Before the final save, double-check that all layers are visible and opacity is set to 100% and then save as an Animation Shop compatible file type ( .psp) without merging layers.
You can close Paint Shop Pro now, we won't need it any longer.
Open Animation Shop and open your golfer image.
[Note: You can use File > Export to Animation Shop if you prefer. I didn't suggest it because not all versions have that command.]
If you set your preferences to 'Keep layers as separate frames' as mentioned in the beginning of this tutorial, your Paint Shop Pro layers are now displayed as individual frames in a filmstrip. However, the first frame may be the only one visible. If so, use your cursor to grab the right edge of the filmstrip. When it turns into a double-headed arrow you can drag the filmstrip to the right to display multiple frames. Use the bottom slider to move through frames.
The first thing we need to do is change the display time (also called delay time) to something slower than the default of 10/100 of a second, which is too fast for our golfer. The display time is indicated by D:10 underneath each frame. If this is not visible, you will need to change your preferences to make visible. Select File > Preferences > General Program Preferences and check the box that says 'Display frame numbers, delay time underneath frames'.
To change the delay time for every frame at once, click Edit > Select All to select all frames. Next click Animation > Frame Properties or Right click > Frame Properties. In the dialog box, change display time to 25.
Note: A selected frame will be indicated by a blue border.
Preview the animation by selecting View > Animation (or Right click View Animation or click the 'filmstrip' preview button on the toolbar).
Does it look OK to you? If you want him to move slower, enter a higher number. A smaller number would, of course, have the opposite effect. You will need to close preview before making any changes.
I think it needs to pause a little longer in a couple of places. Select just frame 4 (F:4) and change the display time to 30. Next select the last frame and change the display time to 120 for a longer pause at the end of the golf stroke before animation repeats.
Preview again. Look OK? Good. Close preview window.
