My mate has asked if there is any "good" free or cheap-ish software, he just wants to do a couple of small intros for his business. Nothing too major, probably something like moving scale or position keyframes. I think AE or Flash is out of his price range. He's got both a mac and a pc.

I'm doing a lot of high res scans lately on an animated/illustration project, and unfortunately this means doing the dreaded manual scanning of many pages. I have a great old flatbed scanner (canon 5200F and a backup canon MP280 all in one scan/print/fax), but if I could automate scanning 40-80 pages of stuff at 600-1200dpi that would be awesome. Mostly I work at A5, if that helps. Anyone got some good advice in this area? the_lion fucked around with this message at 12:15 on Oct 29, 2013 |

Neat skeleton! I think you may be better optimising it in Photoshop. Greyscale gorilla has a Photoshop action that might help you. Skip to around 14:00 in the video here and he goes over how to compress from memory: http://greyscalegorilla.com/blog/tutorials/basics-of-seamless-looping-animation-part-2/ Short answer: the more frames,motionblur and colours, the more problems you may have. Gifs are only 256 colours or less, so they tend to cause banding and stuff. He's doing a lot of similar stuff: http://greyscalegorilla.com/blog/tiny-animations/

redcheval posted:Oh, this is cool! I haven't seen his .gifs before. I was fiddling around in the Photoshop settings, but coming at it with a complete lack of knowledge on what all the settings really entailed and how to compress a .gif down to a manageable size without hemorrhaging quality, well, it was definitely confusing! His video and Photoshop action really helped, thank you! No worries! I just remembered there's a bit in the PYF Gif thread, 2nd post. That might help you too. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3537727 quote:Find an office supply place that has a scanner with a paper feeder? Paper feeder! That's what I was looking for, but couldn't think of the name. Buying one is probably out of my league ($4000), but office supply place might be for me. the_lion fucked around with this message at 21:02 on Nov 2, 2013 |
