We’ve had a tool for some time now for making movies with your own images and text.  Many of you have made good use of it, but noted the following drawbacks:

• It is quite slow.
• The artwork is very basic.

We are now experimenting with a simpler tool for making animations from your images.  It deals with the first problem, since it is much much faster (I don’t quite understand why, ask our Bozo).  The speed will also let us use fancier artwork (though we haven’t got that in place yet) without the website grinding to a halt.
