Not sure what file expert is but have you checked the permissions?
If you have root explorer or es file explorer you long press on your animation and goto properties and it should say "permissions. Rw-- r- r" if not you have to change them to match
Like this

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Your supposed to move the file to system/data/local for mikg
Also the boot animation should be named bootanimation.zip, hopefully this helps....

Basically i want to delete 0078.png till 00109.png from part0 and delete part1 from 1st bootanimation.zip and add 2ndbootanimation.zip to make one. what i want is pc style bootanimation out of two files. i dont have skill to do this. i will appriciate help.
Well, I have the files and am putting it together now. You should give the original post-ers credit for their work on these. All I am doing is merging them.
I don't care if someone modifies what I put work into, but some people do. So for now, when it's done, I'll PM it to you.
thanks man i wait for it. And I will give credit to the orignal posters once its done

Yeah, I'll be jumping all over this request.
Here is something like you asked for. I didn't remove the part1 from the second animation as it needed something to loop.
I used boot animation preview in my signature to do it. It is real easy with that tool.
create the boot animation root directory
copy the "parts" in to the root directory (i did have to resize the "windows" images from 200x200 to 320x480)
select the "camera" from the toolbar
select the animation root directory
select the output directory
done
here is a preview, which boot animation preview also creates.

It has more than 500 frames.
Lowering the size would compromise image quality.
Check the Holiday Boot animation from Moto. Its more than 85 MBs.

Sorry about that. Fixed.

Bootanimation I pieced togehter.

I pieced together 3 different animations to make a single bootanimation. Credits for the original animations go to the original creators.
I figured I'd share this bootanimation with the community. If you like, then enjoy.

WARNING: INSTALLING A BOOTANIMATION IMPROPERLY CAN PREVENT ACCESS TO YOUR PHONE REQUIRING RECOVERY TO FIX. PLEASE FULLY UNDERSTAND HOW TO INSTALL A BOOTANIMATION TO PREVENT ISSUES WITH YOUR PHONE.
Instructions:
1. Download bootanimation from this link: LINK
2. You'll need root access on your phone, as well as a file manager that has root access abilities. I use ES File Explorer and have the "Root Explorer" option turned on.
3. Using your file explorer, navigate to system > media
4. In the media folder resides an existing bootanimation.zip file. Either rename that existing file to something different for use later, or overwrite it by pasting the new bootanimation.zip file.
5. Now you must ensure the permissions are set properly for the bootanimation.zip file. I posted a pic below illustrating how the permissions must be set. This step is extremely important, so ensure its done right. If not set properly, you might lose access to your phone upon booting.
6. Reboot phone, and the new bootanimation will play.
nice to bad it wont work with stock :/.....but you should make more boot animations

no, you need to be rooted and then use a root browser to replace the files. i'm on a stock rooted rom.
