This made me want to make an animation about it (No fire though):
Power 600.0

And yes, it is 600.0 not 650.0, mainly because I forgot at the time.

BunnyWithStick, get flash or something. Your animations are good, but, they're like 8 fps. And they're just GIFs.

Go make a 20fps flash movie with a circle that moves across the screen then, I can make GIFs, and it's all I want to make right now.

Anyone know how to fix this?

The previous layers are showing up when they are not supposed to. I checked the visibility of each layer and it looks fine to me.

I'm pretty sure that Photoshop doesn't preserve layer visibility… If a layer is there, it's probably still there.

But other than that, I can't help you.

Edit: Ok, I did a test and when Photoshop saves it, it does preserve layer visibility, so nevermind.

Another Edit: Try removing transparency and putting each new frame in a layer above the rest, that should provide a crude but helpful solution

Remember to set each image to a certain number of frames in your animation...or else they will appear through out the whole thing.

Set number of frames? I don't know about that; I only use AppleWorks and GIFfun, which probably sets it automatically.

That worked, thanks a lot.

That's pretty awesome.

Thanks, it was my first attempt at rotoscoping and I wanted to do something simple and easy.

Sometimes crude solutions work, I guess.

The other way would be to just not use layers to preserve original frames.

But as I've discovered while making animations, having older frames still available and editable can be a lifesaver.

Too bad I just edit the same document and save each edit as a frame, which erases old frames except in the saved PICT files.

Here's another animation, done in the style of "Fighting on the desktop":
TextEdit Fight

It's kinda badly animated, but it's good enough to show you.

P.S: 400th post already? And so soon? I really am on a posting spree!
