How to Make a Stick Figure Animation for Free (A Tutorial Update)

In this video I tell you how to make a stick figure animation for free by downloading programs you can easily find by searching for them on google.

The programs are as follows: VirtualDub, Microsoft Gif Animator, and Beneton Movie Gif.

Note: Beneton Movie Gif can load avi files but I can't get it to work every time so I added the step of converting the avi file to gif format first because Beneton Movie Gif loads .gif files every time.

I realize there are different methods out there which is why I suggested you share your own method. Many people have recommended Pivot to me but I haven't used it because I want to stay consistent with my current style.

Me Vs. The Green Stick Figure Round 3 is still far from complete, I have been making slow progress though. Be patient, it will come eventually.

i need help!! the beneton movie gif is not working. it says its a virus program when i install it :( pleaseeee respond and help! anybody!!

[jhhwild]

@SweetLemon61 For some reason some virus programs consider Beneton Movie gif some sort of spyware program. Perhaps you can set up your virus scanner to ignore the warnings for beneton movie gif or you can close the virus scanner while you use it. I personally haven't had any problems with the program. Also try downloading it from the official beneton website.

Every time i try to open the video i recorded with microsoft gif animator it always says error file could not be read. any help?

[jhhwild]

@JaykstahTheGuitarist If you used Virtualdub to record the video try changing the settings. Before you record the video go to "Video" and click on "Video Compression" select "No recompression: YUY2". Also it might not open if the video is too long or the file size it too large, try making a smaller video. Make sure the frame rate is at 10 fps. If it still doesn't work then I don't know why that would be. Try opening the video with beneton movie gif.

he never blinks!

@MegaPops101 That is because I have no need to blink due to the fact that I am made of synthetic materials due to being an android and all.

anything for mac?

@v9vREBORN Is there an option not to install those during the installation process? I don't remember getting that spyware when I installed it or having any of the problems associated with that spyware.

I like Beneton Movie Gif, its a good program. I'll probably have to find a new program to recommend due to the problems associated with it but I'll still use it because I personally haven't had any problems with it.
