[GamerGuy2134]

[geekyartist]

@GamerGuy2134 gimp can't do that for you, it depends on your site maker :)

Is there a way to make a burn in logo that I can add to the beginning of a video, such as in windows movie maker?

[geekyartist]

@RUNN1NGEMOT10N try cyberlink powerdirector, it has a "burn" effect

[geekyartist]

@mskiara18 I hope to improve that, you're welcome

[Dabutcha99]

that's a great tutorial, very nice. is there any way gimp could create a similar banner, and have fade to another image, and possibly another before returning to the original image?

[geekyartist]

@Dabutcha99 thank you :) check my gimp video on transparency

[kikstar45]

my gimp wnt respond it cnt find data files wtf?!?!?!?

[cKJewboy]

how do you make it look smooth like that mine just looks like a lotta dots!

[MrScratchable]

Control x doesn`t work for me. How?

[Jikkistaan]

Thank you for this video, it's really helpful :)

But I have a question... If I make a banner and choose 'burn in', the letters and background are animated. What can I do to make only the letters animated?

[geekyartist]

go to layers - then select add alpha to selection

you can also check out my video about adding gradient colors to your text :)

[MrHamiltonTV]

Thnx I wanted to do custom web banners for my web design company. Ur a god!

[geekyartist]

Oh no I'm not. lol

you're welcome :D

[christ15271]

[gotclicks2]

Excellent videos.  Thanks to you, I was able to create a great animated banner ad for my client. Tried to attach the video to show you - not sure if it worked or not! Again, thanks a bunch. Love how you teach.

Take care

[geekyartist]

Thanks as well. :D Glad I was able to help. :)

You are welcome.

[SuperGothicDream]

Great job on all your videos :) What version of GIMP did you use, mine is a little different?

[geekyartist]

this is an older version .. 2.4.7 I believe :)

[SuperGothicDream]

Ohhhh, that explains it, thanks :)

[geekyartist]

no problem :)

[geekyartist]

thank you :)

[baranbary]

thank you :)

[TheJification]

How did you go to the layers window? You just left the mouse on edit?

[geekyartist]

to open the layers window, press CTRL+L

[oOSamuraiOo]

CTRL+L

[iplaysongs4u]

I know HOW to do all this but your showing me to do all this in one banner which makes them look veen better!

[flieonthewal]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! :)

[geekyartist]

you're welcome, you're welcome, you're welcome :)

[Phr33Pur3]

Dude, please tell me how to do that burning affect.

[geekyartist]

i made a video about making a flaming text, check it out

[Phr33Pur3]

Alright, thanks, I will, but everytime I put it through that filter > animators > Burn In effect, it never works.

[Phr33Pur3]

Thanks for the vid, really good, I learned alot :)

[geekyartist]

you're welcome :)

[thebonuspointband]

[tutorialguy345]

how do i send you an email

[Death2Sanity]

Very helpful video. I'd definitely kill the shoutouts, but other than that was very informative. Thanks!

[geekyartist]

thank you

glad to help and i hope to improve

[Ryku650]

Dude, you might not want to do the "omg ty subscribers!! joo rock!!!" thing in the beginning of your videos. And also, you might want to start to RAISE THE VOLUME LEVEL with your voice.

[geekyartist]

thanks for that .. will do :)

[lighterinthestorm]

it s difficult to see something, u talk too fast, you do too fast you often get confused then u do a thought jump, you do nt say anyth about configurations. Nice try kid, but 2 stars. And the beginning of the video was starting to kill me.

[geekyartist]

point taken .. thanks :)

hope to improve

[L4Dfan]

You don't talk to fast, LOL, I think he just has bad ears, or a crappy speaker system. :P

[geekyartist]

LOL :P

thank you for that :)

[bigsay007]

wait a minute.how did you already have color in your layer.i cant get the color.how did you do that.

[geekyartist]

what do you mean by color?

before the filters, you can choose your colors by clicking the colored overlapped rectangles

[NuffinUNeed]

Hey

I watched this from Google Video

And

I got lost when you had to add a new layer

How did you open the Layer window like that? All I can figure out it go Layer>New Layer in the topic selection bar

Please Tell!

[geekyartist]

press CTRL+L .. i had mentioned this in most of my gimp videos

[NuffinUNeed]

Thanks, its just that I only recently got GIMp, thanks :)

[geekyartist]

no problem

[AmericanTinMan]

cheddaboy88, that is illegal and u can be sued. be careful =)

[geekyartist]

he's right :)

[geekyartist]

it depends on the way you crop your images .. and then you can smoothen your images either by resizing or using the lasso tool

[therobster1990]

Great Thanks (Subscribed)

[geekyartist]

thanks as well :)

[therobster1990]

Hello May I Ask How You Use The Burn In Animation For Text Becuase When I Select The Text Filters>Animation>Burn In Says: The Burn-In Script Needs Two Layers In Total. A Forground Layer With Transparency And A Background Layer.

I Will Subscribe If You Help

[geekyartist]

all you need to do is duplicate your original layer, with your layer copy, go to layers - transparency - add alpha to the channel

you should be able to use the burn-in filter

[josdary179]

When i click ctrl+x some thing pops out

[haha045]

Wow you post alot.

instead right click and click "cut".

And by any chance do you play Naruto Arena or go on Naruto Boards?

[josdary179]

[geekyartist]
