Music videos are made using film, pictures, text and
animation. Animation can be used throughout the entire video or it can be
interspersed with actual video, photographs and text. Add some transitions and
effects and the video becomes a professional production, although it was
created on a home computer. With an eye for detail, a little imagination and
some free time turning that song into an animated video is fun and easy. Have a

duration of the clip. The key to creating animation is to have sequential
pictures. Effects packages can be purchased that convert the sequential photos
to animation.
