hi! i'm a different anon from the one who complimented your gif making skills, but I a 100% agree with that anon. i was wondering if you could ever go over your process while making gifs? you said to ask people who's gif making skills I admire, so I'm asking you rn

Omg hi I'm honored! I'll do my best to give you a quick rundown but let me know if there's anything specific you'd like to know! (just pls keep in mind that I'm really still a beginner too + I've never done a tutorial or the like before haha)

(I use photopea but this works for Photoshop just as well.)

First, make sure you get a 1080p, 2k or 4k quality download to gif with— it'll make the process and especially the sharpening way easier. I've seen some people say it's possible to do with certain 720p files but I personally haven't done it yet so no comment on that. (I mostly use mega files (sometimes google doc files) as download source.

SET UP

1. I use KMplayer to screencap the scene I want to gif and then import the frames to photopea. (after screencapping I open photopea and go to file >open>then select the first frame of the scene and import it then go to file>open and place>then select the rest of my frames from first to last and import them all at once)

2. Next I select all of the frames in the workbar and rasterize (shift + right click) them then I go to Layer>Animation>make frames. After that I click shift + G to group my frames.

3. Now depending on if I gif bbc merlin or star wars I sharpen or color first. For sharpening, once again select all your frames and then go to Filter>Sharpen>Smart Sharpen and pick your preferred sharpening settings.

COLORING

The amount of adjustment layers I use here widely depends on the gif and og coloring of it but—

I always start with a Brightness/Contrast layer and set the blending mode to Screen, then I adjust the opacity to fit the lighting to my liking.

Then a Curves layer followed by a levels layer and last but not least a selective Color layer.

Depending on if the media I'm working on is tinted blue, green, yellow or grey I apply a Hue/Saturation layer and amp it up to 100% to get an idea of what colors are hiding underneath. Once I did I delete it again and add a Color Balance layer.

That's it.

#That's my process for a basic gifset #No effects nothing just coloring #I hope it somehow makes sense... It might be all over the place story 😬#Ann does gifmaking #I hope you see this anon #Happy gifmaking!

#utsukushii kare #my beautiful man #hira kazunari #kiyoi sou #hira x kiyoi #gifset #*#//#not the first not the second not even the third nor the fourth person to associate hirakiyo to this song #but god am I the most annoying about it #this was made on a whim but I spent the whole night working on the coloring so I hope it doesn't look awful #I also had Hira's spirit hovering over me as a manifestation of my fear of not making Kiyoi justice. wanted to quit gifmaking forever #but now that is done I think it actually looks above my skill level so I'm very happy with the result #also!! especially for this occasion I finally learned how to make gradient text 😃😃#I got confused a few times and it took me an embarrassing length of time but look!! I did it!!#(for the theme of the set itself there is not much I wanna comment except ^*!!:-@*£shxbs@^& what a beautiful man what the hell)

Ranveer Singh and Tota Roy Choudhury performing kathak, an Indian classical dance form typically performed by women, in ROCKY AUR RANI KII PREM KAHAANI (2023)

#bollywood #rocky aur rani kii prem kahaani #ranveer singh #tota roy choudhury #adventures in gifmaking #gonna have to add another installment to my queerness in indian media series #tho I won't be returning to that for a while bc as I said before....it's kind of exhausting lol #but anyway seeing this in the theatre. transcendent. delightful. euphoric. breathtaking. marvelous.#audience cheering and clapping and so happy #and the fact it's ranveer singh....and karan johar directing....feels good #saw in a film companion interview that this was inspired from karan johar's own life bc he said he was 'effeminate' and-#-danced to the women's parts of bollywood songs as a child #glad he got to display this on the big screen in a big budget mainstream hindi movie! and it is positive! and the audience took it well!#long post

horizontober 2023 | 3: recognize

greetings, dr. sobeck. you are clear to proceed.

#horizontober2023 #horizon zero dawn #hzd #aloy #hzd all-mother mountain #so i saw this prompt and this scene is what i thought of #and i was like oh i can put my new gifmaking powers to use!#aaaaaand it turns out to be like the hardest scene to fit under tumblr's 10mb limit bc of all the glow and the gradients that causes #(i'm still learning/experimenting - and using only free software - so i'm sure a seasoned gifmaker could do/has done much better T_T )#i'm not particularly happy with the coloring in the first two either but i decided i'm *done* lmao #also apparently i'm too lazy to add subtitles sorry i think y'all still get the idea #gifs #hzd gifs #finally thank u to the person on youtube who uploaded the cutscenes bc i sure as heck didn't have a video or a save in the right spot

Just thinking about how Chen Yi was always so stern and uptight with basically the same tense facial expression no matter what but started to dimple-beam at Ai Di as if he was the sun himself as soon as he declared his love for him and found it reciprocated and it makes me giddy.

#if one of you lovely gifmakers out there made a gifset of all the times chen yi smiles his heart out at ai di I'd be forever in your debt #it just makes me so happy seeing him so liberated and openly in love #kiseki: dear to me #ai di x chen yi
