just askin cause i have a really nice vid clip i want to use as an avatar.



please help.
A revolution is not a dinner party, or writting an essay, or painting a picture or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another.

Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.

The Future belongs to those who believe in the power of their dreams

avatars can only be in the format of "bmp, jpeg, jpg, or gif"
meaning the MOST animation you'll get is GIF
not swf, not mpg, not avi, just plain GIF
that means NO sound, and NO music, and such that sort

No image formats allow animation besides GIF formats.
The only downside to GIF is that it requires a lower amount of colors and such than JPEG (but if you are making an avatar, it'll be small enough that it doesn't matter).

Anyway, there's a bunch of ways to do it.
For the easiest way, you can use Adobe ImageReady or Macromedia Fireworks that pretty much can put it together for you (such as if you don't have it saved as images frame-by-frame).
If you already have the image exported frame-by-frame, you can use a program I like called 'AniMagic' - even though the program is extremely old, it works very easily.

Just remember to keep your filesize small or it being functional as an avatar is terrible ;)
