I know you can make gif images with some programs that put JPEG in a row, you can try that, but then you'll have to draw the pictures, or seek them on internet. How you can make something like this is also a question for me, but i'll stay tuned, cus I also wanna know

That's easy. What you need is Adobe Photoshop or Gimp to create the initial images. The text tool along with a few simple filters (motion blur, etc.) is all that was used to create that gif. Then after you have all of the images you need, compile them all in Ulead Gif Animator, save it as a gif, and upload it to the internet.

Hope this helped.

Awesome dude, I downloaded Adobe Photoshop CS2 instead of 7 and compiled with Ulead...this was the result:



Tell me what you think, its not exactly like the other but close enough to accept it.

Yup - that's exactly it. Now all you need to do it tweak around with different effects. Create maybe 10 gif frames with various degrees of motion blurs or any other effect of your choice and compile 'em... You're a fast learner.

Photoshop CS2? That program is quite expensive. GIMP should do also since it's free.

If you want, you can probably try using services or programs that are created mainly for gif animations. I found GIFWorks and GIF Animator. GIFWorks allows you to create a gif file online and the GIF Animator is a free program which you can download and use to create your gif animations.

You could also try Xara 3D, (http://www.xara.com/products/xara3d/) I tried an older trial version a while ago and found it pretty useful.

Looks good. Glad I could help you out.

to create that kind of gif is not that complicated all you need is the right software. One is the one from adobe, Image Ready. When you instal an Adobe Photoshop (the newer versions) the Image Ready is will also be installed. The process is simple. You only have to put graphix in sequence in the time line and by varying time you can create an animation of your own. I hope that will help.

AFTER EFFECTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If ya have it....

After Effect I refer to it as the photoshop for video.
Anytype of motion graphics instead of doing it frame by frame or anything long and complicated like that do it in after effects. Hands down. Also you can save project as a after effects project file and come back to it and change the output settings. Incase later on you want a flash or video version jsut go back and take 2 seconds to render out a different format.
