Friday Post-February 17, 2017

What I Did this Week
-Last week the class had been introduced to an animation program called Pivot. Since then we were asked to make animations of Youtube videos. The Videos consisted of someone getting hit in the face repeatedly in sports events. There are two separate animations, one being of the soccer game and the other being of a volleyball game.
-The posts I published this week: Pivot- Soccer and Pivot Volleyball

What I Learned
-I learned to manipulate were the various hotkeys that can be used in Pivot. There were many, I didn't get to use all of them throughout the two projects on the program but I had narrowed it down to the most useful ones. The main keys being "P"(to play), "S"(to stop), "Spacebar"(to add frame) and the most useful and stress relieving was "ctrl+z"(to undo).

Solving
-The "soccerball.jpg" will not load as a sprite image for one reason. To load it as a sprite image to Pivot the image must be a GIF, Bitmap or PNG. That soccerball image is a jpg.
-The warning pop up is asking if you want the loaded background image to fir the dimensions you set for your pivot animation. By clicking "yes", the image would enlarge to fit the dimensions of 900 by 450. By clicking "No" the image will load into the background but will not fit the whole dimensions of the background.
