Thank you! I added the fade in/out effect because I don't like it when gifs begin or end too abruptly. I like a smooth transition.
Haha. I actually saved that gif from you before. I did want to gif that scene, but I decided to wait for the dvd to come out so I can have the hi-res version with no logo. :)
I'll probably do a few more from season 1 over the weekend. :)
!!! the watermark thing was just bugging me last night too! I've already made quite a few gifs from S2...but my inner OCPD might just demand that I remake watermark-less versions when I get the DVD. ohn0es :(
the software I'm using doesn't have an auto-fade function (I'm assuming that yours does?) so I do mine manually...and I'm too lazy to make it look nicer, lol.
I bought and downloaded a program called Wondershare Pro that lets me rip the video from the dvd and convert it to whatever file format I want. Then I open it in iMove HD, which is bundled software on my Mac. That's where I add the transition effect at the beginning and end of the video and do more editing to the frames.
Then, I open the file in Adobe ImageReady. There, I can adjust the timing of each individual frame, so I put a few seconds of delay on the first and last frame.
ooh I see. all the software I'm using is free - VirtualDub for caps, PhotoScape for the animation and DVDVideoSoft for misc functions. way better than the play-pause-cap-repeat method I was using before, ugh.
anyway, I can't wait for the manifesto and the gifs! :D
I watched a tutorial on youtube where I guy used VirtualDub. I didn't find a version for mac, and, since I planned on getting significant use out of a program, I decided to go ahead and buy it. Plus, I already had Adobe CS2, being a graphic designer. I knew the basic concept of making gifs, but had never tried it before until now.
how could you not gif them in SUPERCLOSEPROXIMITY? :P

(and yes, making gifs is so addictive!)
