Making+GIFs

=How to make GIFs!=

They're fun! They're GIFs! And after spending a couple sleepless nights animating 5+ socks, I think it's safe for me to say that you should try it out too. (If you're bored and wants to be amused.)

- A set of images that you want to animate
 * Ingredient**

For this tutorial, I'll show you how I made this rock and rollin' socks!

(Don't stare at it too much)

Alright so first you want to make all your images frame by frame. E.g.,:



The format of the file name is important. Make sure you name them in sequence, i.e., sock1.jpg, sock2.jpg ... etc. This will make more sense later on!

Open Adobe Flash, **File > New > ActionScript 3.0** (the first one)

On the left hand side, you'll see this: Change the size dimensions so it is the same as the size of your images.

Then go to File > Import > Import to and find where your image files are located.



!!! You only need to import the FIRST image of your series of images. BECAAAUUSE:



Click yes and Flash will automatically load all your images into individual frames for you!

You can change the fps (on the left hand side, on top of the size dimensions) to make the gif faster or slower.

Once you're done, go to **File > Export > Export Movie** and save it as a .GIF ... and you're done. Voila!!
