Another HowTO: saving Gif's in IFX4.5

Firstly, a public thanks you for your help with my 'thought bubble' project, a couple of weeks back. It worked well and the subjects of my, err, "humor", found it amusing.
I'd be very interested in whatever magic you can glean from the keyframe manager as I've only done the basic stuff so far (Star Wars type animated text scrolling, etc).
Combining VirtualDub (saving video streams out as BMP's, with user selectable columns for numbering; .0, .00, .000, etc) with PaintshopPro (batch re-naming) on the PC, with IFX in the middle on the Amiga doing the batch processing has allowed me to do some quite groovy experiments with video streams. Seeing what else can be done with the Keyframe Manager will be intriguing.

A basic 101 is ideal for those (as you know) who haven't even seen it.

I recall wondering how I was going to animate a greyscale gradient to use as an alpha channel for a set of frames. Ta, Daa! Keyframe Manager. Piece of pie. Pick up the gradient as a brush, set the parameters, done.

Cheers
