great, thanks very much mray & konstantin - i will have a look
at both sozi & synfig :) i think blender is probably a bit more
than i need & might take more time to learn, but i do hope that
one day i can start to get my head around it.<br>

<pre wrap="">hi everyone,
i am seeking advice on 2 questions:
firstly, i'm working on an installation which includes projected
animated text. previously i've done this in a basic but effective way
with powerpoint. this time, i want more control over the animations than
powerpoint allows, and it needs to be a looping video as it's going to
be left running on its own. can anyone recommend a good software for
text animation?
secondly, i need to upgrade my laptop & have decided to make the
transition to linux. mint has been recommended to me for the OS. does
anyone out there have any advice regarding choice of hardware? ideally i
want a small laptop with a dvd drive, ethernet port, & separate audio in
& out ports.
all ideas much appreciated,
h : )

the best thing to look for is probably sozi,
as it is by definition animated slides:

(as you can see in the demo frame it runs in the browser)
if you are talking about serious animations:
have a look at synfig studio <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.synfig.org">http://www.synfig.org</a> if you need more
another solution to animate text is blender <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.blender.org/">https://www.blender.org/</a>
