Creating Animated GIFs, Rich Interactive Applications, and Web Movies
- High-end image-editing software, such as Adobe® Photoshop®, can be used to create animated GIFs.
- Some GIF animation software contains wizards for creating commonly used animated GIFs, such as banners and buttons.
- The process of creating animated GIFs involves identifying the sequence of GIF images, specifying the time interval between frames, setting background transparency, and testing the animation.
- Rich interactive applications (RIAs) are web-based computer applications that contain interactive multimedia elements.
- RIAs use a browser window for the application’s user interface and store the application’s internal instructions on an application server.
- Adobe® Flash® and Microsoft® Silverlight® have historically been used to support web animations and movies.
- HTML 5 standards are increasingly being used to create browser- and device-independent animations and movies.
- RIA animations use a fast-paced presentation of changing static images to simulate motion.
- Web designers create animations using either frame-by-frame animation or animation with tweening.
- When deciding whether to incorporate movies at your website, consider expertise and resources, whether the movies contribute to the website's purpose, and provide necessary plug-in information.
- Avatars are used by millions of gamers to interact with each other in massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs) or 3D virtual worlds.
- Different browsers or devices can interpret HTML 5 standards differently, and fewer WYSIWYG platforms exist to support creation of HTML 5 animations and movies.
