Help? :)

Does anybody know how to create animated images (icons) out of videos? Like, if you have a short video, and you want to capture a few seconds in it and make it into an icon... I have Photoshop if that helps

I think THIS might help. But you need to download BSPlayer or some other to capture pictures you want to animate. The link to download is in that entry.

It's a link to sleeping kitties. :o

Completely off topic and unhelpful, but your icon? Is scaring the CRAP out of me...

(and I'm the most technically challenged person I know, so I've no idea, sorry, but I'm sure there's some help comm for icon makers out there? :D )

It's supposed to be scary. :P

What I do is play the video in something that allows screencaps, such as Quicktime. I pause the video, take a screen capture

Thanks! I'll try this out. I'll let you know if I have any problems. :P

LOL at the icon. Is that an example? :D

Hee, yes those buns are capped from one of my favorite movies: Orgazmo.

This one's Dean from TV's Supernatural, done the same way. Cap, Paste, Cap, Paste, Cap, Paste ... Save Optimized As... (*insert hot as balls file name here*)

I'll try to capture a few frames tonight. I just hope one of the other programmes I have will work. I don't have Quicktime (it's too intrusive), but hopefully BSPLayer will work. :)

Dude, either way your icon for this post is scary as all fuckin' get out.

Hahaha, yea, I know! That's why I got it. :D
