toast647 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 This guide is on how to make animated .gifs easily with Camtasia Studio. You can download a trial version here for FREE. You need to have a recording program to do this, like hypercam, or camtasia. 30 day trial: http://www.techsmith.com/download/camtasiatrial.asp Hypercam http://www.hyperionics.com/hc/downloads.asp Table of Contents. I. Adding a clip to the timeline II. Shortening a clip III. Zooming in on a clip IV. Speeding up or slowing a clip down (Optional) V. Producing your .gif I. Adding a clip to the timeline Open Camtasia Studio, and click Import Media on the left. Or by clicking File then Import Media. Find where you saved the clip and open it. Drag the clip onto the timeline. A box should appear, choose Custom II. Shortening a clip Sometimes your clip will be longer than you want it to be. Just go to where you want it to start on the timeline and press S. Now right click the part you dont want and click delete. III. Zooming in on a clip On the left side click Zoom-n-Pan. Scroll down to the bottom and uncheck the box that says Maintain Aspect Ratio (This allows you to adjust the image to the size you want it). When you are finished, scroll up to the top and click Finished. *Important* If you changed the size of the image, remember the two numbers width and height for later. IV. Speeding up or slowing a clip down (Optional) Right click the clip, and click Clip Speed. A box will pop up, you can change it from regular speed to slower or faster. Just change the 100 to 50 (Half speed) or 200 (2x Faster), for example. Typically you shouldnt add effects to .gifs, its only one clip. It doesnt have to be edited like a serious video. V. Producing your .gif On the left side, click Produce Video as. Choose Custom Production settings and click next. It then asks you how you would like to produce your video, at the bottom choose GIF animation file. You can change the frame rate, it makes it higher or lower quality. (15 is low, 30 is high). Next, add the two numbers you needed to remember from step III. For the next two windows, just press next. On the third one, choose where you would like to save it. Allow it to render, and then upload it to any of these sites. www.tinypic.com www.imageshack.us www.photobucket.com Finished product [hide=Some .gif's I've made] [/hide] Come to #tip-it on Swift IRC, if you're cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
