I have a three second video clip of a kong, and an 8 second one that I could cut to 5 of a double kong, recorded on a mobile (I know yes) Making them very low frame rate. All I want to do is know how to quickly and easily make a GIF image to use as my avatar on here. I've tried previously and failed miserably. Dr MamBo I think this is one for you, but any help would greatly apreciated. Cheers Be like water..but don't stay frozen in place like ICE,flow and be FLUID.

I use quicktime pro to convert my files to AVI (animation shop suports avi format), then open the AVI up in animation shop, Trim it to the clips I want removing all uneeded frames, rezise and save as a .gif et voila.

I managed to make this on it - http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=2511974&albumID=613381&imageID=1549550

You'd have to watch it with no sound though... UNLESS you extracted to audio and played it in perfect sync with the GIF, and weren't bothered about not being able to pause/rewind/ff it, then you could EDIT Last one for MamBo. When it's in the anim maker it looks smooth and runs perfectly and smoothly, but when I upload to here it goes shitty and slow. WTF am I doing wrong?

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	it may be your pic hosting. where are you uploading to? Does it run smoothly once saved onto your pc? Also it would look beter if you balance the camera on a wall or something, then when it loops it looks nice and smooth and like your just constantly vaulting Last Edited By: Dr MamBo Fri, Jul 25, 2008 10:00.

When I save it I select GIF, but when I check the format once it's been saved, it says "Animation shop animation" and when I try to open THAT, it only opens within the shop, and not with photosnap or similar. What the feck? Be like water..but don't stay frozen in place like ICE,flow and be FLUID.
