Description This was such a pain in the butt to make.

I had to upload all 93 pictures into photoshop.
Then I had to record a macro that pasted them all into a new layer on the same document.
Then I had to take all the layers and retouch them, and then I added it all to a frame by frame .gif animation timeline.

THAT WASN"T EVEN THE HARDEST PART!

Then, as soon as I think "OH I"M DONE!" yay. Photoshop gives me a "not enough memory to save" error.

Photoshop couldn't create the .gif because there wasn't enough system memory.

So then I had to do a bunch of stuff to my Photoshop preferences to change memory usage and stuff.
Eventually, i got it.

P.S. DRIVE-BY's are bad!

Ahahaha Shane Shane Shane shaneybear. Did I comment on this already? I have no idea. Plus I'm too lazy to scroll through all of them considering my itouch only shows 2 at a time! Anyways that's besides the point. My point is that I haven't touched base with you in a couple weeks or so and I'm reaching out to you via my similarly neglected dA account so tell me, how was soulfest? The rest of your summer?

XD That's so freaking amazing. I want more animations. It sounds like that would be a complex process for doing this, but it's pretty awesome as it's all put together.

ruabat In reply to SanguineEpitaph [2011-05-11 20:31:21 +0000 UTC]

I feel like there is, or should be, an easier way to do this.
I just wanted to line up a bunch of pictures and make a .gif
It shouldn't be so hard!
But thank you I'm glad you like it.
P.S. Thanks for the

You're welcome!

Well, we did a project in 10th grade that animated things like that, but instead of doing it in Photoshop, we had a program that compiled our video for us. Would that classify as easier? xD

Perhaps there are alternatives similar to it? Your method seemed to make something pretty cool.

I found a website called Picasion that does it pretty efficiently.
But I think I'll stick with Photoshop and just do smaller projects.
Or maybe make 2 separate .gifs and combine them Is that possible?! *googles*...

SanguineEpitaph In reply to ruabat [2011-05-14 23:24:51 +0000 UTC]

I think that two separate gifs would work as long as they match up in the animation, so that one picks up where the other left off.

ruabat In reply to SanguineEpitaph [2011-05-14 23:41:36 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, but how would I combine them as one? (technology-wise)

SanguineEpitaph In reply to ruabat [2011-05-14 23:42:48 +0000 UTC]

Good point.

You could use Flash to align them at the right time and save them as a new .gif.
