Hi! Would you be able to put what it is you're requesting in the title of your threads? It just makes it a lot more user friendly

Re: Request

I think she means any string of pics from the same video/ocassion/etc that would make a decent animation?

Problem...I use UnFreeze and I saved the pics as gif images but it won't let me make the gif. Can anyone help me?

First off, UnFreeze is a terrible program to make gifs from. For one thing, it doesn't compress the images at all, and as a result, the filesizes are HUGE (meaning, the filesize of one gif will be equal to all the filesizes of all the original images, combined). I would suggest you use a better program, there are a number of them out there, but unfortunately, few are free.

Secondly, gifmaking is a complicated process, and it's best to follow a tutorial, so you know what you're doing.

You can find my gifmaking tutorial here:

Is Virtual Dub free though? Where can I download it if it is?

The post I linked to clearly says that it's free, and includes a link to the VirtualDub website:

For AVI and MPEG files, a free program called VirtualDub does the trick.

Simply follow the "downloads" link on the sidebar to download it.

How do you get the video into the program though?

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

I linked to a VirtualDub tutorial as well. This shouldn't be so difficult. Just click File, then click Open, and point to the video file on your computer.

OK one more stupid question. I know I have videos in my favorites but everytime I try to open, there's an error message. I know I'm not very computer friendly but I am so confused.

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

I'm sorry, I can't help you there.

 

[Galeongirl]

what is the error message? What is the format of the video file? what program are you trying to open it with?

in case it's wmv, virtualdub won't work with them 'cause microsoft sued them, you'll need a different format

 

[Bonogirl777]

It's a url, the error message says it can't detect the file type .url. I have Windows XP.

 

[Galeongirl]

url that's not a movie file... sounds like an internet link but that's usually html

 

[Bonogirl777]

Well........they are internet links. Does that mean that I can't use stuff from the internet and only DVDs?

 

[Galeongirl]

er, ofcourse you can't make a movie out of an internet link! you need a movie file!

In the tutorial of gifmaking, it says to go to the configuration thing and click on the capture tab in PowerDVD. I don't see it.
