Look good astevn816... If you don't want it to have the blue background, just delete the blue bottom layer.

That was quick and easy. Nice. I deleted the bottom 5 layers and filled the resulting bottom one with black.

First of all I want to thank you all for the valuable knowledge you have shared. I have laerned so much. Also those exeptionally talented script writers have given me and others relly funny and useful short cuts to do things easier. Thank you!

Today I tried to make animation of a photo. Photo was taken 15.11.2014 so they were late to move, but there was a chick among the ten swans.

Now I wonder wether it is possible somehow get those bites smaller to make the animation smoother? I've tried several changes in settings but haven't got it.

Phuuh! I'm sorry. I've done something wrong in that. I'll try again.

I was unable to delete bottom layer, I got a message that it needed two layers. I unchecked the background eye image and this is how it turned out.

sometimes the animation starts at the first letter and sometimes it starts a few letters in, is that a font issue or something else

I find that too. The script only works the way it wants, when it wants.
There are other ways to make animations like that with the many tutorials we have here. Check out ccbarrs tutorials, easy to follow and great explanations as you go.

Try adding a blank top (first) layer.

If you are referring to how your animation plays in the forums, where it starts is dependent upon the timing of the image downloading and the webpage being rendered on your display. It is not uncommon for the GIF image to download and the animation start before your browser finishes rendering the page.

Try adding a couple seconds of delay to the first frame (bottom layer).

Rashid - nice anim; hopefully (given my location) it is mostly Pakistan wickets that will fall, but our batting is a bit thin right now :)

Throughout my life I have seen Pakistani Bating line facing disastors outside India, Pakistan and new Pakistan-like UAE. Strangely this year Pakistan was able to show some performance in England but hey failed in the First Match against KIWIS. We miss Waseem Akram and Waqar Younus and Imran Khan. I wish them come home with flying colours.

So far animation is concerned I have seen many tricks for animation. I can put drop shadow to the ball and flying bails etc. It was an experiment which is successful.

GIMP 2.8.20 Windows 10 64-bit

Hi, I'm having trouble getting the desired result for the "Burn-in" feature... have tried but not sure why it doesn't turn out like the ones at the start of this thread.

Mine looks like this: (Tried uploading a gif, but got error msg) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tD2uQXGZMm0 (I looped it a few times..)..

It's like a vertical bar is scanning the canvas to reveal the text, not the intended result at all.. maybe I didn't understand the process?

Any help appreciated, cheers :)

Here is a tutorial to follow for the Burn in script. It is really straight forward with a lot of screen shots.

Thanks Pat that really helped, now I can't even remember what I was doing wrong! It doesn't matter though as now it's like the easiest thing in the world. :)
Much obliged!
