another, different computer question from Hillary

Does anyone know how one could go about making a Quicktime movie file into a JPG file or something like that? Off the wall, I know.

umm.. you mean you want to make still images? You could try with printscreen

I was thinking of something like the animated avatars I've seen. I wanted to take a video and make one. Is that really difficult?

You need a program to make gif-animations for that, I think. I've done some stuff with Animation Shop, you can download a test version for 30 days online www.jasc.com
I bet there's other programs out there that do the job just as well.
I don't know how to get from quicktime-file to a gif animation though, sorry.

Thanks Mari. I'll visit that link and see what I can do.
