Finality

Before I leave, I want to make sure that I was able to leave behind a legacy. Below are just some of the things that I would like to impart to the Holy Order of Knights...but sadly, nobody wish to be part of this. * it all. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: PLEASE STOP INVITING ME TO JOIN YOUR GROUP It's so annoying because I am NOT inviting you to join my group. I will immediately decline any group invitation. You can send me friend requests and I will be accepting them with open arms...if I will come back.  

Animation 101

Do you wish to know how to do animated signatures?

For example, this one:  

 

My sincerest apologies since I don't take requests regarding animated avatars/signatures/graphics. Instead, my brother and I would like to teach you how to do them instead.  

 

----------------------------

 

1. Create a stock image in Adobe Photoshop or any program that you prefer. Set it aside for later.

 

2. Download the following Programs: YouTube FLV to Avi Converter Pro and Advanced X Video Converter

 

a. YouTube FLV to Avi Converter Pro comes in handy if you wish to animate YouTube videos. 

b. Advanced X Video Converter does not extract frames from FLV files. Convert them to AVI files first.

3. Open Advanced X Video Converter. 

4. Select "Add Task" and then "Convert Video to Pictures."

 

 

5. Select a non-FLV video file that you wish to extract into frames. If you wish to extract from FLV video files, convert them to AVI first. 

6. Select a folder where you wish to store your animation frames. Click Ok.

 

 

7. Open Adobe Image Ready or whichever animation program you prefer to use.

NOTE: The following directions apply to Adobe Image Ready only.

 

a. Once the animation frames that you want have been extracted, go to File - Import - Folder as Frames. Select the folder where you stored the extracted animation frames. 

 

 

b. Resize your animation frames first (Image - Image Size), erase frames, trim/crop, move and/or adjust the time delay if you wish. 

 

 

c. Then go to Image - Canvas Size and enter the dimensions of your stock image (the one you created for step 1)

 

 

d. Paste the stock image as the bottom layer (below the animation frame layers).

 

 

Note: You can still do some optional editing job like put a border around the animation part, a topmost image of your chosen character, etc. //_^

 

e. If you're done, go to File - Save Optimized As (GIF)

 

--END OF TUTORIAL--

 

 

I look forward to seeing your animated masterpieces.

//_^
