Semi Advanced Tutorial, Making animated backgrounds. (Coming Soon)
Well, this is just started, so...

this is the image we will use to make the animated background:

Garfield and Pookie (his teddy bear)

To start with, I am going to be making this background with a very simple, body colour. The majority of this background is going to be orange to match garfield, with just the garfield animation on it. I used a size of 1200 wide by 150 tall for this background.

Im doing that, for the simple reason being, that it will be much easier for you to follow me through this tutorial that way.

The first step you will need to do, will be to obviously open your Jasc Animation Shop 3 program.
Once you have your animation shop program open, you will need to create a new animation:

Now that you have your new animation Cell open (look at previous tutorial on more about Cells and Frames,) you will need insert your animation:

Once you click that, it will bring up the box where you will have to Add File. So, click on where it says "Add File...":

Find your file where it was saved, and click on "Open":

MAke sure you set the box where it says "Delay Time" to 15. Now, just click ok, and it will add it into the orange cell image:

Now all you have to do for this simple background, is just save it, and submit it to your poem. Here is the background submitted to a poem, so you can see what it will look like:
