I know this will make me looke like a noob (can't believe I jsut said that) but can someone tell me how to make gifs? I'm tired of using pictures and I wanna use videos.

 

[Silver Spider]

^I think a lot of people don't know. I know I don't.

To you guys talking about transformation, M.S. Feather was talking about Molten Man.

[SpaceWay2009]

What are "Gifs"?

And M.S Feather: Thanks for the avatars! They are really nice! I don't know how you do them.

 

[SymbioticToxin]

Gifs are moving icons and avatars pretty much

 

[SpaceWay2009]

Oh, in that case, then I also prefer/want Gifs. What does that stand for anyway?

 

[SymbioticToxin]

Thats a good question. We should ask the smartest source ever: Google.

 

[Silver Spider]

Graphics Interchange Format

 

[SymbioticToxin]

Or we could ask Silver Spider, lol. Thanks man.

 

[SpaceWay2009]

Thanks.

And you're right, SymbioteToxin. I should have looked up on Google. LOL!

 

[Silver Spider]

You're welcome.t:

Sorry Dusk, I probably should have clarified that. My bad.

I know this will make me looke like a noob (can't believe I jsut said that) but can someone tell me how to make gifs? I'm tired of using pictures and I wanna use videos.

It's actually not all that difficult if you have the proper tools. The most important of which would be a graphics editor that can handle gifs and animations. I personally use Adobe ImageReady to edit and create gifs.

After I choose the scene I want, I take frame by frame screen caps in a program like Windows Movie Maker and save them to a new folder. I usually take caps from a DVD but since season two of Spectacular Spider-Man isn't out on DVD yet I have to settle for videos yanked from YouTube (which works fine but the quality suffers quite a bit as you all can tell).

After I have all the pictures I need, I import the folder as frames which automatically lays the images out in proper succession (you could also do it manually if you wanted but for the sake of laziness, let's not).

From this point you can edit your animation whichever way you like. Crop it, delete or add frames to make it run smoother, adjust the speed/file size, etc...

When you're happy with it, save the optimized animation in gif format and you should wind up with something like this...

That's how I do it anyway. t:

 

[Silver Spider]

That is so awesome.
How exactly do you take frame by frame screen caps, though? On Window's Movie Maker, I mean.

 

[M.S. Feather]

That is so awesome.

Pause the video where you want it, then click the "take picture" button which should be located on the far right of the control panel directly under the video viewer (if you're using Windows Vista then I think you may have to go into the Tools menu at the top of the screen and choose "take picture from preview" for each frame).

After you save the first frame you want click the "next frame" button on the control panel to move up a frame and save again. Repeat this over and over until you have all the pics you want...or just get tired of doing it.

 

[Silver Spider]

Thanks.
I knew how to take a picture, I just forgot about the "next frame" button.
I thought I was going to have to press play and pause REALLY fast to get the next frame.t:

 

[SpaceWay2009]

Thanks for the instruction, Feather. But I think I'll just let you do the work. LOL!

 

[M.S. Feather]

Thanks for the instruction, Feather. But I think I'll just let you do the work. LOL!

Just giving you guys an example of how it can be done since you were curious. ^^

I would love forever the man (or woman) who makes some Identity Crisis avatars.

I really need to find some higher quality episodes somewhere...
