Gimp Tutorial: Animated Fire Text

[96hearts11]

I wanted to make this but I couldn't click on 'okay' after the naimated fire :(

Is it because my laptop is small?

[sebi21street]

@96hearts11 I have the same problem, but you have to press ENTER and will work :)

[natsirht28]

download after effects if you want animations!!

[LordZabujca]

>Edit/cut instead of broken del

Yeah, you could do that.

Or you could ctrl+x instead like it says next to "cut".

Kid, your voice won't be "thick" until you hit puberty.

That makes you can both focus AND click in only one click

[ThatsNoMo0n]

what program did you use to film this its so cool

[ChrisJVideos]

I would think iMovie, since he owns a Macintosh OS

[ShadowMiser]

When you save it as a .gif check "Save as an Animation" instead of "Save as one image"

:)

[nate191996]

I saved it as a .gif, and it ended up was 1 image. What should I do?

[ChrisJVideos]

When you save as, make sure you save it as an animation instead of one image.

[Bakuriii]

Awsome :D

[mrlegocollector2]

2:02 look at the botton right. WARCRAFT!

[MrBeatdown21]

[kingraf77]

How do you get the animated fire

[Olemassacre]

Does the animated-fire effect need a text to work? Or can I just add the Animated-fire to the background so I can add more photos on top of the fire? And just one more question... Can I add a picture on top of the fire and make the half of the picture under the fire and the rest of it over the fire? So it looks like the picture stand inside the fire.

[shadowluigio]

How do you get the animated fire animation? O.o

[T200G012009]

heyyy THIS IS EASIER : Write a white text into a black backround, klick animated fire and then choose Multiply Mode and u will ge the best resutlt !

[rifle2744]

How comes when I do that alpha thing my hole screen starts to flash?

[panoramaaaaa]

nice tx

[5stm]

i have this rain animation but i cant get it to work i did the same as i did for the fire but still nothing. can u help me lol thanks

[dansvidco]

oh and by the way mate, how do you save this text and make it my youtube avatar? record it or what?

[GimpKnowHow]

Unfortunately, youtube doesn't accept .gif images as avatars.

You would save the text as a .gif, and when the dialog pops up, click save as animation.

[dansvidco]

ah, thanks

[sepeterson86]

I can't seem to get it to save the right way. how do i look at the .gif (with what program can i get it to loop with)?

[digimonfan81]

@GimpKnowHow since my screen is to big i cant resize and now i cant use it!

[TheShadowstar101]

@GimpKnowHow i downloaded the plugin but my computer wont show it when I open the animations tab? How do i fix it? :'(

[Koltyn360]

@GimpKnowHow great videos gimp know how there the best out in my opinion plus you must be like 11-12 in some and your talking so mature that that 30 year adults would have trouble not lookin imature around you. lol keep them coming good work

[dansvidco]

normally I would lurk around youtube not thanking anyone like this, but you a freakin awesome... I'm 25 years old and I thought I knew alot about computers.. then I watched you videos and they had me scratching my head :) Thanks alot mate

[mudkip97]

When i click download it brings me to a buch of text please message me telling me how

[iOwnTheGamez]

Right click on the Download Link thing, and click 'Save Target As...' or whaterever it says on your PC, and save it in the Scripts Folder.

[10pinbowling]

i got the plugin to work, i right clicked on it saved it to my desktop, then copied and pasted nthe file into my scripts folder in Gimp...

[cheeseNham27]

how do you download it when i click download it goes into the terms of use

[10pinbowling]

I cant get the plug in to work, infact i cant get it to download....and if i could, how would i go about putting this file into my version of gimp!!!!

[Tofalidi]

i downloaded the script normally but when i click ok in the animated fire window, an error popped up writing these:

"Error while executing script-fu-fire-anim:

Error: Bad syntax of binding spec in let* : ((theSelection) (newImage) (activeLayer) (activeLayerCopy) (activeLayerHolder) (floatingSelection) (activeLayerBlendMode (cond ((equal? blendOpt 0) NORMAL-MODE) ((equal? blendOpt 1) DISSOLVE-MODE) ((equal? blendOpt 2) MULTIal?...." and some more that i can't write..

any ideas what should i do??

[notsoordinary95]

does anyone have the problem with getting the script itself (all that text and stuff) popping up instead of the download screen?

i tried saving the page as a .txt, .html, .mht but none seem to work.

if anyone knows if its just Windows explorer or something i need to do, please tell me.

it would really help :)

[Slazeyboy]

loved the video, but how is having to click the screen to select it that much more inconvienient? you're LAZY

[GimpKnowHow]

I'm not lazy, I'm inpatient. As you can see in some of my later videos, I use gimp very quickly.

[planetpatrick]

bugger, well instead of me getting a new tower i'll get a imac =)

[sharkjawsproductions]

i have a problem with the plugin, when i click download it just comes up with a big page of text and not open/save buttons. i read the instructions:

Click on the Download link* and you will be given the option to open/save the scrip**t. If you choose the save option, it will most likely be saved to your desktop. Just get the file and drag/drop (or copy/paste) it into the GIMP scripts folder (location described below).

i only get up to *. ** never happens. plz help =(

[GimpKnowHow]

Try a different browser.

[MonkeysMasters]

COMMAND -DELETE SHOULD WORK

[GimpKnowHow]

it doesn't.

[MonkeysMasters]

I will ask my uncle he is a military computer geek

[Huntereich]

sweet thanks!!!

[123Nikaoo321]

which program do you use to add the intro until 0:15?

[GimpKnowHow]

iMovie

[sharkjawsproductions]

is there anything like it for xp/vista? as in does the same effects ans stuff. plz don't say vegas though, it's too complicated.

[GimpKnowHow]

Nope. Any similar program will cost you around 300$.

[sharkjawsproductions]

do u know any of the names for these programs?

[GimpKnowHow]

Adobe Aftereffects, though, that's MORE complicated than vegas.

[gig603]

rofl rofl gimp is free and it is for pc and mac lol!!!!

[sharkjawsproductions]

i'm not talking about gimp i'm talking about iMovie

[Azculle]

Why do you want to import it? Just use the import button, that should work!

[MOMOisCOOLISH]

u r the gimp master!!

[GimpKnowHow]

I know, right?

JK

[macmillzer]

i made an awesome picture in gimp but i want it to make it my youtube logo in my viddeos

how could i import it to windows movie maker

[cheeserider13]

I hope it's alright for me to answer, GKH.

To my current knowledge, this is what you have to do.

Open your already made image in Gimp. Then go "File"- "Save As".

Now it will go into the files so you can change the name, or save it somewhere else.

Now, at the bottom you should see a little + sign. I can't remember what it says. Click on it, and it will bring down a list of extensions so you can save it in a different format. Now choose "jpeg image".

[cheeserider13]

Sorry, went over the limit.

Your image should change from .xcf to .jpeg.

Now, it should be compatible with all the stuff on your PC.

Hope I helped!

[GimpKnowHow]

It's fine if you answer! Thanks for helping me out.

[IcyRay12]

I noticed the World of Warcraft icon on your screen. You play WoW? Awesome. I don't have the money for WoW, but I play guild wars. You should check it out. It is so fun.

[maxrox156]

the link dosent work it says that it is corrupted when i try to open it with winrar

[Obito313]

uhhh i am alittle confused i am not sure if i am doing it right because i am not sure if you have to make the animated fire... because i am making it.... or was making it but i am alittle confused and cannot get any farther then where i am... can you please help

[Blooberry95]

Im not sure how to download the fire animation. When i try opening it, it says it can't what's the procedure of dowloading it?

[GimpKnowHow]

See my putting extras into Gimp Tutorial.

You can't open Script-Fu's. YOu have to save them in Gimp's program files.

[Blooberry95]

that explains it. Oh and lol that was a really fast respond.

[FreewillTutorials]

And why not just use Control, X to cut.

[FreewillTutorials]

Now I know I may sound a little mad at nothing but I just want to get this off my mind (Which I am not mad anyway), why does everyone use cut? Cut is copying but it deletes the original, so you can paste it else where. Using clear is equal to delete though. Okay I am done, back to the topic, I loved it 5/5!

[GimpKnowHow]

I explained why I used cut. On a mac, gimp runs through X11, which is a program that lets macs run Linux applications. As of now, gimp is not native to OS X. This means that any shortcuts I use: Ctrl+C ect. Do not work on gimp. This is why I can't just press delete. I am aware cut copies. Glad you liked it!

[GimpKnowHow]

As I explained before, Gimp on a mac does NOT support keyboard shortcuts. Ctrl+X is a shortcut. The delete key is (Technically) a shortcut.

[FreewillTutorials]

why not use a gimp version made for the mac instead of running a linux version?

[FreewillTutorials]

Nevermind I just took a look and you need x11. Sorry, about that.

[AcornComicsInc]

Sometimes, I imagine what life would be like w/o GIMP... *shiver*

[GimpKnowHow]

I lol'd.

It truly would be a bleak place...

[mamdk]

wouldn't it be faster to make a script for the cutting?

[GimpKnowHow]

And learn code?

If you can write a script, by all means, do so.

[westsidethug45]

nice

[Powerfox1995]

Nice tutorial. Also, gratz on the 700 subs.

[d2gizzo]

Very nice. It is realistic. Cheers.

[Huntereich]

do you have a mac or osx? cuz i have xp and i love gimp!!!!

[GimpKnowHow]

I have OSX.

[VideoGuru999]

w000, i missed your tutorials mate, i think you should make some more on animating on gimp etc.
