The Cannibal Jack O' Lantern
You can find my Cannibal Jack O Lantern alpha HERE
This tutorial is for the glow effect (above) using the following plugin
Alienskin Eye Candy 5 Impact Gradient Glow.
Before I started, I zoomed my Jack O Lantern to 200% so my Selections
would be easier to make.
STEP 1
Take your Jack O Lantern and duplicate 3x so that you have 3 layers.
This creates 3 Frames of animation in AS. (animation shop)

Now go to your Selection Tool
and choose the Lasso Rope for your FREEHAND SELECTION.
You only need to do this for the top layer.

STEP 2
When you are happy with the selections you have made, open your
Eye Candy 5 Impact and choose Gradient Glow.
Start with your Top Layer.
Here are the settings I used.

STEP 3
Now go to your 2nd layer (the middle layer) and use the same settings
but click on Random Seed at the bottom for a slight change.
Go to your last layer and click on Random Seed again.
STEP 4
Save your animation as an Animation Shop file

STEP 5
Open your animation in AS and make sure that it is working properly.
You can change the speed here by clicking on Edit and Frame Properties.

Before saving your animation you might want to use the Optimization Wizard.
These are the settings I use (most of the time) for Partial Transparency:

I hope this tutorial helps you.
