hello and welcome to an

00:00:03.899 --> 00:00:08.069
SFM GIF Tutorial. I'll be
showing you how to

00:00:08.069 --> 00:00:13.309
export a GIF that you made, and put
it on things like DeviantArt

00:00:13.309 --> 00:00:18.199
or whatever source of media you want to put it on. So,
we have Dash here

00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:21.490
bouncing a ball against the side of the
frame here and

00:00:21.490 --> 00:00:25.109
very happy doing it. So, what we're gonna do is

00:00:25.109 --> 00:00:28.320
we're going to put it into a program called
Photoshop

00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:31.689
and we're gonna make the GIF in there. So, We're going to do

00:00:31.689 --> 00:00:34.829
file, export movie

00:00:34.829 --> 00:00:40.960
continue without saving. And you want to do an
image sequence, and you want do that because

00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:42.550
you want every single frame

00:00:42.550 --> 00:00:45.629
to come into the program, so just do that

00:00:45.629 --> 00:00:51.550
format PNG. No sound cause we're making a GIF

00:00:51.550 --> 00:00:55.199
resolution's fine, so do that. Output

00:00:55.199 --> 00:00:59.730
you wanna go to your program files

00:00:59.730 --> 00:01:03.260
go down to steam, steam apps

00:01:03.260 --> 00:01:06.659
common, source filmmaker, game

00:01:06.659 --> 00:01:10.299
usermod, elements

00:01:10.299 --> 00:01:15.930
sessions, and what I did here is I made a
folder just for image sequences so you can

00:01:15.930 --> 00:01:19.979
do that yourselves, just make a folder. Open that

00:01:19.979 --> 00:01:23.659
and I made another folder here for just GIF's so just click on that

00:01:23.659 --> 00:01:27.620
we're just gonna name this uhh

00:01:27.620 --> 00:01:30.000
Tutorial GIF

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:36.060
save that. We're gonna export

00:01:39.320 --> 00:01:44.520
and you can actually preview this.

00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:56.140
so you can preview it in real time, you can see everything going on

00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:02.320
and just gonna

00:02:02.330 --> 00:02:06.050
take a bit for that to go

00:02:49.150 --> 00:02:51.780
Ok, so when that's all done just close that out

00:02:51.780 --> 00:02:55.650
and we're gonna go into Photoshop here

00:02:55.650 --> 00:02:58.840
so what you're gonna do is go to File

00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:02.880
scrips, load files into stack

00:03:02.880 --> 00:03:06.970
You're gonna go to browse, go to wherever you saved the GIF

00:03:06.970 --> 00:03:10.830
gonna select the first one, go all the way down to the end

00:03:10.830 --> 00:03:14.190
and hold down SHIFT and click the last
frame

00:03:14.190 --> 00:03:21.190
We're gonna hit Okay. Gonna take a bit for it to go in

00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:27.500
When that's done doing that, hit Ok. And Photoshop's just

00:03:27.500 --> 00:03:34.500
importing all the images from that
image sequence so it's gonna take a little bit

00:03:41.050 --> 00:03:44.250
And this is a way that I found works
in CS6

00:03:44.250 --> 00:03:47.450
there are ways to do it CC there are
probably

00:03:47.450 --> 00:03:51.380
easier to do than this, but this is a way
that works for me and

00:03:51.380 --> 00:03:55.460
this is the way that I've been doing it

00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:17.680
Ok, so when that's done doing that, hit the drop down

00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:21.680
or drop up, and you're going to select make frames from layers

00:04:23.780 --> 00:04:26.280
as we preview the GIF here

00:04:26.290 --> 00:04:32.700
you're going to see that the animation's going backwards. So to
to fix that, you gotta go to reverse frames

00:04:32.700 --> 00:04:38.300
and if you preview it again, you'll see that the animation's going forward

00:04:38.300 --> 00:04:40.160
and after we're done doing that

00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:44.450
you're gonna say select all frames. Select anyone of these it doesn't matter

00:04:44.450 --> 00:04:48.620
go to other, and you're going to type in .04

00:04:48.620 --> 00:04:53.220
now .04 is equal to 24 frames per
second if you want to save it that way

00:04:53.220 --> 00:04:54.560
so just hit Ok

00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:59.580
and to save it, we're gonna go to file

00:04:59.590 --> 00:05:03.390
save for web

00:05:03.390 --> 00:05:07.990
just gonna take a little bit for it to load

00:05:13.750 --> 00:05:16.960
as you can see this is going to be really big, so we're gonna shrink it down a bit

00:05:16.960 --> 00:05:20.660
just say 600

00:05:33.200 --> 00:05:34.600
K, looks good

00:05:34.610 --> 00:05:37.810
for colors, 256 is the highest quality you
can get

00:05:37.810 --> 00:05:42.080
dither, if you lower it down to say
like 20%

00:05:42.080 --> 00:05:46.080
it will decrease the file size but won't be
as great quality, so if you want high quality

00:05:46.080 --> 00:05:47.600
just put that up to 100%

00:05:47.610 --> 00:05:51.350
I'm just going to play it

00:05:52.420 --> 00:05:53.340
looks good

00:05:53.350 --> 00:05:58.660
you want it looping forever. And to save it, just save it to you're desktop. Just say

00:05:58.660 --> 00:06:03.480
Test GIF

00:06:06.460 --> 00:06:11.660
Ok, now let's go take a look. And there you have a GIF

00:06:11.660 --> 00:06:17.840
and to have a preview image, what I do is
I take the crop tool

00:06:17.840 --> 00:06:23.820
shrink it down. Just eyeball it, it doesn't need to be perfect

00:06:26.060 --> 00:06:29.620
just kinda make it square

00:06:29.629 --> 00:06:31.869
Right around there. Hit the checkmark

00:06:31.869 --> 00:06:39.459
gonna do the same thing. File, Save for Web. Now DeviantArt only takes

00:06:39.459 --> 00:06:43.889
um preview images are 150 X 150 so we're gonna do that

00:06:43.889 --> 00:06:47.009
gonna uncheck this

00:06:48.780 --> 00:06:50.660
it's just resizing

00:06:50.669 --> 00:06:56.979
150. That looks good so

00:06:56.979 --> 00:07:01.869
same settings. Hit preview. Looks good

00:07:01.869 --> 00:07:06.039
loop forever, that's fine. Save

00:07:06.039 --> 00:07:11.459
Test GIF Preview

00:07:13.740 --> 00:07:15.360
K

00:07:16.670 --> 00:07:23.080
and there you go. And that's how you make a GIF from Photoshop

00:07:23.080 --> 00:07:27.360
um thank you for watching and hopefully
this helps out with some

00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:31.720
issues you guys have been having. So thanks :)
