Pac-n-Zoom® News
2/21/13: Easy-to-Use Interface: The new interface was added to PnZ Animation Cloud.

A Quick Start Video is available to help users on their first animation. It can be viewed by clicking on the "Help" button on the animation application. You can also click on this link, Quick Start Video for 1st Time Users.

A New User Video Series is available at our YouTube channel. Begin with "Getting Started #1" in a series of 8.

11/21/12: Faster Selection: The initial selection is much more accurate; in fact, it is usually perfect.

When cleanup is needed, a couple of clicks with the new blob delete control usually does the trick.

10/5/12: Custom Sizing: The downloaded animations can now be sized by the user. The animations can be sized either larger or smaller than the old "one-size-fits-all" size.

9/27/12: Rotation Example: In the Animated Photos links, we have added "Advertising Example-1" which shows an example of an SVG advertising banner that uses rotation to pivot. We have not added this animation attribute to the cloud tool yet; however, this example is a preview of just one more fun to use attribute that is coming soon!

9/19/12: Stationary Zoom: In SVG, any offset from the upper left-hand corner is scaled when the selection is scaled which causes the image to move as it is scaled. With this addition, when the object is selected, the offset to the left-hand corner is set to zero which allows the object to remain stationary as it is scaled.

9/13/12: The user can now use multiple frames to create more complex animations. With multiple frames, objects can appear and disappear during animations. They can go behind a another object, and then later appear in front of the object. The objects can scale from smaller to larger and from larger to smaller in the same animation.

8/15/12: JPEG and PNG images can be placed into the animation. They are mostly used as backgrounds. Users can upload a JPEG or PNG image for the desired background, click "Save As" and name the file.

6/13/12: The PnZ-Animation Cloud can now animate both movement and scaling.

Product

You might think the above two pictures are almost the same…but they’re far different.  With the raster (BMP, JPEG, or PNG) image on the left, the computer can only move the whole picture at once.  It can’t change anything in the image.  This means no interactivity with the user. 

With the one on the right (SVG), every item inside the picture is completely usable by the computer, just like computer code.  This gives the photo extreme interactivity with a user.  We are the only ones who can convert a photo into vector at high quality. 

PnZ Cloud SVG

PnZ Cloud SVG converts photos into Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) in high quality, and is the only way to animate SVG online. SVG programs require the use of text or code to create SVG animation, but we give you SVG animation with a simple web user interface.

Animation conveys emotion a lot better than still photos. Interactive animation makes the viewer a participant in the action. Animated SVG is interactive and our technology makes the highest quality animation possible.

We will add several more SVG animation functions in 2012. Follow us on Twitter to stay on top of the latest animation additions and how to use them.

If you have been creating animated GIF then we encourage you to try animated SVG, giving the user much more creative control, interaction, and a higher quality animation.

Cost

FREE! While we are in Pre-Launch, creating animated photos is free to all users.

Once we move the service out of Pre-Launch, the cost for the average user is about $5 every 6 months.

Requirements

* Input - JPG, or PNG

* Best results with 24 bit images

* Output - SVG

* At the moment, the server limits the size of the picture to about 490,000 pixels but we'll soon convert up to 6 million pixel images.

* Currently the SVG animation must be created in Mozilla's Firefox browser. Other major browsers will be added soon.
