ABSTRACT:
A system and method for representing object animation, such as the movement of mouse pointers, within presentations based on software application programs or other information displayed by a computer system is disclosed herein. In one aspect the method is directed to representing animation of a mouse pointer object during creation of a presentation based on such displayed information. The method includes storing a first mouse pointer position relative to a first screen shot derived from the displayed information. In addition, a second mouse pointer position is also stored relative to a second screen shot derived from the displayed information. The method further includes displaying, with respect to the first screen shot, a previous path portion to a displayed mouse pointer position and a next path portion from the displayed mouse pointer position. The previous path portion and the next path portion are representative of a mouse pointer path traversed during playback of the presentation. In a particular implementation the first and/or second mouse pointer positions may be modified during operation in an edit mode.
