Animating an exploded view?
(OP)
Is it possible to save an animated exploding/collapsing assembly as a GIF file so that it can be used on a website?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

3rd party screen capture software exists for AVI and Flash, but I've not seen one for GIF ... but then I've not been looking for one.

A simpler way would be to use Cam Studio from http://www.camstudio.org/ or something similar, but you will have to convert the result to GIF.

I actually used Mr. Captor to create an AVI file. But then when I sent the file to my client, Media Player won't play the video because it has a problem loading codec! I was able to play it no problem on my laptop, but not on my wife's (same problem)
So I used Video Inspector to see what codec was needed. Anyways, after I did all that, it still doesn't work! Why does it seem like nothing is ever easy?
So, then I decided to convert the avi to wmv, so I had to download more software to do that. The end result is a very poor looking animation. The quality of the video is seriously degraded. Is there a better way to do it?

Here's an example:

By the way, I've found that the WMV format is well-compressed for the quality. It's the best compromise I've been able to find for my work.
