How to create an animated avatar

 

If you are an avid forum poster or blog commenter, you surely are familiar with Avatar. The Avatar we are talking about here is not the movie but the graphics that represents your character in a forum, blog and more. An avatar can be three-dimensional or 3D like the ones used in computer games or two-dimensional like what you can see in forums and blogs. You might wonder how these eye-catching graphics are made. Let us together know how to create avatar.

Below are the steps:

· To start with, you need to prepare everything you need. You will need to have a copy of the show you want to make a GIF, a program that will allow you to take screenshots, and a photo editor.

· The second step that you need to do is to get screenshots. Open your program that will let you take snapshots, play your video and start taking snapshots.

· Now let us proceed to the third step. After you have taken snapshots, you can now upload the photos in your photo editing software. It can be GIMP or Photoshop and other photo editing software. If you are using GIMP, drag your first image into the main window. You now must have a new window with the photo and another window called layers. You then do the same step with the remaining photos (drag them into the layer window of your GIMP).

· After that, make it animation out of the layers of photos you have. You right click the image, select filters, then animation and lastly, click playback. There must be a new window to pop up, with the play icon. Click play and you will see how your animation would look like.

If you find your frames are out of order, just drag them around in the layers window until you find it good enough. If you find that you animation is playing too fast or too slow, just double each layer of your GIMP and change the speed from 100 to your desired number. One must note though that lower numbers will play your animation faster and larger numbers the other way around. Have a preview of your animation to make sure everything is right.

· Now on our fourth step, resize your image. A desired size of an avatar can be depending on the community you are a member. Some forums require avatars to be 100x100 pixels.

· Lastly, save the file as GIF.
Now you already have the avatar even if you do not have the avatar generator.
