GIF... Hope it works.
« on: February 20, 2009, 07:29:55 pm »


DANGIT! It won't work right! First off, it doesn't loop for some reason, second, it is slow, and third, I cannot get the background transparent. Can someone help me?

Does anyone have the knowledge to fix this for me? I cannot seem to get any of it to work. It is too slow, the background won't go transparent, and it won't loop!

What program are you using to assemble your GIF?

That is pretty lame for an avatar...

Anyway I done what you wanted, and i removed a shitload of frames because there were a whole lot of duplicates and useless stuff at the end. Whoever made that done a shit job of assembling it...

what the fuck is that? really... Also, you should be ridding out of GIF format and change to APNG format, it has way more quality.

He's not using any alpha so APNG is a waste of bandwidth.

Seriously, stop pretending the APNG bandwagon is some kind of silver bullet.

This was my first attempt at lip synching a GIF. Sooo yeah. Thanks for the nice thoughts on it. Chutem, you made it look choppy and worse. I just wanted it sped up and the transparency lost and still have it looped.

I only removed frames from the end, so you are imagining things or your computer sucks and it can't play GIF's fast enough.

Done, with two frame rates.

It still is lame tho

I dont like that animation, it is stupid I think, and it really needs shading or effects with alpha

What's this APNG stuff? Someone sell me on it.
Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I'd gladly do it because
I don't want to fade away.

APNG = Animated PNG. I don't believe it's an 'official' format, but most new browsers support it.

Apparently the PNG devs rejected it in favor of their own MNG. Any idea why?

I only know that this quality can't be supported by GIF.

Oh dang that's sexy.
The loop could be improved though.

APNG is like uncompressed video; since it pretty much just puts full palette PNGs in sequence the file sizes can easily become ridiculous when compared to the image dimensions.

Espadon is right, there are situations when APNG is very useful. This, is not one of those times when animation with a 24 bit alpha channel is needed.

This is just a test animation of my new mini-games collection. Involving me and my friends. That one is me.
These are based on my comics.
