Serpico Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) I was playing around with a gif animation to use for the luppinos thread: For those interested in how I done it: I created a video (.avi) using After Effects and opened the video (.avi) with Photoshop to save it as a .gif (.gifs animate) Photoshop: To edit the image/add weapons/text/city skyline cut into the characters. I added items from google images then cut the item out I wanted, then I used Layer > fill with black, to give it a silhouette look. Save it as a .png so the background is transparent. Adobe After Effects: I used after effects for the animation, I imported a .png of the text/image I made in photoshop. The fire effect was from using after effects 'Saber text plugin', its free, search youtube for a full guide on how to use it and a download link. I rendered the file as an .AVI with 'After Effects' with RGB+alpha turned on. To save a video with a transparent background, you need to turn alpha on, in the settings. I then opened the .AVI file with Photoshop and saved it as a .gif. You can do a lot more effects and animations with after effects. Highly recommend getting it and play around with it, tonnes of tutorials on google/youtube. It's great for videos / images / gif animations. Edited April 14, 2018 by Serpico 2 Link to comment
