Downloads

Here are some goodies for you to download. Now that my site has moved to a real hosting provider, I have 199.85 GB more storage than before. So check back here now and then!

• Corel discontinued development and sale of Ulead GIF Animator 5, so it is "abandonware." You can download Ulead GIF Animator 5 here. This copy includes Burger's Transitions, as well as the FX Plugins from GIF Animator 3.0a listed below.
  Extract the AnyGif folder to "C:\Program Files (x86)" (requires admin rights on Windows 7 and up), or any other location. It will just run. To create a shortcut, right-click on ga_main.exe and select Create shortcut. Copy and paste that shortcut to your desktop.

• New! Screensavers!
  Winnipeg Jets Screensaver - created with IrfanView. Just unzip, right-click and select Install. 16:10 aspect ratio.
  Winnipeg Jets 3D screensaver.
  Winnipeg Jets 3D Screensaver v4 - same animation as the first 3D screensaver, but better image quality, and position changes randomly after two spins.
  Winnipeg Blue Bombers Screensaver.
  Winnipeg Jets Screensaver v5 - 16:9 aspect ratio, new images, including two animated ones. Screen resolution of 1920 x 1080 (or a little smaller is okay) recommended.
  Winnipeg Blue Bombers Screensaver v2 - updated tweak to the one above.
  
  For best results, to deploy the screensaver, copy it to the appropriate System folder, e.g.
  - Windows 64-bit, C:\Windows\SysWOW64
  - Windows 32-bit, C:\Windows\System32
  - Windows XP, C:\Windows\System
            
• Burger's Transition filters. Extract these to the vfx_plug folder of your GIF Animator program files folder. Burger's website is sadly no longer online.
   
• The "Official" Ulead GIF Animator 5 User Manual in Adobe PDF format is available here. If you don't have Adobe Reader, you can download it from Adobe at www.adobe.com. An alternative is Foxit PDF reader.
   
• Want to have a game of Scrabble? Try this out... A Scrabble board complete with 100 letter tiles. Just add frames and arrange the letters. Just download this zipped UGA file.
   
• A white sparkle in .psd format, zipped for your use. sparklewhite.zip
   
• Johan Winge's Tengwar Annatar font. This is the one I used for the One Ring animation on my Animation Samples page. It appears the site I downloaded it from is no longer up.
   
• The Ringbearer Font - this is the font used on the page title graphics, like the "Downloads" graphic above. The Ringbearer font is © Pete Klassen, 2002.
  This font is designed for use with Windows systems. In order to install the font, unzip the ZIP file into a directory on your hard disc, run Control Panel, Fonts, select File->Install New Font, select the directory you've extracted the archive into. After successful installation, the "Ringbearer" font is available for use. More info is in the Read Me file included in the ZIP file.
   
• Ulead ArtTexture Plugin.
   
• Ulead GIF Animator 3.0a with FX Plugins Full Version, version 3.0a by Ulead Systems, Inc. This installs GIF Animator version 3. Once installed, navigate to the folder you installed it in. Open the vfx folder (default location should be C:\Program Files (x86)\Ulead GIF Animator 3.0a\Vfx_plug). Copy all the files from this folder, and paste them into the vfx folder of your GIF Animator 5 installation.
   
• Ulead Particle Plugin.
   

That's all for now!
