i have a quick question...nothing too major...i have seen quite a few sigs (especially ones from gammerchick) with little video clips in them...i was messing around last night and came up with this sig...
---

---

and i want to insert a video clip into the white space (with the brush over the vid ) how exactly do i go about doing this ? i mean, i know it can be done...i have an idea of how...but i couldnt get it to work last night...i was trying to import the .mov clip from my blink-182 cd into flash...it would bring the vid up and i would edit it to make just a little clip...then i would hit finish...and it would just start all over again...

am i suppose to use flash...i figured i could import the vid...import my sig...resize the clip and move it into the white area....and make the clip behind the sig...then publish as .gif BUT IT WONT IMPORT THE CLIP!

help please

You could use flash I guess I would use PS or GIMP.

Here is a tutorial for this is the GIMP:

From the offical site of Flash so I would assume that it would be a pretty good tutorial

ok thanks...i actually tried to follow all of those...but gave up after reading the first couple paragraphs

but i got it ! ! !

i downloaded a third party converter (riverpast) and converted the .mov to .avi ... then imported that .avi into flash (it actually imported .avi - i dont know why it didnt do that to the .mov file, it said it would) then imported my sig and changed layer over the movie, resized the movie, moved into area...played...changed clip size...then exported as .gif works...only thing is that the file came out a little choppy....pixelated but yeah, ill fix that with later sigs i make...unless i get bored then ill fix this one

---> here it is <---

Whenever I open this page, I'm getting a popup for logging into bluewaffle.astahost.com's cpanel. Is there something wrong with one of the links posted?

Also, ebbinger .... I can't see the image. It's just giving me a 'user posted image'.

The LAST [x] is giving this problem i think .. maybe you should try to host the image in a folder close to root, or is there a problem with "//" in his address specified ? I'd love to see whats come out of it because i also wanted to do the same a few months back but just gave up.
