AniTuner v1.0 - Create, edit and convert Windows animated cur

AniTuner creates, edits and converts Windows animated cursors (.ani). Animated cursors are animated mouse pointers stored in .ani files that can replace the default arrow cursor under Microsoft Windows.
AniTuner makes the creation and edition of these animated cursors easy: everyone can create his / her own animated cursors in a snap. You can use animated cursors not only to customize the appearance of Windows (themes) but also to produce little animations for your Web pages, e-mails, documents or even applications...

AniTuner comes with a lot of features that allow you to:

open and display any animated cursor.
convert animated GIF and AVI into animated cursors (ANI).
import existing image files to turn them into cursors or animated cursors.
export frames from your animated cursors to several image formats.
modify existing animated cursors and change their color depth or size.
convert animated cursors into animated GIF, AVI, static bitmaps or even Macromedia Flash SWF movies.
edit frames, change their duration, modify them in your favorite image editor and save changes back to the animated cursor.
AniTuner handles all cursor sizes (not only 32x32) & color formats (from 1bpp to 32bpp).
special support for 32-bit cursors with a 8-bit alpha channel (partial transparency for Windows 2000 / XP).
turn your old 16 or 256-color animated cursors into 32-bit animated cursors with a semi-transparent shadow for Windows XP.
export (and import) animated cursors as a series of PNG files (with alpha channel optionally) for easy editing.
browse for animated cursors on your computer and preview them before opening or converting.


AniTuner includes a context sensitive help file, an online animated tutorial in Flash format, some sample animated cursors and finally AniTuner is a full freeware program.
