Animated GIF pics - Jocke The Beast - 06-24-2003

I recently disovered that it's possible to make animated gif pics (as in logos to a website or whatever). As I've never been interested in neither painting or animation I would be happy if someone told me how to make my own animted gif-logo-pic (and that without mocking me too much) :wink:

uhh..I have a shareware version of PSP...very dusty though 8)

I think psp 7 has an Animation Studio or something similar... it allows export to animated gif, AVI, etc. You just add the images you want in the proper order and - voila - instant animation. Smile

I use gif construction set for everything. It's a really easy to use program, despite its age. http://www.betterwebber.com/test/gifcon32.zip

i'm interested in this also. I'm been wanting to make my own animated avatar for a few weeks now, but don't know how to animate.

Photoshop comes now with Imageready. You can do really cool effects with it. I have to explore it, though. I've only managed to do what I did with that GIF construction set ... I need more research.

Isn't it... vice versa?

Photoshop 7, the animation program that's also by Adobe (forgot the name) and a few months of experience with both is all you need to make kickass graphics Smile

No.

However, that "now" Nathe mentions is since Photoshop 5.0.

1998. Now. :-?

BTW, some tutorials and links of interest:

http://graphicssoft.about.com/cs/imagereadyani/
http://www.agag.com/forum/, and
http://www.home.eznet.net/~stevemd/animinst.html, this being pretty complete.

I'd refrain from making an animated avatar, considering that some people here suffers the "explorer-loads-the-images-first-and-then-the-content" syndrome. Animated GIFs compression scheme usually yields big file sizes.

Ok, I've downloaded Joe's gif construction set.
Thanks for all the quick answers, guys.

Since 5.5, actually (5.0 didn't have it, at least mine). Sorry for that "now"... hehehe NITPICKER :!
