How to use Boot Animation Creator
1. Open Boot Animation Previewer. Read the introduction, and click 'Next'

Running Boot Animation Creator on Linux operating systems - thanks, kurdo_kolene!

I don't suggest running Boot Animation Creator on other operating system than Windows. It may not run correctly, and on some computers it may not ever run. Therefore, use it with caution (this only appeals for running B.A.C. on other operating systems than Windows)! If you get errors while running B.A.C. on other operating systems than Windows, and not on Windows itself, I won't provide support for them, because this program is not intended to run on other OS than Windows. Report bugs only if you're using Boot Animation Creator on Windows.

Final words
That was about it. It was easy, wasn't it? Please post feedback and thoughts about my program, they are gladly appreciated. ;)

it wont connect to the net???

How do you mean? Can you explain a little better, please? And please delete the whole quote, it's taking too much space.

Did you check the desc.txt file in the output .zip file? If it's the same as you stated, it's probably not program's fault. The speed of the animation is probably caused by the lack of more frames. See, if you have a 30 fps animation with 900 frames, and the same animation, but with 300 frames, the second one will probably be faster. As you see, several factors can lead to a fast animation.

well neither program can connect to the internet to update

Oh, well that's because my server got hijacked a month ago, and I deleted all the stuff, including the files that this program used to check for updates. Anyway, there will be no more updates, and I recommend to everyone to switch to Boot Animation Factory. :)

I've done a lot of work with boot animations, resolution is generally the issue when an animation doesn't play. The images need to be the same as your phone and you need to make sure the desc.txt has the proper data. I've never had compatibility issues with jpg files or png... just as long as the animation file isn't too big.

Maybe the problem is with your frames. Check their background color. :)

    1.Install PlayOnLinux or PlayOnMac respectively

    2.Open PlayOnWhatever and press Install

    3.Choose "Install a non-listed program" & press Next on the next screen

    4.Select "Install a program in a new virtual drive" & press Next

    5.Type in a name for the new virtual drive e.g. BootAnimationCreator & press Next

    6.Check the boxes "Configure Wine" and "Install libraries" & press Next

    7.In the newly opened window go to the "Libraries" tab, type "mscoree" in the small box or choose it from the drop-down menu, then press "Add". Select it from the bottom box, press edit and set it to "Builtin(Wine)", and press "Apply"

    8.Tick the box "POL/POM _ Install mono 2.10" and press Next. Wait for the download and installation to complete.

    9.On the next screen, press "Browse" and select the "install_bootanimationcreator.msi" file & press Next

    10.Follow the steps of the installation wizard. When the installation has completed, just press finish, without ticking the box "Launch Boot Animation Creator" (you could, but you still have to make shortcut for it later). When the "Choose a file to create a shortcut" window appears, select "Boot Animation Creator.exe", press Next, type in a name for the shortcut e.g Boot Animation Creator, press Next, after that's finished press "I don't want to make another shortcut" and press Next and you're done.
    Launch the application from your Desktop shortcut.
    I don't suggest running Boot Animation Creator on other operating system than Windows. It may not run correctly, and on some computers it may not ever run. Therefore, use it with caution (this only appeals for running B.A.C. on other operating systems than Windows)!

    Oh I'm definitely trying this out... :D Thanks!

    Edit: Hehe... I'm one of our alpha software testers at work, so maybe I'm a bit too good at this..... But I found a small bug. :p If you cancel the 'select folder' dialog, the program crashes.. Just thought I'd let you know.

    Other than that, works really nicely. :) If I could make a suggestion though: On step 2, maybe add a line below the 'First folder number of loops' that mentions using a value of '0' for infinite loops. For people who haven't read any tutorials or made any animations manually, they probably wouldn't know about that..
