AVSatars
Okay, screw the cat (i know what you're thinking, you sick bastard). I wan an avsatar...I have my looping AVS, I have my AVI stream, I have my GIF animator...now what? I can't figure out how to get specific frames out of WiMP and into Adobe.

... :confused: someone help me out here...

and if it's been brought up before...i searched the forums and didn't find anything. so piss off. ;)

Why do you want to screw your cat?:p

I don't think Adobe ImageReady can read .avi's. I know Jasc Animation Shop can. If you need to, you can give me the avi and I will make a gif out of it. Then you can edit it however you want.

My e-mail is anubis2003@msn.com and my AIM is anubiz2003.

except i didn't pick a compression method so it's 145 megs long.

but i got jasc and it works like a charm. thanx ^_^

No problem Atero. You are going to have to chop out a lot of frames though. What size is each frame?

actually i'm working it out...it took me a while to get the scopes to loop perfectly, but i did it - now i just need to get it at the right filesize (stupid forum limits :mad: )

Going through and deleting every other frame can help a lot. Also, jasc's optimization wizard is very nice.

<- You can imagine how much of a pain this one was... especially because on deviantart, the avatar HAS to be 50x50 so you can't cut down on image size.

yeah, well you've got a really smooth animation cos you could cut down on color depth ;)

Cool avatar, Atero :up:

That's nice atero. Moves too slowly though. Try decreasing the frame length(select all of the frames, right click, go to the properties).

Atero . . . you need something else to do other than worrying about your avatar. A hobby, or a job, or something.

im the only one with a non animated avatar ? bleh...zamuz that a looks like an o :) Atero i liked the cat more.

Phaze, hardly the only one, besides animated avatars are cool if they are not too irritating. Like a animation that has two frames, one white & one black and the speed of the frame change is 0.07sec (the fastest speed IE can actually show) :p

Still the letters are too small and transparent, and now it gets a bit boring after watching it for 3-4 seconds.

EnDurA

23rd March 2003 09:27 UTC

well, um yeah, do you only look at avatars when in forums (if you haven't noticed, every animated avatar is a loop)
