Actually it did, it said you may still be able to upload directly from VirtualDub. Either way, now I've included that you can use GIMP.

Updating the guide right now to include Photoshop CS3 extended method.

I've made this one if you feel like using it :

Hehehe... Bazookas...

Though if you go in a dry environment, your contact lenses dry up quicker and you have to blink alot faster, which gets annoying sometimes

Just get contact lenses, like me. :P

You can download it from http://www.hyperionics.com/

Nah, sometimes you can't upload to Photobucket, this may be because the fie size is too big.

Lol, I forgot CS3 Extended can do video... But not many people have CS3 extended, heh. [hide=Here is how you get videos to frames in CS3] [/hide]

And to think we spent hours trying everything to see how we could make animated GIFs, then you two show up with some easy solutions, lol :XD:

Photobucket has a limit of 1mb, and Imageshack a limit of 1.5mb. GIF images are only 256 colours, so you'll find that the animations are only a few hundred kb :

Photoshop Elements 2.0 is on eBay for around $20. Very cheap.

Ever wanted to make something like this? Or perhaps this? ...But don't know how to? This guide will show you how to make animated GIFs very easily, and with no hassle! Let's begin... To first make these animations easily, you'll need to convert AVI(Audio-Visual Interlace) to GIF(Graphical Interchange Format). To Get an AVI, you'll need something to record it off the screen with, so you will need some recording software. What you will need: - Screen recording software: Camtasia or Hypercam - Photoshop CS3 Extended, GIMP or VirtualDub ^^Clicking the links will take you to the product's site. Now let's get started! Open up Hypercam(Or Camtasia) and select the part you want to record.I suggest a little extra, so you can crop it later. Then record, obviously. Remember to record a little extra at the beginning and at the end. The VirtualDub Method is RECOMMENDED. [hide=VirtualDub Method] Step 1: Open VirtualDub. Step 2: In VirtualDub, go to File > Open Video File and choose the video you just recorded(By default on Hypercam it is clip) Yes, I'm hiding all my other files from you >:] Step 3: To crop, go to Video > Filters > Add Now, you can choose any filter as long as you don't change it. Personally, I always use the Brightness/Contrast filter. Click OK, then click OK ok the small dialogue box that comes up. Then, in that screen, click Cropping... Crop to whatever size you desire, and clip the video file using the black "arrow" keys. -> Cropping... Step 4: Press, OK. We're almost done! Step 5: Now, to make it a GIF, go to File > Export > Animated GIF... And you will be prompted by this box: Step 6: Rename if you wish, select the Loop setting to Infinite loop(recommended) and click OK. Optional, but recommended: Now, just open Photoshop Elements OR GIMP, no need to edit the pictures, and File > Save For Web...(Photoshop) Then click GIF, turn animation on, resize if you wish, choose your settings and save. You can now upload it to Photobucket etc! (Note: If you're lucky, you might be able to upload the VirtualDub generated GIF, but most of the time this doesn't work.) [/hide] [hide=Photoshop CS3 Extended Method] This method is quite expensive, as Photoshop CS3 is expensive. Honestly, I would go with the VirtualDub method, but for you people who feel like showing off, here's the CS3 method : Step 1: Open Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended(duh) Step 2: Go to File > Import > Video Frames to Layers... And open your recorded video. NOTE: You can only have a max of 500 frames. If your video is more than 500 frames, be sure to click the "Limit to every _ frames" option OR open the video file as a smart object. Step 3: To cut out some frames, click a layer, scroll up or down to the layer you want to start/stop the animation at, then, while holding down your shift key, click that layer and delete them: Step 4: To crop, simply use the crop tool. Step 5: Now, go to File > Save For Web and Devices and save as a GIF. Use your own desired settings and save. [/hide] [hide=There is no GIMP Method As I Do Not Own GIMP] Why'd you click here, neeb? I said there's no GIMP method. :lol: [/hide] The guide will still be updated a bit.

I'll make a guide on Player Made Guides :

94 agility! :D

You're too slow? Mate, I've been training since March LOL!

Aye, behold! I, Latios the inferior, shall get 99 agility late this January or early February! I get maybe... 320k exp a day if I'm not too lazy. At that rate, it's 8 WORKING days to 99 agility. [hide=Clicky here for some level up piccies] 80 agility 81 agility 82 agility 83 agility 84 agility 85 agility 86 agility 87 agility 88 agility I then downgraded to Vista... 89 agility 90 agility 91 agility 92 agility 93 agility 94 agility 95 agility 96 agility 97 agility 98 agility [/hide] Aside from agility, I've been making some RuneScape GIFs. \ [hide=Clicky to see my Glorious GIFs] Pharaoh Sceptre Teleport^^ Snow throw :) ^^ [/hide] NOTE: This blog ain't finished yet! Still making it. *opens Photoshop and makes a banner*

Admin Edit: This thread became outdated and incredibly large, so onward with Project Offtopic! Old posts have been archived and now we're starting from January, 2008 ~Turtlefemm I seem to have become the author of this thread, and I realise my previous message here isn't really much of an intro to this kind of topic. So... This is a place to come to fellow TIFers and ask for our knowledge and advice on this - we are the love gurus! So yeah, the gurus are in session. <3: <3: <3: feel the luurve <3: <3: <3:

Going without sleep isn't such a big deal... -.- Max for me I think is 4 days without sleep.(But then I slept for a day and a half after that :lol:)

My new years resolution is to... Get a life. :-s

But think about it... You can get any clone... Dum dee dum dum doo *whistles innocently* :lol:

Door B, shoot the lock and escape. Unfortunately, this would not work in real life... So I would actually go for door A(when I get out, I'll only be 34 years old. No biggie). Besides, if I wanted to kill myself I could just starve myself, or knock my head against the wall extremely hard, and very quickly so that they don't have time to interrupt me :

I'm on it now but there's hardly anyone on, heh.

Added a 1680x1050 pic with more blood. Note that if used as a desktop, the 1680x1050 was intended for Windows Vista, and use on other OS's will make the pic look slightly unbalanced. Also updated the 1280x800 Desktop Background.

AFK training? That's... Illegal...
