For my art final project I'm animating part of Feng Shui by Gnarls Barkley. Right now I need to know if there's a way to standardize the crop tool so that it's always the same size and shape. Or any other way I'd be able to kind of cookie-cutter a bunch of square images without shaping some tool to each square.

Here's a blown up (and kinda crappy looking) set of six frames: linky-linky.
Basically I need a quick way to quickly chop out 170 squares just like those.

And if anyone knows a good program that will compile images into a video, speak up. Right now I'm thinking Windows Movie Maker, but that seems slow. I've tried Blaze, but I think it deleted the images I used and didn't even make the video. I'll try it again, though.

well there is imovie, oh that's right, i'm the only one tha tlike apples
*evil laughter*

yes though, there is a way to standarise the tool, one of the options when you click the square cutter is to be able to pick the pixel with, i can't explain it with out looking at photo shop, but i know it's there, i would use it to make animated icons for my live journal.

If you can't find the standarization tool thingy, you can look at the pixels, from the start point to the end point, you know the geometry of a square so if worst comes to worst, you can figure it out that way.

I was able to finish the project today, and uploaded it to Rapid Share, if anyone's interested.

But I hate .rar files, because they are books, and not zippers.

Ian, get Winrar. And while you're at it, get iTunes.

Don. That was awesome. I watched it so many times in a row after Fat sent it to me on AIM.... it took 3 hours or so to transfer. I would say it was definately worth it. Great job.

Thanks. I got a really good response from my art class, too.
Only animation that's ever been made for the class.

And it took way too much time to do. :teach:
