Adobe After Effects which comes with the Adobe Premiere Pro bundle suite will allow you to do much more in the area of animation than you will ever be able to do in Power Point.
When you screen capture the animation of PowerPoint with Camtasia, a lot of times the end result (.avi file) is not high quality. The animation is sometimes jerky, and never has quite the same smoothness as when it is left alone in PowerPoint. Therefore, Adobe After Effects is a better way to create professional animation. You can also animate clips in a limited way using motion with Adobe Premiere. Use the Motion Settings dialog box and define a path for the clip to follow across a frame. A lot of times I will use PowerPoint just to create a static slide than has no animation, because with PowerPoint 2003 you can create great fill-in backgrounds with texture, picture, blends, or preset blends. Then you can add images, text, or whatever to the slide. Then save the PowerPoint slide as a jpeg image. You have to scroll down in the SAVE AS box to find the save as jpeg selection. Then import the powerpoint jpeg slide into Adobe, and put a transition in front of it. Add sounds, or music from your audio library in the audio track. Of course you can use Adobe Photoshop in place of PowerPoint to create the same kind of great slides, and Photoshop will allow you to do a lot more to pictures, like erasing the background to isolate the target image within the pictures. I am getting some Digital Juice video clips soon, and I am looking forward to working with these. I see a lot of royalty free music for video editing forsale on E-bay. Can anyone recommend a good source that is not to expensive? Creating my own music with my synthesizer just takes to long.
