Enough people asked me how to make an animated gif, i decided to build a tutorial and post it to make it easier for all of us! Good luck! There is a second part so don't miss it.
I just have to thank you. Without this tutorial, I would have never known about this GIF animator, and even if I did, I would still have to figure out how to use it. So, THANK YOU!!!
It just means it can't read the file... have you done anything with it? changed it? uploaded it or downloaded it from the internet? I'm sorry to tell you I dont think there's a way you can fix it, if the file is bad then the file is bad.
Search the internet for a program like Open Canvas or some other freebee. Anything that can open your pictures and save them as gifs will work, you dont have to be able to draw on it.
No big deal ^^ It gets all speckled because the gif filetype only has a few cooperative colors to choose from... if the pic you've drawn has colors not in the gif rainbow it adjusts by making it speckly... it wont turn your image to binary code or gobbledygook or anything ^^ Go ahead and save the files... a good way to counteract this is before you save it, copy it, then save it as a gif and paste the copied image over the top of the spekly image and the colors will iron out. They won't be exaclty the ones you were using before but they'll at least be solid fields of color... if you've got any other questions just ask
hey, what happends if it says, "saving it in this format may cause some color information may be lost" i dont get it... if i save it anyway like that what happends.. @@
The animator your going to have to download no two ways about it... if you're missing paint any drawing program will do as long as you can save it as a gif. If you can't do that email me and I'll help you out more.
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!! i always wondered how to do custom animation and now i can do it!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!....ummm....hehe i just did a little stick figure animation doing jumping jacks...nothing biggie...=P
