<< am trying to use the gif as a mesh file so that i can change how it looks such as moving the eyes and mouth around. >> I think I see your confusion. A GIF can not be used as a mesh file. A GIF is a RASTER image, merely dots on the screen. A MESH is a VECTOR file format. This is a datablase which allows you to move endpoints of lines, etc. I think you may be looking for a morphing program. This program would allow you to take your RASTER image and stretch or squash it into a new picture. Or you may just be looking for a good paint and animation package. Animator Pro or (soon to be released) Animator Studio might suit your needs. -Brian
