Using Digital Video Files
With commercial video capture hardware and application software, you

laser disc players into your NEC Versa Note and record motion graphics
to your hard drive.
Use a video frame grabber and store a stream of grabbed stills on your
hard disk.
Using Animation Files
You can create a dynamic presentation using an animation application.
Animation can illustrate a concept, drive home an important point, or
command attention. Graphics animation can add punch to a presentation
with an animated illustration, a flashing arrow, or a flying logo.
