animated gif

[Generic1]

Hi,

I have one drawing and now I will make an animated gif. Does anyone know how I can make 10 pictures from one picture (every one a little displaced) and than to make an animated gif with Paint.Net?

Thanks a lot,

All the best,

Without knowing what sort of movement you want to show

Thanks a lot, this is a great help, My intention is to make My link this one moving -> from left to right and also the arms.

Have you any idea how I can do this without drawing the sketch x times?

Thanks!!

You can duplicate the image to several layers, and distort them as desired, then save the GIF:

Here I used 6 layers distort them with Sinwave plugin with increment of 60 degrees for each layer:

And here is the PDN file:

Stickman has the moves and the groove!

I would have one mor question to this topic, now I have distored the different layers and I wanted to store the gif -> In order to store the gif the layers have to be merged.

My question would be, how you have done the saving of the gif from Paint.net or did you store every extra layer in an gif an than made an animated gif with an extra programm?

Thanks a lot!!

You can easily save each layer as aseparate file using Layer Saver but in this case I don't think it's necessasry.

Just save your work as a *.pdn file. That will save all the layers, as they are, in one file.

I still have another question,

My proceeding is like this:

1. I make a copy of the original layer

2. with the sinwave plugin I try to distore the sketch

My problem is that if I distore the image in the copied layer, the distored image overlays the image with the original position -> but I want only to distore the image without the image in the original position

Does anybody have any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!!

if you are using the PDN plugin for animated giffs, you put each distort in a seperate layer-ignore the "overlay" look because when you are finished, it will read each layer in sequence and you will have no overlay in the animation

however, it is questions like this that make me prefer to make each distort a seperate gif file and then animate them using Unfreeze - another free program
