WMP/mini movie question
Hey there, I've been trying to educate myself all day on how to make mini movie icons, and after reading some of the wonderful tutorials in the memories I thought I could get the hang of it, but I'm running into problems.
I downloaded the video that I want to use off the internet, and its in an .asf format, so it can play in Windows Media Player. To get the screencaps from there, I paused the video, did a print screen, and copied that into pant shop pro. That's the part I understand. What I don't understand is how to change frames in WMP in a smooth manner, what I did was to hit play, and then very quickly hit pause again, and then repeated the process of copying that screen. It seems to me that there should be an easier way to shift from one frame to the next, but the slidebar at the bottom of WMP doesn't seem to be working for me in that way. When I made an animation using "my way", it was very choppy since there were a bunch of frames missing between shots. I got a few leads on how to change this from digging around the memories here, but all of them turned into dead ends.
Thanks very much for any help in advance, I'm sure the answer to this is blatently staring me in the face somewhere, and I feel pretty stupid for not being able to see it.
