Animated Sigs- Transitions

wiire · 09-06-2007, 05:30 PM

Hello, I am working on a sig for a friend and I am planning on making a full sig for each of his toons (4 or 5) and then having the sig rotate through them. I think it will be boring to just have them switch from image to image, so I want to add some kind of transition animation between images.

I use Ulead gif animator, but I think I may download the microsoft one and see if it has some extra features.

I am curious if anyone can give me tips on what kind of transitions to use (and if there is a program that does this-or if I have to make it frame by frame)

In my sig, I just made a bunch of copies of my original sig and on each frame I dimmed the layer with fonts. It was tedious and its just a fade out affect.

I think that may be a bit boring for my friends sig.. was thinking of going into powerpoint and reminding myself what slide transitions they have heh. Or are there any sites out there with tips? Can anyone link sigs they have made with "sig transitions" please? TY =)

I know Sapphy's going to be helping you. So let's see if she'll read this beforehand:** SAPPHY! ** Make Auroz say she'll show us the sig when she's done with you if you help her. SMILEY

Hmmm, I see the gif info here http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...topic_id=380904

I think I will try to make a simple gif flashing between sigs (I dont want to do the whole- you need to refresh to see a diff sig thing because I know he wants people to see all his toons at once) I will see how bad the quality turns out, and if its bad I will see what else I can think of.

And yeayea, I'll post it. SMILEY

Auroz, I'll get you the codings for this if you can tell me what program you're using to animate: Image Ready, Flash, something else?
