Solutions to keep from overloading pivot with sprites

Now as some people know how it is possible to save your project before adding effects as separate images and edit each one to add blur efx and etc,...etc... with "Adobe Photoshop" or some other program. And re adding the frames as sprites(requires pivot3 (i think)) can freeze pivot or cause the frames to disappear.

(1) divide your project into several parts and reassemble them together with "Windows Movie Maker*" or other programs(Vagas...) after adding efx, and save your finished file. Or use "Image Linking**" to keep your file as gif
without a hassle.

(2)save your separate images, add efx and put each image into "Windows movie maker" and speed each image up to shorten the time each frame is displayed (can be a pain, but is easy if your project has a massive amount of frames

To solve this, there are many ways. if you find a new or better way post it for us to review.

Here is my strategy number 2: http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm24/wads40/?action=view¤t=MMX01_0001.flv

It's Vegas. You should spell check when making a tutorial so that people won't be led astray when heeding your advice.

And why would you bother with adding Photoshop effects to your Pivot animations? It's not going to make it look any more professional. It just makes it look corny. People shouldn't be taught to cover up mediocrity with Photoshop. Pivot looks best when it's simple and the animator has a decent amount of skill, not with a bunch of Photoshop blur effects added in.

You'll probably get mad at me for this, but I'm just telling it like it is.

Unless you can use them with style?
