hiiii would u mind sharing how did you blur the text in the first gif of this set? post / 713070245612535808/they-high-key-want-to-do-this-challenge-lol . i mean how do you get the blur to move along with the text? thank uuu<33
yes! omg I'm so sorry I'm so late but I finally found the post that explains it, so please check out this ask and tutorial from my girl (s/o to annie imy bb)!
for specifics of text that moves around that needs blurring I'll explain it a bit more in detail below ~
for gifs that involve moving text like this:
you have to essentially manually blur out the text one frame at a time which is extremely time consuming so I do recommend to only do this if necessary or if the text moves around, making a still blur impossible (I always try to crop around texts like this as much as possible).
I'll do a quick demo:
following tutorial above, once you converted to timeline, you would select the layer you would want to blur and then blur the selected area (in this case layer 6, which is the beginning of the timeline)
and then it would look like this
to blur the next spot, you would move the timeline to the next frame on the timeline (in this case, layer 7), and repeat!
***make sure the timeline and layer are on the same frame to help you keep track because it can get confusing depending on the amount of frames you're trying to blur ~
How to use actions on gifs?(photoshop). I've tried but it says that "frame 1... isn't available" other frames too
i had to ask @jeons-guk about this bc i don’t use actions so i really had no idea… i’m just gonna copy&paste what she said:
“i haven’t used actions myself, but the reason that happens is they need to flatten their frames into layers. the action is basically applying the filters according to the name of the layer, so if you have your normal gif frames after import video frames into layer, they will be named “Layer 1” “Layer 2” etc so flattening the frames will make layers named “Frame 1” “frame 2” “
For the rogue one edit, How did you cut out the charecters (such as jyn) without messing up the hair? How did you get the background to look smooth like that? And what are those spots or specks that you use?
I used the refine selection tool (here’s a tutorial), the background is just a colour fill layer, and the spots were made with this brush.
diff anon but how do you dl files from the kiwi site? im so confused ;-; it wont let me dl it to my desktop
No worries I’ll lead you step by step of how downloading on kiwi works
(a little bit of a lengthy post so putting it in read more)
1. click on the top right icon (as circled)
2. there’s a pop up that just basically asks you to make sure you have sufficient room to download the files (in this case 2.7gb) you press ‘ok’ to continue
3. then you should see 2 buttons appear on the top right which basically means start and end as seen below
this is what should happen once you press ‘ok’ (all files selected)
4. select the files you want to download (as it automatically selects all of them) then press start and a pop up will appear to ask you where you should save your files, press ‘ok’ to pick a location for your files to be downloaded
5. once you selected a place there will be popups mentioning kiwi opening your folder to view files, click ‘view files’ and then click ‘save changes’ for the next popup
6. your folder name of where you’re downloading it will appear in a highlighted tab as seen below and the download(s) should start
7. for future files on kiwi it may ask you if you want to save in the same folder as your previous download, just click ‘cancel’ and you’ll be able to pick a new folder for your download (or press ‘ok’ if you want it to be the same)
hope this helps!
precaution: these links expire in < 24 hours so do download them ASAP when they get posted
Can I ask what your gif settings are when you export? They look so nice!
Yeah sure! These were the settings I used for my most recent gifset! I have an older ask you can refer to since I sometimes do adjust my settings depending on gifset and a resource page for save settings for gifs ^^ hope this helps!
