and look at another of same file at same time. That is a great feature.
How can I move one part to another monitor?
Or is it possible to open the same file twice?
Under the menu item Window, select "New Window". Make sure the tab you want duplicated is selected.
The new window can be dragged on to the other monitor.
I'm a NotePad++ user, new to TextMate.
There are some features that I really like in NP++ but couldn't figure out if TextMate support them.
Double click on a variable and have all instances highlighted
View 2 text windows side by side
Drag a file onto another opened Window
For this one, I don't know how to generate a screenshot ;-p. Basically, you can drag a file from Windows Explorer and drop it into NP++ to have it opened.
A lot of long time TextMate users are leaving TextMate land, actually. So, I'm not sure it's the right time to move to TextMate.
Emacs and Vim both do what you want and more. If you can afford the learning curve it's definitely worth it.
As for your question:
View 2 text windows side by side
You can have two or more windows for the same document. Assuming you are in a "project" right-click your file in the drawer and choose Open "foo.ext" in New Window. The two "views" contents are more or less in sync but doing cool things like columnar editing tends to break the syncing.
Due to how Mac OS X manages windows, the new window will probably be too large/too small and/or placed in a less than useful place. I use ShiftIt system wide to manage my windows and in such a case have them the same size side by side.
Double click on a variable and have all instances highlighted
What do you use this for? Is this visual highlight or non-contiguous selection?
Type ctrlw to select the word, then ⌘e to make the word your search term, then ⇧⌘f or Edit > Find > Find in Project… It will show all instances of the search term in another window. You can then "jump" to any occurence and do whatever you want.
If you only want to jump from occurence to occurence, select the word then type ⌘e then ⌘g to jump to the next occurence.
Another way is to type ctrls, a little text field appears at the bottom of your window where you can type a word and see its first occurence selected in real time. Repeatly typing ctrls will cycle through the occurences.
Drag a file onto another opened Window
You can drag & drop a file on TextMate's icon in the Dock. You can also right-click the file and choose Open with TextMate *or Open with…*. If you are in a "project" you can right-click and choose Add Existing Files…. Opening multiple files in TextMate will automatically create a "project" for you.

I just tried this and it doesn't seem to recognize this functionality. the only time any sort of "add" icon came up was when I dragged the file into an open document and then released, but that resulted in adding the contents of the file into the document.
I just did a quick google search for "textmate split view" and it still doesn't seem to be supported according to some of the answers i found (one from macromates wiki).
Double click on a variable and have all instances highlighted
This also doesn't seem to be supported. This post suggests using the command + f (find), put the word into find, then command + g to jump to the next instance of that word.
There are definitely some things that can be added to textmate to make it more robust. If you are looking for something similar and are on a windows machine, you should check out e text editor. I loved that editor when I was working on a windows machine - split view is supported, but not sure about the highlighting. One thing that e also beats out textmate is the real time regular expression highlighting.
