Hi all!

As per say, I can maked animated Gif Sigs of a video of your choosing!

However, I'm still learning how to add visible text to it to make it More Viable and better

Example:

My own sig, of course!

From this:



To This:


More Examples of gifs I have made:





(These other two above could have been in better quality, expect a change sometime)

If you want a animated gif from a video, don't hesitate to ask!

[Night Thastus]

Oooooh! I know what one I want!

It's from one of the All Systems Nominal videos, I think the first or second one, where the atlas fist-bumps the commando!

Lemme find the link.



It's around 29 seconds in.

From like 1:05 to about 1:16 or 1:17 whenever the CDA flaps its wings.

Would be awesome! Thanks in advance!

If you'd like a specific part of the gif ill adjust it.

From this:

I liked the music in that one originally

what program are you using to make the signature?

[Scout Derek]

Done!

I usually use my Photoshop to make the Gif but sometimes I use an online gif maker from here:

I use cooltext.com to make things easier on myself
They have some animated text that come out in a gif
Then I cut away the white around the text, layer per layer


Otherwise I use another text effect (think of a font that's hollow for instance) and put a video or gif behind it (could be fire or lighting, ... )
Click on the layer that the text is and cut away the outside of the text layer by layer
Thus you're left with a text that has an animation in the background running and has no background; can be put easily enough in a sig
Don't forget to make the signature a transparent gif, background color is these forums; I think something #161616 or such (I just searched here in the forums what color PGI uses exactly as background)
Could be a symbol or shield as well

If you want to animate the text itself then you can try using individual letters (png's from cooltext for instance) and try to work with them as individual layers and animate them
Though that's a lot of clicking, and photoshop isn't meant to artistically animate stuff
Adobe created other programs for the more elaborate things

[Peter2k]

using cooltext molten core effect
changing its colors and font I ended up with something like this for instance


you would have to cut away the white inside and outside the letters frame per frame (only 6 I believe anyway) and the thing ends up with a transparent background

here is a shield frame, the same shield behind it with transparency at 50%, a "symbol" inside and a gif that I put in the back

then cut away everything outside the shield

Thanks! Now how the heck do I use it?

[Henric Pryde]

Hello,

I was looking for an image for an avatar and saw your post. I was wondering if you could create a an animated sig with a Hellbringer, with appropriate Clan Blood Spirit symbology and perhaps set to music. Say to "War Ensemble" by Slayer?

Peter2Ks sig is awesome, something of that nature would be very nice indeed.

you upload pictures n gifs to something like photobucket or imgur to use them in forums

however, it already is
right click on it -> copy image URL

go to your "Profil" on the top
Forum Profile
Edit my Profile

Signature on the left

click on the picture symbol (like a tree in a picture) and enter the URL Adress you just copied, n save

you can also write something beneath

Hi Scout Derek

Love your work.

If you could make my below sig dynamic like Peter 2 K I will name one of my Atlai after you.

Sure! I'll get to working on them both

[Scout Derek]

Dar1ing One, which type of font did you use to type in the text in your sig?

[Scout Derek]

Dar1ing and Nekhron, it's going to take me some time as they are more specific than usual. But I can assure you, I'll have them done for you

[Scout Derek]

Incoming Gif upgrades soon with better quality! (Still working on Da1ing's and Nehkron's)

[Kristian Radoulov]

How nice of you Scout!
