You can create amazing
transitional movie effects by using the techniques described in
this tutorial. Gradually increase the intensity of special effects
filters over a number of movie frames.
Click here to open a sample image.
Your image has now been converted into a movie with 10 frames
(the 9 frames you added plus the original frame).
You can use any filter that allows you to gradually increase its
intensity. Other filters you may want to try besides the Swirl
filter are the Displace filter, the Wet Paint filter, and the
Zig Zag filter.
In the Swirl dialog box, increase the Additional Degrees slider
by 90, until the value reaches 359. Then move the Whole Rotations
slider to 1 and the Additional Degrees slider back to 90 and apply
the filter again.
Continue increasing the value of the Additional Degrees slider
by 90 on each application of the effect. When the Additional Degrees
slider reaches 359 again, move the Whole Rotations slider to 2,
the Additional degrees slider back to 90 again, and continue.
When you are done, save your image to one of the file formats
that supports movie animation, e.g., .AVI (Video For Windows).
To play the movie, click Movie menu, Control, Play Movie. Click
Movie menu, Control, Stop Movie to stop the movie.
If you want to save your file as a .GIF animation, you must first
convert your image to 8-bit paletted color mode.
