Apologies for cross-posting.
I have updated one of my Cataloging Matters podcasts, the cartoon one
that is an imagined conversation between a library patron and the
library catalog.

This includes a link to the animation alone, without my commentary.
Please share this with anyone else you think may be interested.
I discovered a few months ago that my former animation and podcast had
"disappeared" and have received several requests to put it back up. I
found a new tool called "GoAnimate" which is much superior to the former
one. I discuss this a bit toward the end of the podcast.
For those who may be curious, I wound up doing a lot of the work using a
very powerful video editor called "Lightworks" which has been used for
professional films and is now open source. I had never used it before,
but it wasn't too difficult to use in a simple way. The main problems I
had were with exporting and importing. In spite of all of the
conversions, the final product is OK (I think). I am sure someone who
knew more could have done a better job. The tools I used were:
* GoAnimate
* Export mp4 to Youtube
* Audacity (to record my commentary, which I use for all of my audio
podcasts)
* Eyeframe (to be able to convert the mp4 for use in Lightworks)
* Lightworks
* Export from Lightworks to avi (for an 18 minute video, the file size
was over 30 gigs!!)
* ConvertAVItoMP4 (to bring the file size down)
* Add MP4 to the Internet Archive
* Add/change everything in my blog
