It's about 149 frames too much stuff, but you can split the clip and delete the extra 4:29 (sec:frames) to get a single frame. Of course, doing this 300 times for a 10 second movie would get a bit tedious... ;) I did this summer before last with some second and third graders and it went great. smiles, Jamie If a digital still camera is used, then I suppose the easiest way to turn a bunch of pictures into a movie is perhaps the great GraphicConverter. Using its ConvertModify command one can do it in a snap, while also, if needed, applying all sorts of modifications to the images. It can also run from at least System 7 up until 10.4.3.

There's an old, old classic app that took a bunch of stills and strung them into a movie. I remember I got it when I was messing with POV-ray for the mac. This was a long time ago. and I can't remember it, though I may have a copy squirreled away on an old backup at home. Also, Quicktime Pro will take sequentially numbered still images and convert them to a .mov file. (and if you have access to the old Mac Addict disks you can still score a copy of QT 3 player, which lets you do it without needing the pro series.) -- Bruce Johnson This is the sig who says 'Ni!' -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: clay animation software
I haven't been following this topic very well, but I myself make animations and I use OS 9 all the time. They are not clay animations (made with LEGO actually) but its all the same. These are a few programs for the classic OS that should work well for what you need: Framed: a program that will let you take the still pictures from your digital camera and put them together into a movie file. Works pretty well for me. Its also free. http://www.likelysoft.com/framed/ FrameThief: this is a frame capturing program that will allow you to capture frames from a webcam, digital camcorder, or digital still camera. A single user license for it is only $40, but they also have an education single user price of $35. http://www.framethief.com/ BTV and BTV Pro: another frame capturing program. BTV allows you to capture frames, while BTV Pro has an actual stop motion feature. I have not used any of these personally so I do not have much experience with it. http://www.bensoftware.com/index.html Loud Inc: they make two stop motion programs. One of which is their normal version and one which is made specifically for kids. Some of the pages on their website are corrupted, so I have not been able to try them out. I know that the regular version (StopMotion Studio) has a $45 registration fee. I do not know if the kids version does or how much it is. StopMotioner: this program from Mein Software is still in the beta steps I believe. I also have not tried it out but it looks promising. http://www.miensoftware.com/stopmotioner.html That is about all of the software I can think of for now. Hope this helps. -Cody PS: if you would like to see some of the stop motion animations that are made with LEGO go here: http://www.brickfilms.com . Its a community full of people like myself that make stop motion animations with LEGO. Check it out. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

If none of the above help, there might be a loose connection between the keyboard and the motherboard or the keyboard has become bad. Try an external keyboard if available.

If your yoyo is fine, open the keyboard and yank the PRAM battery cable (red and white, next to the optical drive), then try powering on while plugged into the wall. If it works, you need a new PRAM battery. If the yoyo is dead, it's usually the cable that plugs into the wall.
