Impact Finale Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Does anyone know how to put an animation gif as part of a sig? I've seen some people pull this off. Is it really complicated? Quote
jafTwo Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Well, I'll give it a try...... ----------------------- [edit] Okay, this seems to work: go to your User Control Panel (upper right hand corner) click "Profile" then "Edit Avatar" then "Upload from your machine" (Browse) Hope this helps. Quote

This is puting a gif into a sig for everyone too see right ? Just wonderin, thanks for helping..i'll try it out Ummmm I believe what you gave me tips for was how to put a gif in my avatar. Like i made a signature already. Then i found a small gif that I want to place somewhere within the signature. After that i want to upload my signature (Which i already know how to do) but i want the signature to work and have its 14 frames rather then 1. I'll try to find examples. Quote
david.atwell Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 You can upload animated GIFs to Photobucket. Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him.
Impact Finale Posted February 27, 2009 Author Posted February 27, 2009 You can upload animated GIFs to Photobucket. How would uploading a gif to photobucket help me put it on my sig? Like I made the sig already and the gif is a small square. I want it to get in the left hand corner of the sig. Quote

Simon Brown Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 How would uploading a gif to photobucket help me put it on my sig? Signatures must be hosted off-site, your problem might be that you're using a host that doesn't support animated GIFs. Quote

Simon Brown Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 You need a program that can edit animated GIF files. Quote
Kemaru Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 So you're saying you want to place it in your signature banner? Not the space, but into the image? Quote Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule. |fb(page)|portfolio|blog|

someone93 Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 You need a program that can edit animated GIF files. Why not use your "animated image" plugin? Quote
Impact Finale Posted February 28, 2009 Author Posted February 28, 2009 how do i do this with the animated plugin and where do i find it ? !!! Alright i installed it. It's pretty hard to use. I don't see it appearing in any of the options. It was brown's anime plugin. Am i doing anything wrong? and what are the steps to put a gif in the sig? Something about a frame in each layer? i dun get it . Quote
someone93 Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 From the plugin page: Here is a plugin to open and save animated GIFs, one frame into each layer. You will have to rename them to .agif to be imported and rename them after saving (I did this to avoid conflict with the built-in GIF handler). Place this plugin in the FileTypes folder. Open the animation (read above). Make a layer with your sig beneath all of the animation frames. Merge each frame layer to the sig layer beneath it. Save as agif, then change the file extension to .gif (as stated above). Quote
Simon Brown Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Note that you must also change the extension to .agif before opening. Quote
someone93 Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Open the animation (read above). I thought that was pretty clear... :? Quote

Do i just go Open and search for the GIF? or is there a way to do it through the gif maker? and how do i rename then .agif before importing? Please use detail. thanks again. Quote
Simon Brown Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 You need to set explorer to show file extensions. Quote
Impact Finale Posted February 28, 2009 Author Posted February 28, 2009 You need to set explorer to show file extensions. I don't use explore i use mozilla. But i'm pretty new at this.. so umm could you put it in lamer terms on some easy steps i have to take right after i move the file into file types? Thanks. Quote
Simon Brown Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 To clarify, you use mozilla for file management? Also, do you mean Firefox? As far as I know Mozilla is a framework. Quote
Impact Finale Posted February 28, 2009 Author Posted February 28, 2009 To clarify, you use mozilla for file management? Also, do you mean Firefox? As far as I know Mozilla is a framework. I use firefox.. but shouldn't this whole gif anime program that you made work on the paint program? Why is it that internet browser is so important. Quote
Impact Finale Posted February 28, 2009 Author Posted February 28, 2009 I mean Windows Explorer. Alright.. So give me some easy steps to follow once i get the zip locked file. That way i don't get lose along the way ..lol Quote
