Revision as of 15:43, 9 July 2014

Time Narration
00:23 Today we'll talk about simple animation.
00:28 The package of GIMP animation is called GAP or GIMP animation package which can do a lot about Animations, Films and Movies
00:43 But we'll cover that later.
00:46 The oldest animations in Germany are called Daumenkio or Front Cinema.
00:55 And in English its called Flip Book or Flick Book.
01:02 This book contains a lot of images which are nearly the same but slide modifications from page to page and if you flick through them, you get little moving picture.
01:20 This video here is a animation too and you are looking at a slide show with 25 images per second.
01:36 Here are two advertise, this is mine and this one from Rob which show animated gif.
01:51 I want to improve my advertise here.
01:56 I want to show in my advertise the Meet The GIMP logo.
02:04 Now I have to save this image to my desktop and I have to successfully create an animation.
02:15 So now I steal my own image and save it on my desktop.
02:24 I open this image with the GIMP.
02:28 Just pull it over to the tool box and here it is.
02:35 Let me enlarge this a bit here.
02:43 Basically there is no animation in this image but there is a stack of eight layers in the layer dialog.
02:56 And on the top you can see that this is a gif image which is indexed and has eight layers of 80 by 80 pixels.
03:13 This image is made out of 256 different colours.
03:19 And to look at these colours go to Dialog and ColorMap.
03:27 Here you can see the colours which are used in this image and there is lot of blue and some other colours and each colour has a index and the HTML notation.
03:50 So gif images are indexed and not rgb images and so they have only one limited colours available.
04:05 Now let's look at the frames here.
04:10 You can see that the 1st layer is named as background and in bracket it is in milliseconds i.e 5 Seconds.
04:25 So this image is shown for 5 seconds and then follows the frames 2,3,4 with 100 milliseconds and there is an option of replace.
04:42 To see the frames I just press the shift key and hold and click on the eye here and all the other frames are made invisible.
04:55 And now I can stack them on the top here.
05:03 There is a draw back of using the index colours.
05:07 You can see lot of spots in here because these tile has only 256 different colours available.
05:18 So this here is my background image.
05:23 And this is the other one and also the other image I used in this animation and this drawing was made by the people instead of following the lesson and I have used it with his permission.
05:44 And the rest of these images are simply mixtures of the other images to get a smooth way from one to the other.
05:56 To recreate this animation I have to take two images out of this stack which is very easy.
06:06 Just click on the thumbnail here and hold the mouse button and draw it up to the tool box.
06:15 And here is my 1st image.
06:18 Now click here and this one here is my 2nd image.
06:24 So I have these two images here and I can close my original animation and I don’t want to save anything of it.
06:40 Now I wanted to include the Meet the GIMP logo.
06:46 Just pull it over to the tool box and here it is.
06:53 I have to rescale it down to 80 by 80 pixels and then I have to include white colour as my background because black would be too harsh with this image.
07:12 And to do that I just add a new layer, fill it with white and pull it down and now I have white as my background.
07:25 Right click into the layer dialog and select Flatten Image.
07:33 Now I have a flat Meet The GIMP logo on white.
07:39 Now go to Image, Scale Image and I want to have 80 pixels, and in Interpolation, cubic is good. Click on Scale.
07:51 And now the image is rescaled but it is way to soft.
07:58 After rescaling you have to sharpen it.
08:03 So I go to Filters, Enhance, Sharpen.
08:09 I think I should go fairly high with the sharpness.
08:15 I think this is good.
08:22 Now I have 3 images waiting for becoming one animation.
08:29 One thing I have nearly forgotten is saving these basic images.
08:37 The 1st one is this here, Meet The GIMP and I Save it as mtg80.xcf.
08:55 And this one here too.
08:58 Other way to access menu is right click into the image and go to Image, Mode and RGB.
09:11 Then go to File and Save As.
09:21 I’ll use this image as my base.
09:26 So, I save it again and this time as the copy.
09:33 And I call it avatar.xcf.
09:41 Yes I want to replace it, I have done that before.
09:48 Go to File, Open.
09:52 So here this is my basic image.
09:56 And the 1st thing I want to do is blend this image with Meet The GIMP Logo.
10:05 And for that I make a copy of this one and mix it with the logo.
10:14 I select this image by clicking and pulling this into my tool box and here I have my layer and now I select the logo and pull it over to this image and you get a scrap layer which is untitled and it will never be saved.
10:40 Now I have here two layers with my images.
10:46 And I want to have 3 steps between these 2 layers.
10:51 For doing that I choose a transparency of lets say about 25%.
11:01 Now I flatten this image and pull it to my avatar.xcf image.
11:11 I'll change these names later on.
11:18 I go back to the untitled image, go to Edit and Undo.
11:27 Now I set the transparency to about 50%.
11:36 Right click on the layer and select Flatten Image, and before pulling this, I just rename the layer as Frame X and in bracket I type 100 milliseconds.
12:02 Now I pull this to avatar.xcf and go back to my image.
12:14 I press ctrl + Z and change the opacity of the top layer to say something about 75%.
12:26 Right click on the layer and select Flatten Image.
12:34 I pull this layer to this image.
12:39 And that’s it for this animation step.
12:45 Now I have to pull the logo to this image and here I have my 1st 3 layers of blending.
12:57 And now I just close the scrap layer here and don’t save it.
13:05 Now we’ll look how this has worked out.
13:10 But before that I save my work here.
13:15 And now I go to Filters, Animation and Playback.
13:26 Here is my animation.
13:29 I click on play.
13:33 1st I have to change the names of these layers before playing it.
13:43 You can rename the layers the same way as with the lot of other image word processing option.
13:56 Just mark the text, press Ctrl + C and double click on the next layer and press Ctrl + V and change the necessary stuff.
14:14 Now all the frames have their proper names.
14:22 So I go back to my image select Filter, Animation, Playback and lets look at this here.
14:34 You see the basic image.
14:38 And it is transformed to the other image but it is very quick.
14:50 It could be little bit slower.
14:55 So I’ll change the timing to say 200 milli seconds.
15:02 So again Filters, Animation, Playback.
15:15 I think this is better.
15:18 The last thing to do is index this image and save it as a gif image. And this is easily done.
15:30 Just go to File, Save As and then change the name extention to GIF and click on Save.
15:43 Then I get an option dialog
15:47 And gif cannot handle these layers here.
15:52 And it can only handle animation frames.
15:57 So I want to save it as Animation.
16:04 GIF can handle only Grey Scale or Index Images.
16:10 So i want to convert it to index result.
16:15 These are the default setting I found they are good enough for my stuff and I can change it but I don’t think it's necessary.
16:26 So I click on Export.
16:29 Here you see Created With The GIMP and Loop forever.
16:36 In Frame disposal I want to replace frame from frame.
16:43 And these other options are unchecked so I leave them unchecked because, if I want to change the timings to 5000 or 2000 milliseconds then i can do it.
17:01 Now click on Save and we’ll look at the result.
17:07 And for that we'll not use GIMP but Mozilla.
17:13 In Mozilla it works as expected.
17:18 Good bye upto next week.
17:22 This is Hemant Waidande dubbing for the Spoken Tutorial project.
