Any way to convert a .xcf file to a video or animation that shows all the things you did to the image from beginning to end. I want to show a friend how I drew this picture, but I'm already done and only have the .xcf of the completed drawing.
How do I make a video or animation of me drawing with gimp? basically I want a video of me drawing. I would just videotape me doing it but that wouldn't be good enough quality. basically I want a video of what I see on the screen while I am drawing.
I would like to try creating an animation like this ([URL] - originally made through Apple Keynote Animation).
a) Inform if Gimp is able to give me tools to create similar still drawings/images? Could other software as Inkscape be better to this kind of drawing ? (I am not familiarized with both yet).
b) If yes, any tutorial that approaches more directly this style of drawings/images?
c) From sequence of still images created in Gimp I intend to use video editing software (Sony Vegas) to animate them. Actually I don’t know whether it is the best way to animate the images.
I have a long and complicated road trip timelapse photo set I'm converting to an animation. That i've managed to sort out. However I also have some panoramas that i took here and there. I'm trying to take these panoramas (about 11 of them) into their component images,but with an overlap so that they will be in the animation appearing as a pan.
So I have about a dozen of these fairly wide images (2096 x 544 for one of them), and each of these i want to split into about ten images with a reasonable "overlap".
Given the amount of potential images, and my desire to have a smooth pan, making composite images manually wouldn't really work.
I've been using ifranview to bulk crop and resize images but i couldn't work out a way to do this so I switched to GIMP, which I'm not great with.
I've grabbed the guidelines every x pixels script and guillotine into layers plugin, hoping I could guillotine across multiple guideline "units" but all it's given me is dozens of vertical slices of the image.
I could merge and duplicate them but that would take ages.
At the moment I'm thinking my best option is to put the guidelines on and use selections to snap to guidelines and paste as seperate layers, then save all the layers as seperate files. However that still seems very slow and clunky and i'm wondering if there's a better way.
I have Photoshop Elements 12 and I was wondering how I can convert a video file into a gif. I tried googling it and I got confused. Google told me to go to file>>import>>frame from video but under my import menu there was no "frame from video" link. The only link there is called "WIA Support".
I am using Premier Pro CS5.5. I want to know if I can import a .mts file and use Premier to convert it, or save the file as, a .mov, .wmv, .mp4 or other video file format?
In the timeline panel in CS6 EXTENDED, you have a video feature, where you can animate three things:
Position Style Opacity
What I would like to know, is: How can I animate rotation of a layer? I want to rotate my layer at an angle and animate it. But when I rotate, the first animation frame is also rotated, resulting in NO animation between the frames.
is there any way to convert Photoshop brushes into Gimp brushes?? I downloaded some brushes that the person who posted them says they are Photoshop brushes (.abr file) in his description.
I have rigged a character and made it into a character set in which i have locked the scaling attribute , I have then saved this file. I have then referenced this file and and have done a walk cycle animation and saved this file. I have then realised that I needed the scaling attribute when I have added other parts of my scene. Is there a way to unlock the scaling attribute in my walk cycle animation file or will i have to go back and change it in the rigged file, create a new character set and do the walk cycle animation again?
I recently purchased Video Studio Pro X3 - and after going through the knowledge base and product read me, I have been unable to find an answer to the following problem I have:
PROBLEM:
I have a number of videos (HD 1080p) that I have recorded. Each video is on average 50 minutes in length - what I want to do it to be able to do is to slice this video into 10 x 5 minute videos (based on topics discussed in the video), (so essentially clip the video into these segments and edit each one) and then when producing the video file - actually create 10 separate video files (all with editing in place) instead of one single large file.
As far as I have been able to work out, I need to go through the whole file, clip relevant sections, edit them, and then save project. I then need to go trim the saved file 10 times, to extract each time the single 5 minute video I want to create. This is a fairly manual and time consuming process, hence my hope that I can create 10 files based on the clips I have made in the larger 50 minute file in one go.
as I have 30 videos to edit, so looking for ways to save time!
I've a problem with rendering an animated video. The animation takes 1800 frames (1:00 min), but after clean-up, the maximum file-size is 1.0 Gb. Depending on the resolution I rendered in, it results in a 11 second video.
I'm wondering how to convert a scene from 30 fps to 24 fps. It's a tracked scene, the tracking comes from PFtrack. When I convert it, the tracking is off.
Cos 3DS is 64bit and Quicktime doesnt support 64bit, generating previews (for me)is now annoying. My current workflow is to generate a preview in avi then convert to mov to use in Aftereffect (AE doesn't like avi---very slow!).
Is there anyway to convert the video to 4:3. When I save it 4:3 file it doesn't cut it down. It makes the video look back. Can I cut the outside edges to make the video 4:3?
I have a video that I need to set in the background of my animation but it needs to be turned 90 degrees. Right now its is side ways. Is there a way to do that within max 20111? I currently have in my environment map and Effect menu common parameter tab my movie. I then have an instance of it in my materials area. Within materials area I can change my W: Angle to rotate that diffuse map where my video is listed and it rotates with materials menue but just not in my animation background. Can I rotate the video that is in the background of my animation?
Convert To Timeline Animation Button doesnt appear and its driving me crazy.in the animation window its in frame animation mode and this button im talking about doesnt appear!.
I am trying to export a video of a simple animation but I can't select Quicktime export I can only do image sequence, how do I activate the Qick time export button to get other options? Clicking on it doesn't work. My Doc size is 500 x500 Just a heart progressing across the screen and bouncing on ground.
I've just downloaded the Photoshop CC trial version and I'd like to make an animation. To animate you need to create a new blank video layer (Layers>video layer>new blank video layer)
I can't do that, since there is no video layer menu (not even greyed out). It was in the PS CS6 extended version, did they remove it in CC? What should I do?
Whenever I try to upload a video clip, it only shows in timeline format and when I try to convert it to frame animation, it says "The video will not play back in frame animation."
my 'Convert To Video Timeline' Option has gone missing from my Photoshop. I'm using Photoshop CS6 Extended Version.I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it numerous times.I have tried running it in 32-bit as well as 64-bit.The option isn't in the Panel Fly-Out menu either.I have also noticed that I can no longer open videos in Photoshop.I have tried resetting my Preferences, as well.
I'm currently using CS6 to make Gifs with Frame Animation using the Video Frames to Layers. I want to convert my Frame Animation to Video Timeline but it won't let me do it. Can I do it with CS6 or do I need CS6 extended?
I would like to convert my recorded mp4 videofiles with Corel Videostudio X3 to for example a DVD. The mp4 file is from a Sony DSC-H5 photocamera. It is HD quality not 1920 but i believe 1440 or something like that. What are the best settings to convert the mp4 to DVD without losing quality?
I have a large number of VHS and hi8 tapes that I want to convert to high quality DV.
I have a couple of options. One is an Elgado Video capture system.
The other is a Sony Digital Media Converter Box (DVMC-DA2).
I have tried a few of the less important tapes using the Elgado Video Capture system. It only allows you to convert to MPEG4 or H.268. It is not very good quality, especially for archival items or items I would later wish to edit.
I also have the Sony Digital Media Converter Box. I have heard that this is a superior option. So far, though, I have only been able to figure out how to import using an old version of iMovie HD. This makes a large imovie project file (approximately 6.18GB for a 28:30 clip vs a 348.9MB for an MPEG4 using delgado.
On top of that to convert the file from an iMovieProject file to DV is an additional step that so far looks like will take a half an hour at best.
Is there any way for me to import VHS/hi8 tapes using the Digital Media Converter Box to creat high quality DV files directly? If so, where can I find this info? What steps should I take and what are the settings I should use.
I have a lot of tapes so I want to figure out the right and most efficient way to do this because I will be repeating it a bunch of times and would hate to have to start over again.
I should also mention that I am using a Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, with OSX 10.9.1
For some reason I cannot choose between Video Timeline & Frame Animation in the Timeline window. I do not know why, I've looked in the Timeline panel options, still nothing.
I have a Nikon D3100 camera and I am trying to use it to make stop animation movies. When I plug it in via USB I can import videos/photos to my computer, etc...so it is recognized. However, when I try to use it in VideoStudio X4 the only option I get is a webcam. Are there any special drivers I need to make this work? I have searched google a bit, but maybe I am missing something. I am using the trial version of the program to try and get things worked out before I actually purchase it. The software looks wonderful for stop animation so I really want to make this work.
I've been using Illustrator to draw up some 2D cartoons and then learning how to animate them and incorporate them into music videos. Small stuff like cute flying birds, suns, flowers, small characters, etc.
I have tons of Q's so maybe it's best to ask this question first ... are their good tutorials online regarding this subject (creating, drawing, animating cartoons to use as stand alone cartoons and also to embed over live footage)? I'm aware of Lynda.com but wasn't sure if they have this sort of tutorial.
If I've illustrated and animated a character (flower, or bird, or cartoon person dancing) ... what's the best way to incorporate that into my live clip? Let's say i have a girl singing and want the bird to fly across the screen, or onto her shoulder. Would I do this in After Effects? Or would I export from After Effects and then do the overlaying in Final Cut Pro (which I'm using to edit my videos)?
I exported a 10 second cartoon I made of flowers lip syncing to the audio track that I'm doing the video for and when I rendered, the background was white. I wasn't sure how to composite that onto my FCP video and so here I am....
