problem with cursor xp animation

When i am animating my cursor in photoshop, by putting all the cursors after eachother and i load the image in cursor xp, i put the right number of frames in it, and look at the previeuw....
Then i see the last cursor (the last frame) moving 2 pixels to the left.
That isn't a error in the design or something, cause i have it always... please somebody help me so i can create some animated cursors.

you may try to save each image as PNG or bmp file (make sure the size is the same), then download the free utility aniutil at https://www.stardock.com/products/cursorxp/download.html This program will help you make the animation in PNG format.

Is the width divisible by the number of frames?

yes the width is the same, you think it could be photoshop?

It seems to me, that, if you have e.g. 5 images of width 15 and height 25, you just can allocate a new blank image of 75 x 25. Then you can put the images into that new image and save it as PNG. Easier would be to save the images as bmp1, bmp2, bmp3 etc and use the aniutil.

that aniutil, can you import more then 2 images, cause i had such a program, but it didnt work very wel, and cant download it now because the stardock site is down

yep

you get a screen: process images, you browse to the directory you have saved your files, you choose the files, and then you are asked to save the new file to a directory. Easy! Good luck

lol, good looking cursor now (will upload him soon, its the animated version of blacklight) only answeres bring new problems, how comes he invert the animations, or is it only me?

you can script the way you want to have the animations in cursorXP. I believe it is explained how to do it on the cursorXP page of stardock.

Well, let you imagination do the work! Look outside, do you see poiny things? There is so much to get idea's from. Architecture, glass skyscrapers, aeroplanes, animals, cars, bikes, limbs...you name it. I am sure you will come up with something.
