Add artist copyright.
Mask sure all your elements and your tube have a drop shadow.
Starting with your top layer, merge down one by one until you reach the tube. Include the tube in this merged layer.
X-out this layer now, highlight a bottom layer and merge visible all layers.
Ok now make sure your bottom layer is highlighted in layers palette.
Go to Selections, select all.

Go back to PSP now and highlight (activate) your tube layer and copy.

Go to Edit, Paste, paste into selected frames.
Try to position it as centered as possible. Click into place.

Don't forget to add your name.

To save:
Go to File, Save as, enter the name of your file and select the folder to save to.
Now click on Customize:
Under COLORS TAB:
Number of colors: 255 Colors
Create palette by: OPTIMIZED OCTREE
Reduce colors by: Error Diffusion
Under OPTIMIZATIONS TAB:
set a check mark beside the second, third and forth choices. UN-check the 1st and last.
Under PARTIAL TRANSPARENCY:
check Convert pixels less than 92
Yes, blend with this color: change to white #FFFFFF
Click OK. Click Next, next, next, next.
Play your animation.
At times your animation may or will come out terrible. Optimization in Animation Shop is not the greatest.
You can play around will your settings, especially under the Tab: Optimization. I change this setting at times from anywhere between 70 and 100.
Some people add a white background.  To add background, go to Animation: Animation Properties, select Opaque and change color to white.

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial,
