I had VirtualDub sitting in my computer the whole time, and I didn't know it could do this! Thanks for the tip Raptrex! It's a good thing I had those programs ready even before looking at the tutorial. I always wanted to make a cool animated gif with my show. Thanks a lot!

Here's a link to the gif I made using the tutorial.
I really enjoyed making the gif! I didn't know it was so easy! Animated GIF using tutorial I made the image smaller using ImageReady, so it won't be taking up so much space.  How to make the image smaller: It's best to use ImageReady for this, as the quality is better. Go to Image->Image Size...-> and then adjust as you see fit. Don't worry about just adjusting the width or just the height. ImageReady will make it proportional for you. |

I would like to edit my post.
Yeah. It was a bit slow... But I needed those frames though. The animation itself is long. I'm not really a graphics whiz. sleep.gif I might fix that GIF someday, though. EDIT: I already removed most of the frames. You can find the revised GIF in http://www.kvariety.uni.cc/etoilerevised.gif This post has been edited by snlildude87: Apr 29 2005, 11:28 AM |
