# Nice!
Making it into a gif shouldn't be too tricky

I don`t have imageready... and there doesn`t seem to be anything else out there that works well.
(I used a freeware tool and the gif was uncompressed... over 1mb... :o )

# If you've got the individual frames
doing it in gimp should be fairly simple
each frame a new layer and that
Would have to make the physical size smaller but its do-able

# .
I already have the frames as bmp files at 35% resolution... might have to grab the gimp and see what it can do. (never even thought of it... doh!)

# I've just resized it to
500px. Removed all redundant frames and pixels and reduced the colours to 100. It is still perfectly watchable. it ought to be. It's 5MB :/

'edit'


'edit the second'

most b3ta folk will know, but for those who don't, you can import quicktime vids to photoshop, optimise them there and get some decent results. : )

# I just re-installed 3ds max last week
but haven't had the time/patience to learn it. How long have you been using it for? Clearly a good amount of time for results as good as this!

# on and off for a few years
just for fun. do some architectural renders now and again for a local firm which just about keeps me in software updates. :)

# fantastic
I think I'm going to have to spend a few weekends getting to grips with it!

# Whenever I try that I just get blank frames
Any idea why?

# are you importing a quicktime movie or an avi/mpg?
I don't think photoshop likes anything aside from .mov files.

I opened up bobmitch's video in after effects, exported it as a .mov then opened it up in photoshop (open video file as layers), and selected every 8th frame, lowered image size/colours etc
(I helped save b3ta! McBadger COW, Tue 27 Jan 2009, 2:05, archived)
# Thanks! :D
That's gonna save me a hell of a lot of time. Until now I've captured individual frames using FX frame capture.
