Clem Posted June 18, 2002 Posted June 18, 2002 does ne1 know of a gif animator that can take apart animated gifs into their seperate frames ... like say ... divine spirits flag avatar .... making it all black and white (just to be different) and then putting it back together with his permission of course (take this as asking divine please reply)
Wacky_Baccy Posted June 18, 2002 Posted June 18, 2002 MS GIF Animator does that (it's freeware, but hard to get hold of - M$ have 'incorporated' it into another software package so you have to buy a load of other stuff to get it) - nothing fancy, but it does its job well, and has all the standard options (frame delay, undraw, trailing comment, etc.). I found a copy a few days ago, but I've lost the URL ... I'll upload it to my webspace and give you the link if you want it
DannyJAllTheWay Posted June 18, 2002 Posted June 18, 2002 Paintshop Pro(animation shop). I think that'll do the trick.

Clem Posted June 19, 2002 Author Posted June 19, 2002 y does mine look smoother?! is it becauses its monochrome so its smaller?! sum1 answer oh and divine CHEEEEEEERSSS
Wacky_Baccy Posted June 19, 2002 Posted June 19, 2002 Originally posted by Darth Clem y does mine look smoother?! The delay between the frames is one third less than in Divine's - I did that inadvertantly at first, but decided it looked a bit better so I left it... I'll change it if you want is it becauses its monochrome so its smaller?! It's actually bigger than the full colour one - but only because I was a bit lazy, and didn't optimise it It still loads faster than Divine's for me, though... Weird..
Clem Posted June 19, 2002 Author Posted June 19, 2002 i like it .... but if the frame delay is a 1/3 less surely it should take less time to loop but it takes about the same time now unless u put more frames in to fill gaps

All hail GIF king!
Wacky_Baccy Posted June 19, 2002 Posted June 19, 2002 Eh? It does take less time to loop... Look closer [Edit] ROFL, Divine
Clem Posted June 19, 2002 Author Posted June 19, 2002 waccy how many frames is that gif? i have an idea but if theres loadsa frames i wont be arsed
Wacky_Baccy Posted June 19, 2002 Posted June 19, 2002 Ten frames I think... Do you want me to put an animated "Hey, you there!" like on your old avatar in it or something?
Clem Posted June 19, 2002 Author Posted June 19, 2002 nah i wanted to run it thru some photoshop filters n see what it looks like .... what prog did u use to deconstruct it ... i must play with it
Wacky_Baccy Posted June 19, 2002 Posted June 19, 2002 what prog did u use to deconstruct it ... Microsoft GIF Animator I found it nearly impossible to get hold of when I last tried, though (it took me several hours of Google-trawling a few days ago to find it), so check your PMs for a link to it on my webspace (I forgot the original URL )
Clem Posted June 19, 2002 Author Posted June 19, 2002 how do u take each picture out individually wacky? its only letting me save the whole thing eek
Wacky_Baccy Posted June 19, 2002 Posted June 19, 2002 I was wondering when the first tech help question would arrive You'll have to select and copy the frame and paste it into an image editor, do whatever you want with it, then save it as a GIF. Do that with all of them, and then open MS GIF Anim. and open the last frame first (I have no idea why, but it works backwards - you have to insert them in reverse order, but it runs from top to bottom, so the first frame is at the top - complicated, I know ). Then click the Insert button (between the Save and Save As ones - it has a yellow cross on it) and select the last-but-one frame (reverse order, remeber), and repeat that for the rest, working your way back to the first frame (it helps if you have all the frames in one folder). HTH
Clem Posted June 19, 2002 Author Posted June 19, 2002 plan foiled cant do transparent colour for frames 2 - 10 cos its repeated in flag so i give up for now untill i got more time
Divine Spirit Posted June 19, 2002 Posted June 19, 2002 now i wouldnt be really really annoying by asking if you would make my delays between frames shorter, would i? after looking at darth clem's and then back at mine it doesnt seem quite right- it looks too slow here's a pre-emptive thanks!
