Making a GB Badge "Slideshow"?

Alex if you read this.  I just added a few more GB Badges to my gif.  WHen I download it to photobucket the new frames do not have the same duration as the old ones.  I have even increased the amount of time on the animator and it still flies through the new frames very quickly.  Any ideas?

Thanks John

John,

After a lot of trial and error I got it.

Thanks

Thanks John,

In the office today. I'll give it a try this evening and let you know the results.

John,

Please enlighten me. I down loaded the MS GIF Animator. However I've been unable to drag and drop or copy JPEG picture files into the GIF software.

I did try copying the files to a multimedia file and then into the GIF software but received an error message stating the file was corrupt(makes sense since I live in IL) or invalid.

What I'm I doing wrong?

Thanks

Tom

Hi Chris, What you need to do is save a series of images into one .GIF file using some sort of program. IMHO, this program is the easiest way to do it, and its not crammed with malware. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_GIF_Animator Once you've got a .gif created, upload it to a photo host, such as photobucket or flickr, and link to it in your signature as an image. HTH! Let me know if you need more help! Cheers, Alex

John, it looks great!  Glad to see you figured it out.  Sorry I wasn't around last night to give you a hand.  Have a great Thanksgiving!

Cheers,

Hi John,

Here is the help file from GIF Animator.

Welcome to the Microsoft GIF Animator. With this tool you can use any .GIF file, or any image you can copy to the Clipboard as part of an animation. You can create or modify an animation then save it for use in your web browser or other applications. You can add as many images to an animation as your computer memory allows.  The GIF Animator contains a toolbar, an animation (frames) display column, a scroll bar, and three tabs; the Options tab when you open GIF Animator, and also the Animation, and Image tabs once you open a file.  · The Options tab controls the way GIF Animator manages your files. · The Animation tab controls characteristics of your animation. · The Image tab controls characteristics of individual frames in your animation. You can add images to the animation display column by using drag and drop, by pasting an image from the Clipboard into a frame, or by opening an existing .GIF file from within GIF Animator. Set the Import Color Palette options in the Options tab before you add images to your animation. Use the scrollbar to view all the images in the current animation. Images are inserted before the current selected frame. Note   The GIF Animator is supported by Microsoft Support Services through support for purchasers of Microsoft Image Composer.  The display and other functionality of GIF Animator files is dependent on the functionality of the browser you use to view the files. Large files increase download times and might also display interrupted sequencing on computers with low memory.

This should answer your questions.  If you need more help, just let me know.  

Cheers,
Alex

Hey Johnny,

Save your badges to your computer, then open GiF Animator, and load the images.  You can pick what type of transitions to put between badges. Let me know if you need more help.

Cheers,
Alex
