I went to this page on Zazzle: Pillars of Creation Gift Wrap (opens in a new tab), clicked the Nifty 2SlotPVA bookmarklet and got this:

the bookmarklet’s dialog for choosing an animation layout

As you can see I chose Option 4 and this is what I got after the animation maker page opened and some stuff happened behind the scenes:

The default animation created for Gift Wrap when bookmarklet option 4 was chosen - horizontal orientation, static image on left, animation on right
the default animation that got created (static image on left, animation on right)

But I wanted more, so I clicked the stop and set options button….

Options Panel for more control

If you want more control over what views are used in the animation and any text to go with it, there’s an options panel for you to use.

Above you can see what the panel looked like after I set things up for the final animation.

There are two lines of centred text, one at the top and one at the bottom abd they use the font set in the options panel.

Here’s the choices I made:

  • dragged the last image (number 12) into position 1 – that put it into the static slot on the left
  • deleted two of the original 12 product views that I didn’t want in the animation
  • clicked the button to get some random call-to-action text and edited it to put in the product name
  • changed the text option to static
  • chose the font I wanted – Emilys Candy
  • left the font-size at auto

After setting those options, I clicked the generate button to apply the changes and I got my updated animation (above).
