ryry1283 Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Does anybody know how to make animated GIFs, like for signatures and avatars, out of MPEG video? I have quite a few video programs but I cannot quite figure out how to accomplish such a feat. If anybody has any insight into the topic, please share!Thanks,Ryan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dragon Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 hi ryry,I can help out a little bit on that, however it is a bit tricky.open the MPEG with windows movie maker, or even better use flash if yo have it, this will split the movie up into indiviual frames, next take the frames you want to use for animation and copy them into separate files. for example frame1.jpg, frame2.jpg, frame3.jpg etc...I wouldn't use more then 3 or 4 frames at the most. next open a program like Animation shop 3, part of the Corel Paint Shop pro programming system, and use the images you saved from windows movie maker as the images for the animation. Make the necessary adjustments for time and sequence, and there you go. you just made an avatar or sig out of a MPEG. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
