.gif movie clips...? do I have everyone Stumped??

[Prez]

Hey I have been seeing alot of those .bmp short movie clip things around. How do you make those?

A guy has one as his avatar with that canadian kid thinking he is a jedi.

.bmp is a Bitmap, a static image.

I think that you mean a .gif, you'll need some sort of animation software to make one. I don't know of anyeasy to use applications.. perhaps someone else will..

 

[Prez]

Well I have seen several different ones apear recentlly. There has to be some sort of software because they are apearing very quickly all over the forums I visit... and no one that has one knows how to make them.

show us one...you must mean a .gif, if you do all you need id ulead gif animator 5 and an mpeg...

 

[Prez]

This is one for example... and they look to be in GIF format sorry my bad.

so do I have everyone Stumped?

Not really ... one way you could do it would be to rip the frames from a movie clip, and then combine them together with Animation Shop or something similar.

I'm sure there's an easier alternative to it. Now that you've cleared the fact that it is a .gif and not a .bmp, people will be able to help you out better.

A gif is a bunch of bmp's put together. You need Ulead Gif Animator if you want a freeware one. I have to find the link though. Very easy to use once you have the bmp's.

Or as NetRyder said. ^^^^^

OK found two places.

1/ ftp://ftp.futurenet.co.uk/pub/pcformat/gif animator.zip

2/ http://www.pcformat.hu/download/Gif Animator.zip

As I said it is easy to use. Enjoy.

it's easy with ulead, just open it up, close the wizard, click new > add video, select the video, click duration, set the start and end points and you're away!
