fractal.com They're responsible for Painter, Art Dabbler, Sketcher, Painter 3D, and most recently Headline Studio. With fractal.com they're continuing their power development with new applications.
[ Version 1.0 ]

Headline Studio brings broadcast-quality graphics to the Web with tools
specially designed for Web banner creation. With video effects such as
walk-ins, dissolves and fades for images and text (either lines, words or
individual letters), web authors have newfound design freedom and workflow
speed. Headline Studio 1.0 includes customizable, web-safe color palettes,
unlimited undo, and the ability to determine GIF animation size and frame
rate after you've designed your animation. Before Headline Studio,
designing banners was much like designing a slide show. Now, designing
banners is like producing a television commercial for the web.

Ulead GIF Animator

When you first open Ulead GIF Animator, you’ll notice immediately that there are three major components to the program window: the toolbars, the central “work” area, and the “layer” pane to the left of it. Beneath the standard windows toolbar is the Attributes toolbar - it contains information and settings for each layer in your GIF Animation. Each image layer (or “frame”) in the animation is listed in the Layer pane to the left of the big work area that occupies the majority of the program window. When you click a layer, the image it contains is displayed to the right while its attributes and settings are displayed up above in the Attributes toolbar. Any of these attributes can be redefined or reconfigured, giving you a lot of flexibility in how the image in that layer is displayed. When GIF Animator brings in images from outside the program, if the images don’t already contain settings for some of the attributes listed, then default attributes are assigned to them. You can change the default settings GIF Animator uses in the Preferences dialog box, which can be opened with the File: Preferences command

hp labs - cambridge research lab - facial animation project

Animated words: facial animation, FaceWorks, Turing, interrogator.

Guide: The ability to present talking faces provides a unique opportunity for Multimedia providers to create animated characters to deliver messages, guides to provide information about a site, or bring Email and Chat avatars to life.

Is it possible to take a single snapshot of an individual, record some voice samples and then re-animate the individual in a new sequence to be indistinguishable from the real person?

Essentially this is a "Turing Test for Facial Animation".

If the interrogator cannot make a decision within a certain time (Turing proposed five minutes, but the exact amount of time is generally considered irrelevant), the machine is intelligent".

This has resulted in a Multimedia tool FaceWorks capable of generating talking faces from a .jpeg image and real speech.
