How To Make GIFs Easily​

​

To start the guide, you first need 2 things.

1) 2 Paint windows opened
2) GIF Movie Gear - Download here- http://www.gamani.com/

Now your ready to make a GIF!

Step 1:
Open the internet and find some spites you like. I suggest you find them here- http://www.spriters-resource.com/community/news.php
Once you find them, right click and copy them.



Step 2:
Paste the sprites into Paint, then select a set of sprites that you want to animate. Then highlight them and copy paste them into a second Paint window.



Step 3:
Zoom in on the sprites to get a clearer view. I changed the colour around the sprites from light blue to the colour of Sythes site, this makes it transparent on the background.



Step 4:
Highlight fairly close to the first sprite then copy it.



Step 5:
Paste it into the older paint window (the one with the big sheet of sprites) Then center it. If your image doesn't look similar to mine, click the button that I highlighted in the screenshot- it will fix the problem.



Step 6:
Once its centered, right click>Select All>Copy



Step 7:Open GIF Movie Gear. Right click on the main grey area and paste. The image should appear.



Step 8:
Now, go back to paint and highlight the second motion of your sprite, then copy it.



Step 9:
Into the second paint window were your previous motion was, paste the second motion in, it should look like this.



Step 10:
Move the sprite over the previous one- try and get it exactly over. It may be hard but it will make the animation look better. When its over the previous sprite, Select All> Copy.



Step 11:
Paste the second movement into GIF Movie Gear.



Step 12:
Repeat the steps for all the different sprite movements until you have pasted everyone into GIF Movie Gear. Once your done you should have something that looks like this.




Now that your done, click Play. If its too quick, increase the time delay, and if its too slow decrease the delay. If your happy with it, save it.
