PART ONE: BUILDING the Basic BANNER at Media Builder. First we're going to make an animated banner at MEDIA BUILDER 3D Text STEP ONE; STEP TWO; STEP THREE; STEP FOUR; Effect = "Slide Right" Speed = "Slow" Depth = "1" Frames = "10" Run ="Forever" (continuous animation.) STEP FIVE; On the next page, you will see what appears to be, an "Empty, White Box. (That's because the letters are white, on a transparent background.) At the end of the first paragraph, you will see "WebTV Users: Click here for a temporary url"... Click to up-load, and then put on your Page Builder page and Publish. |

(delete the "http://" first) Write down the height of your image. (it's below your gif) Click on ~~ Effects = CLONE, type in a number that is a few pixs less than your image height. Edit = FLIP HORIZONTAL Effects = CLONE (again) this time at double your first Clone. (My first clone was at 30, so my re-clone is at 60) Edit = CROP a SQUARE piece out the middle of your Gif. (doesn't have to be exact.... we're re-sizing, next.) Edit = RESIZE to make it equally SQUARE... by UN-checking the "Constrain Proportions" box and typing the same number in both boxes. (My square was 129x127... so I re-sized it to 130x130.) OK.... Here we go, folks!!! Are you ready??? Effects = KALEIDOSCOPE Just one more step - Effects = SPHERE VOILA!!! You did it!!! :-)
