Hi guys. I was wondering if someone could tell me how to merge banners and animated avatars like the way Damon, Nath and Nicky do it. Any help will be realllllllly appreciated and +K will be awarded
Also, is it possible to easily change the shape of the avatars? Oh yeah, I have Photoshop CS3 extented witch I think is pretty important to mention, because I don't get ImageReady with it. |

I was about to mention ImageReady, maybe this tutorial will help, it shows how to use video layers and the timeline maybe you'kk understand it more than I did;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZ7m9BY1cq8 With the avatar question I guess you just work on a transparent canvas? Unless you mean animated ones? I thing you'll need to put underneath another layer and then erase or select and cut the shape you want to be visible. |

It took me ages to figure it out, but basically I get each frame of the avatar, and shape them all in one go, then I merge each frame with a copy of the banner, then go to Save for web > GIF > Animate > Save.
But sometimes it dosn't let me do it that way, so I then save each frame one by one and put it onto Beneton Movie GIF and save it that way. The way I do it you need quite a bit of spare time and some patience ![]() Ask if your trying and you get stuck x -- Changing the shape of animated avatars, hmm - not one Ive mastered yet ![]() I'd need a shaped cropper to be able to do that lol x |
