How would you produce an animated GIF
From an old ROM that you're playing on an emulator.
Anyone any ideas?

Re: How would you produce an animated GIF
It'd be slow.
Screenshot it (practice on this - go Alt-PrntScrn) then go into Paint and Copy/Paste it. Save this file as a still image (if it's the first in the animation, saving it as 1.jpg is a good idea).
Then do the same for all the other frames you'd want in your animation.
Then get an animator program (I use Fireworks which has a whole host of things you don't need, so google for something like "GIF creator"). It should be relatively simple from then on - just opening each individual frame and slotting them all together.
The first step is getting all the individual images - then if you have problems I could do it, or 1-X could (although he hasn't been seen round there here parts lately).

Re: How would you produce an animated GIF
some emulators have a recording mode that automatically makes a video, does yours? (then you'd just need to google a "whatever format it's in to gif" converter)
are you after the entire game screen or just some small part of it, eg. a looping character animation? (because that's possibly extra work too)

Re: How would you produce an animated GIF
Thanks for the help chaps.
Re: I-X - Aye, I'd just be after a character animation loop. I couldn't say whether my emulator has a recording mode. I'd have to check.

Record the "video" with something like Fraps, edit it with something like VirtualDub and to create a GIF Animation you could use ULeads Gif Animator or something free.
You can get ULeads Gif Animator for free with some low price gfx tools like Photoimpact XL. There are also cheaper alternatives to Fraps on the net but i havent tried them - you could look here.

Re: How would you produce an animated GIF
once you've got the images, GIMP allows you to [put each as a separate layer, and then when trying to save as a gif it prompts you to make it animated, and asks for the other bits (delay etc.)

Re: How would you produce an animated GIF
Id also recommend Ulead GIF Animator, not least because the last version I had was one which the trial version could be hacked to a full version (and its pretty good).

No , my trial version expired after 28 days and I moved to an alternative product with another trial period as there are many on the market.

Someone on SA has that avatar anyway (I saw it on D&D I think) so if you wanted that you could just steal it from them. Who had it first though tom, who had it first?

Re: How would you produce an animated GIF
I never saw it as an avatar
He probably stole it off me!
I think I wanted something else from Monkey Island at the time, and was googling through animations and images when I found it and thought "neat-oh".

Right, I've got the individual images and I've downloaded ULead. Anything else I'll need?

The guy on SA has had it for quite a while, but it's not like it's some kind of IP. Doesn't matter who had it first, it's a good avatar.
