is there no way to create a line of different frames for an animation? i don't want them all to be duplicates.

Re: 7-13-17
You will have to edit each one individually. What I do, for example, is I'll start a file, it will have one animation frame. I will then create a duplicate frame. I will then edit the new 2nd frame and make sure nothing is visible but the blank black background, then rapid-click and create a bunch of new frames based on frame 2.

My opactiy trick for the Madman Marz gif:
When I am far enough along in creating the gif, once the animation gets to the point where there are only 9 remaining frames in the first GIF and I want to blend it into the second gif, that is when I start the opacity. With 9 frames left in GIF1, I select that layer of the gif in that frame, and make it 90% opacity. In that same frame, I will select the very first layer of GIF2 and make it 10% opacity. Next frame, 80% GIF1, 20% GIF2 and so on.

Re: 7-13-17
yeah, i get that i'll have to edit each frame. the issue is that when i go to edit one frame, it will affect all of the frames in that animation set.
or do i have to create a new set of frames to edit each one? and if that's the case, how do i put them together without any new frame just copying over all of the other frames that i put them together with? i may be overcomplicating this.

Re: 7-13-17
i'm about ready to just send you the gifs and give you an idea of what i want, so you can do it.... ugh.
Re: 7-13-17
I believe that if you edit the very first frame, it will effect every other frame. This shouldn't be the case when you edit the rest of the frames. Let me know if that's what you mean.

Youtube tutorials MAY be helpful. But you'd have to sift through a few of them to find one that targets what you're actually trying to do. If I were able to record the process, I would just do that and narrate my entire process of making it in the next banner I make.
Re: 7-13-17
no, i guess i'm doing something really wrong. but any time i edit a single frame, it does the same to all of the other frames that i've created.
Re: 7-13-17
right now, i'm just trying to drag a different image into each frame. to see if i can even make a simple (bad) animation.

https://www.techwalla.com/articles/make ... toshop-cs2 <-- is that accurate at all, to what you do? it doesn't seem to be accurate to what i can do with the program i'm using.
Re: 7-13-17
I think I see what you mean. You don't necessarily drag images into frames. The images that are in your layers are technically in every single frame. Some you just can't see. Have you noticed the column of eyeballs in your layer window? Some are visible and some aren't? If you want an image to be viewed in a certain frame, select the frame, then make the eyeball visible on whatever image(layer) you want to be seen in that frame. Make sense?zombie wrote:right now, i'm just trying to drag a different image into each frame. to see if i can even make a simple (bad) animation.
Re: 7-13-17
I kind of had trouble trying to figure out what they mean at certain points. So possibly not. :pzombie wrote:https://www.techwalla.com/articles/make ... toshop-cs2 <-- is that accurate at all, to what you do? it doesn't seem to be accurate to what i can do with the program i'm using.
Re: 7-13-17
that seems really messy and overcomplicated, but it works.
Re: 7-13-17
i'm trying to remove a watermark, or cover it or whatever, that i got with one of the gifs i saved. how to do that!
Re: 7-13-17
Are you talking about like a logo or company name in the corner of the gif or something?zombie wrote:i'm trying to remove a watermark, or cover it or whatever, that i got with one of the gifs i saved. how to do that!
Re: 7-13-17
uh huh. i may have to go look for a different video or gif, but i hoped i could just edit out of what i have...Jason wrote:Are you talking about like a logo or company name in the corner of the gif or something?zombie wrote:i'm trying to remove a watermark, or cover it or whatever, that i got with one of the gifs i saved. how to do that!
Re: 7-13-17
but either way, i think i can actually start making gifs of my own. so thanks for all of the help.
Re: 7-13-17
It could be a simple fix, or a really difficult fix. I'm not sure what the gif is, or what the logo looks like, but there are different ways to do it. If the logo is small enough, and the background behind the logo is a specific color, the fix is pretty easy.zombie wrote:uh huh. i may have to go look for a different video or gif, but i hoped i could just edit out of what i have...Jason wrote:Are you talking about like a logo or company name in the corner of the gif or something?zombie wrote:i'm trying to remove a watermark, or cover it or whatever, that i got with one of the gifs i saved. how to do that!
What's the background behind the logo look like? All black or complicated? :p
