Hiii I hope you're doing very well!

I have an extra account (tumblr temporarily suspended my account and thought it was hacked 🧍‍♀️) and I'm planning to make it as gif content account. Can you give me any advice and app / software / website recommendations before I fully make decision to do it?

Thank you and have a nice day / night ☺️

hi anon ! oh sucks that tumblr suspended your other acct T-T but :0 ! i can try and offer some tips ? if you'd like ^^ i'm not really an authority or anything but ;;;; ! i'll put it all under the cut if you'd like !

gif-making

for gifs i use vapoursynth and photoshop cc 2018 ,,, i'll tell you what i always tell people when they ask about gif-making and it's that there really isn't an app on your phone or a website that will easily allow you to make nice gifs for this platform... so if you intend to make a gifs blog for tumblr :0 you definitely have to invest the time, effort, and patience to learn how to make nice gifs,,, and if you don't think that's smth you want to do that's okay too ! for me and every content creator i've gotten around to talking to, it's definitely a long and tedious process ;;;; all your local content creators spend a lot of time and care doing what they do ,,, if you'd still like to try i'd recommend this tutorial ! it's the first one i used to get started and covers all the basics ! the rest is from trial and error or learning,,, like i said it requires a lot of patience to learn how to use the programs necessary for gif-making... my other suggestion is to find gifmakers with content you like and ask them questions about what they do and how they do it ! for me ik i used to bother a lot of my cc friends about how to do stuff ^^ it definitely helps to have people walk you through some of the stuff rather than bang your head on a wall trying to figure stuff out for yourself (like i used to haha) and the other thing if i may add, it may seem like a lot of work for gifs posted to this website,,, but it's also the reason a lot of ccs have really nice gifs ! because these programs have been tried and tested and made for gifmaking for this platform ! so if you'd still like to ! don't be afraid to ask anyone or me more questions :0 !! i have a few tutorials here and there too about coloring mostly ... but yea ^^

other advice

about tumblr as a platform itself... idk if you've really noticed but there are many advantages and disadvantages to creating for tumblr sadly... the community here is more contained and smaller which is good for avoiding certain fan community drama but also means you have to be aware of others in the same space as you :0 ! i read a text post a while ago about how tumblr interactions are mostly networking and it really is ! if you want people to interact and reblog your content you have to be proactive ! joining fan community networks or using open network tags (for example #tbzinc for the boyz) means greater exposure for your works ! i use tags religiously too which i think helps ;;;;; of course again i can't pretend to be a super big blog who knows a lot of people or has a big following ;;;; but i have noticed that my experience on this site is 100% made by the people i've interacted with here ! so it's the cc friends who will reblog your stuff with nice comments who make creating worth it on here i think ! as well as sharing moments that makes me happie ^^ etc. etc. so my advice for navigating tumblr is to just have fun with it ! be nice and reblog other cc's works and reach out be a little more outgoing towards others in your fan community (always be careful tho of course of who you're interacting with ! read carrds and info etc.) and should make your time on tumblr more fun haha :]]

i hope this was helpful anon ! sorry this is so long that's just my two cents :000 i've been on tumblr for a long time so ;;;; but welcome welcome if you do plan on joining the ccs and hope you have fun ^^
