How to make a .GIF Firstly, you'll need an image animation program. I prefer GIMP. Gimp For Windows Gimp For Macintosh 1. Creating multiple layers or slides Since an animated GIF is just different slides put together, you first need to create them. Go into Microsoft paint or whatever program you use and create a new document. Just create something basic like a dot. Save this as a .png and create another document (same size as last) and place a dot, just a little moved over. Keep doing this for about 5 slides or something. 2. Next open GIMP. First thing to do is hit control+L which brings up layers. Open where you saved the circles, and drag and drop each one into the layers thing. Make sure they're in order or else it won't work correctly. Go to window>animation>playback. Hit play and it will show the circles moving. 3. Important stuff about gimp How to save Go to save as. Open it and type in YOURFILENAMEHERE.gif gimp will automatically save it as a gif when you type in .gif. How to set a transparency Use the wand brush tool, click on the white, and hit control+x. It will delete the white and leave transparent. Questions? Ask me P.s. I'll add a video soon |

Ignore all these other links and just go to http://tinyurl.com/tpndesigns Follow his site to the .gif image tutorials. Download what he tells you (they are safe, I checked). Basically it's like a post-it-note animation. Just edit one image, save it, edit it, save it. Then when you are ready, insert them into the .gif maker and it will create a .gif image out of them. (Make sure to save all original editted files as .gif and not .png). This site is the quickest and easiest to understand in my opinion Good luck. |
