slashjump 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2006 These are free video or animation maker..... JavaScript Animator Express This utility allows you to easily create animation from image files (GIFs and JPGs) on your local drive. The animation is achieved by creating a simple HTML page with JavaScript animation, and running it on your default browser. It requires a web browser with JavaScript support. (All Web browsers today support JavaScript, unless you explicitly disable it) Autodesk MotionBuilder Personal Learning Edition ZS4 Video Editor The new incarnation of Zwei-Stein, is advanced video editing software with compositing and over 100 built-in video effects. Unlimited number of video/audio effects for every track. Produce video with a resolution of 8x8 or 16000x16000 (~200 Megapixels / frame) and many sizes in between (custom) Full automation control for all track and effect variables using keyframes (cropping, zooming, panning, volume, rotation, opacity, key-color etc...) and much more(COOL!). This program is free for ALL uses. Segment Animator This is a program that allows you to make advanced animations with only little segments of the full picture. You put these all together and it makes the full picture, take a screen shot with the built in function and then put the segments in another pose . You then put it all together and it makes your animation. It can be as simple as you want and contain only 2 segments or can be as advanced as you want containing 10 or more segments. Simple!!! ImageToAVI This software will quickly convert a list of image/picture files into an AVI video that can then be loaded into your favorite DVD authoring program and burned to disc. With this neat little program you may choose to create video for DVD, SVCD and VCD (both NTSC and PAL supported). An audio file can be added for background music and your own background picture can be added as well. You may even customize the length of time to display each image. Want to create your own mini video clip instead of a slideshow? Not a problem. ImageToAvi is there to bring out the artist in you! File formats supported: input: BMP, JPEG, and GIF --> output: standard AVI This is the best I think... AVI Maker It is a simple but useful video creator. Just create Bitmap files and, using AVI Maker, convert them into your own AVI video files. cool... MonkeyJam This is a box full of digital monkeys that will let you get your drawings into the computer and then run around and stick them together so that you can see your animation come to life hehehe.... In other words, it's an exposure sheet driven digital pencil test program and a stop motion movie maker. You can capture from DV, video and webcam or import individual images. MonkeyJam allows you to adjust the timing, composits multiple layers and exports as AVI. Perfect for any animation student or quick penciltest for professionals. Tales Animator This is the best software animator for kids and their parents. It allows you and your kids to develop high quality animations and save them in AVI and animated GIF formats. You can animate your presentations You do not need to be an artist or advanced user. Tales Animator takes a screenplay in very simple format and converts it into high quality cartoons with sound and titles. Enjoy the cartoons development! Red Hand This is a basic security camera application written in C# that makes use of a webcam for survilance purposes. It essentially takes pictures then constantly compares them (pixel by pixel, the quality can be changed for speed purposes). If a different picture is detected then it saves the picture into the 'Capture' folder where it is labeled by date and time. So in summary it detects motion and saves an image of the detected movement. zap and zap.... he he he Download them and..... Enjoy them all!

P0T33n 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2006 A free alternative to xampp and easyphp etc would be WAMP http://www.wampserver.com/en/index.php I found this very easy to work with even as a beginner! WAMP5 installs automatically Apache 1.3.31 ,PHP5, MySQL database ,PHPmyadmin and SQLitemanager on your computer. It's principal aim is to allow you to easily discover the new version oh PHP : PHP5. WAMP5 comes with a service manager installed as a tray icon. It allows you to manage WAMP5 and access all services. When you install WAMP5, all the files are copied in the directory you choose. Conf files are then modified to point to that directory. It also installs a "www" directory which will be your Document Root. At the end of the installation, WAMP5 will automatically install Apache and MySQL as services : - service' wampapache' : apache service - service 'wampmysql' : mysql service WAMP5's installation is compact. This means that all files are copied to WAMP5's directory. Only the MySQL conf file (usually my.ini) is copied to the Windows directory but as "mywamp.ini" to avoid conflicts with other installs.
