Here's how I did it.

In CS3-
to get all of my photos into separate layers in one photoshop file I chose
<center>file-->scripts-->load files into stack</center>

Next I took a look at all the layers and put them into the correct order... they mostly were except for the photo 1.jpg's and such.

Then I opened up the animation window since it wasn't showing
<center>window-->animation</center>

From the animation window I chose the fully little bottom toward the top right that gave me options about what I wanted to do with my animation.

if it's in that weird timeline mode that I don't understand use the funny button and choose to convert to frame animation.

Next use the funny button and choose "<b>create new layers from each frame</b>"

Now you have an animation. You can select all of the frames in the animation and change how long they last at the same time.

I chose .2 seconds.

next you can arrange the frames if you'd like

Lastly you'll want to export it. You have a few options... like a HUGE gif file... or you could make a video like I did.

<center>file-->export-->render video</center>

There you go... the first video I rendered was 166mb that was a bit high. It probably would have been a good idea to change around the quicktime settings.

Instead of going back to remake tge video I just through it into the program visual hub and had it make a good quality h.264 file. That was 4megs.


And there you have it folks!!! :D
