I can't seem to find Slomo, I think it may be 3Am in Russia, so if anyone here has any photoshop skills? I have a question. I have a banner with lightning and fire but as soon as I add the text or a logo, the animation stops.

I used angel luv's sig to test out my system ,and as you can see once I add her name the animation quits..

http://www.cikava.com/gallery/albums/Mouses-House-of-Fun/angel_luv.gif



Is it cuz I am using the trial version of EasyGif and that feature is only for the paid version ,or is it something else? feel free to try the free 30 day softwear for yourself if you need to see what I am doing wrong

I think your going to have to do the text part first then cut and paste the animations, I am not sure, let me play with that softwear first. Is this the right one?

Thanks for the reply I was in the troll forum looking for my topic :lmao

Maybe Kori can move it when she sees it. That is the softwear. I used the fire for another gif and same thing. here are 3 more that stop when the text is added.

I will try the copy and paste , I just don't like it, it's a pain in the ass, and it doesn't look the same. Maybe I need to try another softwear. I need Slomo. What time do those folks in Poland wake up? :smokin

I think you need to talk to King, I heard he does animations, and movies for many years. Who was the guy that made the Troll banner? Does he still post here? That dude is the shit :)

As soon as I hit the add text icon the animation stops, maybe it does not have the feature I am looking for. I should have never said i would do Banners for the Kings fans until i had my shit together :wakeup

OK you're creating layers with the flames and the txt together. If you do that you must take care that you also change the background flames. Anyway you are doing it the hard way.

Open this file: http://www.cikava.com/images/temp/KGB (http://www.cikava.com/images/temp/KGB_fire.psd)_fire.psd (http://www.cikava.com/images/temp/KGB_fire.psd)

in imageready, look at the animation frame by frame and see what happens to the different layers (specially the layers with the txt on a transparent background).

And you'll understand how I made this:

Mouse you can make the same effect with only one txt layer, but I made 4 so that it's more obvious how it works.

Dude you must have been born with a 3/4 inch floppy for a penis, How you know all this shit? when our parents gave us a rattle in our cribs, your parents gave you a Blackberry :lmao


I found out that when I slow down the animation I used up more frames and the file gets bigger. The Banners are comming out over 1MB each. That is going to kill my Banner making buisness since I hardly have 50 MB to play with. I think I will stick to plan non animated Banners.


How about I just send you the banners? :smokin

Thanks again, you can go back to bed now it looks like it will be another long crazy night, I have not slept since yesterday, this Animation shit is addictive.

You can move this topic to the pocket protector forum now ....:)

I only have 3Gb's left on my HD so It will be close to crash city but I will download it asap and read your PSD file you posted. I need to finish these sigs before the season starts,

Did you ever get to try out that EasyGif animator yet?

Did you ever get to try out that EasyGif animator yet?Well you should just throw away everything else and install Photoshop CS and Imageready CS. These are the two things you need to do everything pictures.

I've seen quite a few programs that claim they are easier to use and give the same result, but its usually a lie. They are either more complicated or don't let you do what you want.

Don't be put off by all the options in photoshop. Those you don't understand you just ignore and move on. For animation it's very simple, you put each of the elements you want to anim on a separate layer and then you finish the anim in imageready. You'll have full control over all the elements of your anim.

Have you ever tried - gone through -the anim gif tutorial I sent you the link sometimes ago?

I haven't tried the easygif animator because it's not licence free and we have very strict policies about software on the company's PCs. But it doesn't change the fact that I can do a gif better and faster with imageready than with any software similar to easygif.

PS: she is single :)Funny you mentioned that. It took me a month to send one bottle to Batman, because of some new FDA regulations it was refused by all the different carriers I tried to use.

Finally I just packed it in some bubble wrap and mail it to the US. They didn't ask and I didn't tell and it worked :lol

Hey Slo!
Thanks for all the help you can lock this now if you want. Or move it to the geek forum :lmao

Hey I found some disc's and they all seem to be part of the Adobe family I think.

The Adobe CS asked for a password so I will have to look for the box it came in :smokin

But have you heard of Dream Suite? and I found After Affects ,Boom toon ,and Magix movie maker. Are all those a waste of HD space?

I also have a 1997 Broderbund it has desktop maker and print shop photo pro etc.. Should I install that?
One last question, If I use a password from another Adobe CS will the automatic update softwear alert them on the other end? Like the spy Doctor folks do when you update it they shut you down when you share passwords.

Not that you would know from expericance, but I thought you might have a friend who tried.

The one thing I found hard to do is the Bling effect. You ever make homemade diamonds? I forget who made this for me but he was good. If you know how? give up some secrets brah!


http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a79/donmegga/other/trolls_animation.gif


If you have any cool links to where I can get them already made, or any cool textures you want to share from your personal stash? go ahead and post them.
I still cant find that picture you used for the Club banner is that on TCM?

As far as I know Adobe requires a password, but does not have a mandatory registration process, so your "friends" might get away with it. Anyway you do not need to worry about it since you have the box.

I don't really have a stash, when I need something I go and look for it on Google images and Flickr.

The Club images is here: http://tuukka.iki.fi/nighthawks.jpg, but if you're looking for all the nice people in it, you'll have to look for them yourself :)

The bling effect is easy it's the same spark copy/pasted on several layers and then thos layers are animated. Fet imageready and photoshop and lovely designs like that will hold no secret for you :lol

10-27-2006, 11:20 AM
Yes the sparkle part of the bling looks to be about 8 frames of the same effect, but the silver part that is supposed to look like the diamond is tricky, I don't think I can learn that over night.

Did you visit that link I posted on the 160 + pages of GIFs? I want to use some of them on the banners like these...............

Seriously, open any of these gifs in imageready and each frame will be on its own layer, you can then save them in .psd format and do whatever you want with them very easily (yes even the logo change :flipoff).

The water effect is the ripple effect from photoshop applied several times with different offsets - again easy.

All the best stuff is usually done in those two programs (which btw complement each other) so stop playing around and start using/learning those two.




And btw, THAT'S a GTG:

Although I'm more a specialist for the equipment (hardware&software) that is used to create the animations than animations themselves. But I do train operator to use the systems we sell/install.

I'm sorry but your creativity is killing my bandwidth!

I had to switch off hotlinking from my server because there was so much traffic I couldn't surf the internets anymore

Anyway just post the link to your gallery or to the picture and people can download (save as) it where ever they want.

Probably the best way is to post a link to the gallery page where the picture is displayed.


Sorry, but until I get a faster internet link I have to do this.
