Choose a picture and choose the animation you want on it. Open both files in Animation Shop.

Now you can see how many frames the animation has; your picture needs to have the same amount of frames. Right click on the picture and choose 'duplicate selected'. You do that till the picture has the same amount of frames as the animation (sometimes you get too many frames, just stand on the last one and push the 'delete button').

Go to the first frame of the animation and click 'control A'; with this you select all frames. Do the same thing with your picture-animation (please note: always go to the first frame if you want to select all frames !!!).

Left click on the first frame of your animation, hold and drag to the first frame of your picture-animation and let go. Et voila: ready. To see how your new creation looks click the little film in the toolbar. When you don't like it, just 'undo' (picture and animation) and try again.
