Photoshop is actually preferred.

GIMP is for those who don't have money to buy PS... LOL

Jason, PE is for video editing... Have fun with that. And Sharky, whats the file type?

Okay, I made a slideshow type thing with Photoshop, but when I tried to upload it it said file invalid or something like that. It was a Windows Media Audio/Video file. Do I need to change that, and if so, how can I? By the way thanks for the help.

You can use Photoshop Elements. Not Premiere Elements.

Animated? Needs to be saved as a .GIF

Captain Jason · #20 02-01-2011, 06:57 AM

I tried changing it, but the only save option is WMF. What should I do?

muffin pirate · #21 02-02-2011, 05:01 PM

At the end of the file name, just manually type .GIF

And what did you use to make it? Premiere Elements or Photoshop?

Captain Jason · #22 02-03-2011, 01:03 AM

Photoshop like you said. When I try to type on it nothing happens. Do I need to change my settings or something?

Can I get a screenshot maybe? Your case is very odd...

Captain Jason · #24 02-03-2011, 02:23 AM

Heres a picture, hope it helps. I know it's really small but I'm not sure how to make it bigger. (I accidently highlighted the wrong thing so don't pay any attention to it.)

Well, I actually got my Photoshop thing to work, so everything is good now

And you tried to save this POTCO Avatar as a .GIF in Photoshop?

Captain Jason · #27 02-04-2011, 02:27 AM

Yes, but when I tried the only option to save it as was WMV. I'll try again differently and see if it works.

EDIT: Tried it again, it didn't work that way either.

muffin pirate · #28 02-04-2011, 04:34 PM

How odd... Can't help ya anymore Jason. Its turning into one of those things where you have to be there... Sorry.

Gimp is easy (Allot of people use it and its free. I really like it)
If you want text animated: Make the text and size of your thing. Next. Go to
File>Save as. Save it as gif. And don't flatten Merge. Click- Save as animation.
Don't greyscale. Click save, It will take you a place, Just click save (Or do a comment) Then your done.
