Tren your transitions are fine and im glad my guide was of use to you . When I say transitions, i mean instead of having a GIF of for (a stupid) ex. Someone jumping up, instead of making him jump up then start the gif again with him at the bottom, copy the frames and paste all of them at the end of the sequence and change its order so that it looks like he lands, then you can make a pause at the end, so it shows him jumping up and down and up and down, it makes it more fluid and not like theres something big cut from the scene (which there is, but hides that fact lol)
just be creative with this kind of stuff and you can actually make gif-scenes that never happend in the anime and still have it look great Naruto4Lifer - unless the gif itself has transparancy, im not sure whether its possible to put the gif on a background of a jpg unless you use the erasor and erase all the background from the gif so it shows up on the background from the jpg which will be incredibly tedious and not worth your time. But if the background of the gif is transparent, just set the jpg img to be shown on every frame, and move the layer to the bottom, so the gif shows up OVER the jpg. good luck |

Animation makers
I've seen a lot of people on this forum make little repeating animations of anime clips, and I was wondering what software is used to do that?
I'm interested in making them myself. :-) I used to use animation shop and windows movie maker (teeeeedious), but wmm doesn't let you take screencaps anymore. |

is there an easier way to loop the gif? instead of duplicating the frame and sending it to the end of the line?
like say a gif i was making had 5 frames. Normally it goes 1 to 5 and then back to one. (Frames 1-2-3-4-5-1) is there a way to make it go frames 1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1 so its got more a fluid "back and forth" animation, but without having to duplicate ever single frame and then moving it to the end of the animation? does anyone get what im saying?

Just trying my hand at this...
Here is the same pick in 256-color mode and 32-color mode, sized 89k and 45k respectively: Spoiler for jumpin' Jin:
I'm comparing the quality of the two shots, while simultaneously showing off the work, such as it is. Fun stuff. |

avi to gif
Nothing fancy..any idiot can do this. with the exception of me.
The thing that get's my goose is that i'v tryed 7 different avi to gif programmes. And for some reason EACH AND EVERYONE OF THEM DON'T WORK I'v tried 123 avi to gif bannermaker Fancy video OSS video decompiler avi to gif and some more. Im either hexed or im doing something wrong. Errors vary from: Could't get bla bla [random set of numers] Or everything goes according to plan but i end up getting only 1 frame whil i speciafically cut out 4 frames or more. Can anyone give me a program for this wich is SURE TO WORK and ease to handle for a moron like me? thnx in advance

I can't seem to find this mentioned anywhere in this thread, so I thought I'd ask. In GIMP, is there a way to put a border on a transparent frame and have it appear on top the whole time? Or do I just have to go in and apply the border to each frame by hand, and hope that the 'combine' method will reduce the filesize? If it is possible, please include some instructions, I'm totally lost.

Borders
Note that this guide should not alter image dimensions, for that the frames/layers will not be resized and that the borders will be drawn onto the frame region. 0) You should already have all of your frame layers loaded into GIMP at this point. 1) Create a new transparent layer using the New Layer icon that is located at the bottom left of the Layers window. 2) Draw border on that transparent layer.(Be sure that the transparent layer is highlighted/selected in the layers window to avoid drawing on other layers.) http://s02.imagehost.org/0199/Border_Layer.jpg http://s02.imagehost.org/0199/Drawing_Green_Border.jpg 3) Duplicate the transparent layer for every number of frames that you are using by using the Duplicate Layer icon that is located at the center/bottom of the Layers window. (Icon looks like two stacked papers.) 4) Lower the border layers so that one of those layers are above each frame layer. http://s02.imagehost.org/0199/Lower_Layer.jpg http://s02.imagehost.org/0199/Lowered_Layers_2.jpg 5) Right-click on the border layer and select Merge Down to apply the border to the frame. (Repeat this step 5 for every number of border layers that you are using.) http://s02.imagehost.org/0199/Merge_...der_Layers.jpg 6) Border should now be on every frame. http://s02.imagehost.org/0199/After_Merge.jpg Final Example: |

Thanks for the input, although that's not really any different than just applying the border to each frame in the image editor of your choice. Since the frames should all be the same size anyway, you can just create an overlay, then copy onto each pic and save. Same result either way.
I was hoping I could apply one master layer and have part of it (a specific color, say) be transparent, but it looks like I'd have to pay for a bigger program for that feature. Not that applying the border manually is really that hard, I'm just always on the lookout for a good shortcut. |
