I was working on one for MetalliCamaroRs and me and my ***** like mind though I would make a thread of it. DIRTY! Anywayz post a vid clip of your car and I'll shrink it and turn it into a .gif sound good? Well post'em!



>this is about half done. I need to get rid of that white spot or just put some words there.

 

I think something is wrong with the format of that pic... I know its only 45KB but it makes my computer drag ***...

 

Wait, its not the avatar pic, its your sig pic. its 400KB! Dude some of us aint on high speed internet, and some of us have slow computers....

 

Yeah I'v been meaning to lower the quality on that. Give me a second.

 

Can you make a one from a section of my vid?
here is the link, http://www.transamws6.com/video/ZepherWS6.mpg

I just want the part where I am doing a standing burnout at the end of the vid.

Maybe if you can get it to do a seamless loop.

thanks

 

You know the Dell 1gighertz are 500.00 bucks? Come one change with the times

 

Do you realize some of us are poor college kids.

 

Yeah thats where all those car parts came from right? hehe.....New car huh? Well do what I do. Finance a computer and dont pay for it. Yeah yeah... its going to get me in the end but.... well **** I need a new job.

 

Finally a reqest!

<img src=http://www.metalcorex.com/avatar/HQ-avatar.gif>

>its too big to upload so I'll host it for now. BTW my host is case sensitive

 

hey thats really cool. i like that

 

you hit the curb burnout out!

 

it looks like part of the driveway and not the curb. If you watch the video you can tell.

 

Thanks dude,
it's too large to use as an avatar on here though.
Can you make it smaller, file size wise?
Just have me burning the tires sitting still and have that loop, should be a much smaller file size.

And yes, that is part of the driveway I touched, not a curb.

 

Well the problem is if I shrink the size down so that it fits it turns black and white. You can just copy the location and past it in the edit options when you go to change the avatar. Unless black and white is good for you?

>Wait you have a web site there. Why dont you upload it to your web site, copy the location and paste it in the edit user options here?

 

It says that it is too large, even when I past the location.

What I meant about making it smaller, was to make the video shorter, just the clip of me burning the tires.

 

Like this?

 

Oh ok.

 

ya, that is pretty much what I wanted. I guess there isn't enough of me sitting still to get a decent loop of burning out in one place, is there.

EDIT: I guess the file is still too large, says it needs to be less than 20kb. It is now at 30.7kb.

 

Ok you just want it to sit there and burn constant smoke right? Or I could have it smoke of the whole pic then start again.

 

 

ya, just sit there and burn, and loop it. that would be perfect.

 

I'll see what I can do when I get home but I just though of a kick *** idea for a animated gif. Animated ghost flames! Now you can see it move without taking drugs!!! Cool..heh heh.. it moving he he he.....

 

cut that white bar off.....

 

Try mine??

you are friggin nuts zepher, what kinda non-wear-downable tires do you have. i looked at the gif, went out for almost a hour and came back and you were still there burnin. thats not to good on the car. j/k. i'll try to get my "VHS" video on here someday i could have my car doing constant dounuts forever... not that there's any of that in the video hehehe:lala:

 

i dont have a video yet BUT i do have a pic i would like to see small. i dont know for sure if i would use it or not(i really love the WTF). think you can do it.

 

Brody,

I just came across this post, is this something like you want?

 

yeah, thanks

 

Heh, I already got one, woo hoo.

 

Cool but you might want to turn up brightness.

 

test sig

 

hey redbird how exactly are you making these? what program and stuff? I have some video but I don't wanna bug ya w/ it, so if it is something I could do myself I would to save ya time. thanks

Josh

 

Well I use 2 or 3 different programs to do this. The first one is File player made by raidon or something. I'm not sure cause I'm not at home but the software came with a tv tuner I bought at best buy for 30bucks. This allows you to open the .mpeg or any other movie files. Once open I have this little capture button that saves one image at a time while playing the movie. I'll click this about 30 times while playing the video so that I have 30 pictures of the the video in numbered order.

>Now I can use a program called Flash Version 5 from www.macromedia.com. This program will alow you to import all 30 picuters into 30 different frames. Each of the 30 frames I will shrink down to 64X64 then click save, save as animated .gif After that I come here and click browse and load up the .gif and there is your animated avatar.


Now my avatar, not real (as if yo couldnt tell) Was used with all 3 programs. I just used photochop to cut out a pic of my interior with out a windshield. I pasted this on top of each frame that came from a vid tape of a car going down the strip. Then did the deal with flash player and came out with a new avatar.

>these programs are cool
>photochop from www.adobe.com
>flash from www.macromedia.com
>buy a TV tuner and your pc will never be the same
its only 30 bucks! come on!

Man that one is phatt!

 

Not to turn into a geek spewing technobabble, but that's the driving force behind Microsoft's new product, "dot NET" or .NET ... they're going on the assumption that bandwidth has become "free", with everyone having high-speed access and large fileservers. By "free", they mean low cost not by $$, but by time delays and server resources and hard drive space. So just something to keep in mind if you're still on dialup... more and more things are going to rely on the "low cost of the internet today", and that requires higher speed connections. Hell it's part of the reason our 2-year-old computers are so slow- we bought 'em in 1998, but we're trying to run applications designed in 2002. Remember how your brand new computer was super-fast, and now it pokes along? Uninstall everything developed after 1998, put ONLY 1998-era software on that computer, and it'll be fast again... useless, but fast.

Oh and those were bitchin' looking pictures, though!
