I am having trouble making an animated .gif. I have Gimp 2.8.

I go to file --> open as layers and open the screenshots I will be using. After I playback what the animation is going to look like, I then go to file --> save as but it will not let me save it as a gif. It tells me to go to file --> export which I do. When I go to save it as a .gif, I tick the boxes as animation and loop forever. After that it still doesn't work. Could someone explain what I'm doing wrong?

Hi,
  I was wondering how I might go about recreating something like this:

My concerns lie only with the excution (i.e. making gifs, possibly from video clips, sizing of gifs and canvas so everything is equal, etc.) and not the coloring. :) As detailed as possible would be great; I'm rusty with GIMP and even worse with animations. I use Windows and GIMP 2.2.4.  Thanks!

Is there a tutorial for the animation of a candle flame flickering?  I have gone through the animation posts here and didn't stumble across one.  I would like to animate the flame in this image:


I can understand if the flame won't be able to move since the background isn't one color, but is there a way to make it glow?

Something like this: http://icon-tutorial.livejournal.c… or http://icon-tutorial.livejournal.c…

Thanks for the help!

I made my first gif today!



I wanted to make a gif from a few TV shows I downloaded a while ago, but they won't load. I changed the extension, but it never works. Do you guys have any reason why? Why won't iTunes videos work?

How would I go about making an icon like this?

(by: ??)
I have nothing to go on for this one - not even a tut written for PS. :( Can somebody please help?

I recently made my first couple GIFS using this to make it and GIMP to edit it. The timing confuses me and I've edited it in the layers tab and I'm quite positive I'm doing something wrong. I don't see a difference if I go 100ms or 10ms. I just would like it to go a little faster.

She wanted to know how the text was done for this icon:

I know how to animate - save as a .GIF animation.

But I want an image to fade between some images. How do I do that, short of making each frame myself?

Hi! I'm new to the comm and to Gimp as well. I've been playing around with it and have made quite some nice icons. I'm now trying to make animated/gif icons. My only problem is the file size. As we all know, LJ only allows icons to be 40kb or smaller. Is there any way to save the file in a smaller size without compromising the frame count or image quality?

I hope someone can help me out here. Thanks!

I am, perhaps, very blind, but I can't find help on this anywhere.  

I have this vid clip (pulled using GAP) that I want to have fade to white before restarting.  I'm sure there must be a way to take the final vid image and a full white frame and have GIMP / GAP extrapolate the fade, but I'm darned if I can figure it out.  Or, if not, then does anyone have a decent way to accomplish this effect even if it's a bit more labor intensive?



Quality and file size issues will be dealt with at a later time.  Any and all help gratefully accepted (even if it's just to point me to something I should've found on my own).
