How do you add animation?

GhostlifeMaku 2022-12-23 09:26:47 UTC #1

I have this short animation, and I want to add it to my webcomic page, but I don't know how
Do any of you have an idea or have done it?

Upload it as a GIF file of 940w by 1000h pixels max, less than 2 mb in size.

Example -

And what app/window did you use?

Yes I’ve seen you do some cool animations on your comic

Adobe Photoshop to create the simple GIF files. Same as all the PNGs and JPEGS.
Also use PHSP to make the mpeg files for my YT channel -

Thank you so much for the help, but i do have a question though. Is there an app for that that I can use? Since I can't use window and stuff at the moment. Thank you

Do you have a short animation you already made and need to convert to a gif, or do you still need to make the actual animation? I think some clarity here would help others advise you on next steps better.

Also what program or app are you making your comic in?

what kind of animation are you thinking of doing? I might be able to help out if you would like.

It's still in progress, and the app I'm using is ibisPaint thank you

For now a short one, but it depends on the mood of my story or I just want a long one thank you

Hmm, I'm only confident in animating effects and still images. I haven't nailed down motion quite yet. I mean, I use csp, so idk if I could help, sounds beyond me sorry

Best of luck on the animation tho! Its pretty fun seeing it come out

Okay, so if I were you, I would google "making gifs with ibisPaint". If you already know kind of how to animate in the program, it's probably just a matter of saving it the correct way. But by googling that, if there's a similar app that can convert the animation to gif, it will probably come up.

Once it's saved in gif format, it is the same process as uploading a regular comic page on tapas.

This is what comes up on youtube:

Keep in mind tapas is not a site for animation. Anything animated will probably need to be on the smaller side. Just something to be mindful of!
