Recommended Posts

well you may have seen my running/swimming mudkip sig

1) make your normal everyday banner/sig

2) save it

3) go to the layers dialog and delete the renders layer

4)add new layer exactly where other render layer was, move the render to a different location

5)after completing each "scene" and saving them all! close it and open the first 1 (open it with "open as layer!")

6) open the rest with open as layer in numerical order.

7) go to save, name it and save it s .GIF

8) a screen will pop-up, select Save as Animation

9) on the next screen, select you speed and hit save/continue

10) open it with photobucket/tinypic/ect.

 

End Result -

You can also customize the speed for each layer. Go into the layer box right-click the layer then go into layer properties, then you should see something that has EX: 1000 ms or something to do with speed. make the number smaller for faster, bigger for slower.

 

good tut.

Good tut, probably the most straightforward animation tut I've seen recently.

 

Wow' date=' great tut. Thanks :)

 

But, doesn't doing this with PhotoScape AniGif make it MUCH easier? [i'](while assuming you don't want to fiddle with Layers or edit the image)[/i].

No, as it requires you to use PhotoScape and kills the purpose.

I make them kind of different. I use the Copy visible and paste as layer script by fencepost.

For this sig it would be faster to do that script each time you move the layer and make the copied layers invisible. When your done delete all the other layers. Then continue from step 7.
