omg, I just don't even know why my peace is patriotic sig is not working right. Erin, if you see this, I also posted it in TS and it just is messed up for some reason I can't figure out. The stars with the word peace superimposed over it, is supposed to be two frames. one with the stars and one with the word peace. Oh, or I think it is just supposed to be one frame actually, just the word peace with no stars behind it. I think it's weird that the program would merge the two and I don't know how to make it stop!

Yep I saw this on TS.
This is SO common with Animation Shop. It does it when it optimizes the animation where it just merges things into the other frames sometimes. It is SO annoying and I have wasted so much time trying to fix this myself.
The only thing I can think of to try to avoid the two frames from melding together is to maybe put a blank transparent frame in between the two of them to try to work around it. What a giant pain in the butt.
If you need to email me, please do! :)

okay, I tried the blank frame thing, but I'll tell you what fixed it. When it was optimizing, I selected the advanced tab and changed the colors to 256 and also unchecked some things that said it would only save things that were different from each frame and another thing like that. I have psp 6, so it's probably a little different from yours. But, that seemed to work every time I did it. And I pretty much had to go through and drag all my frames to the correct positions cuz it just loved to mess them up from the way I set them up with the wizard. *shrug* It's so weird!

Oh that is good to know. It is so frustrating to deal with!! I will look around in my program to see if it will work the same with my version :)
I am happy you got it working finally. UGH!!! It just is tooooo annoying many times.
