okay! this took a bit to type out, but here we are!

disclaimer: my way might not work for you and that’s okay! there’s no right or wrong to make gifs, so long as you enjoy the way you make them then that’s all that counts. this is only a detailed look into my own personal process and things i’ve learned along the way. i'm also an idiot who sometimes doesn't know what he's talking about, so if something doesn't make sense let me know so i can fix it!

but these are some of the things i'll be going into a little more detail than before:

tools

importing & converting to smart object

smart filters

coloring (lighting, basic, and gradient)

exporting

tools

there are a few things i use in the process, some new and some old. whether you want to use them is entirely optional, given that it can be a lot to take in at once.

photoshop 2024

if you use an older version of photoshop, then i think the layout is similar to newer versions. though iirc some older versions don’t have the timeline function so you might have to look that up yourself since i’m not familiar with any ps version without it.

handbrake

i only use handbrake if the recorded video is super long. usually i try to record each scenery shot (4-8 seconds at a time) or an entire cutscene so i don’t have to use handbrake to trim the video. if i do, then i have the settings set to export as super hq with 60 fps, deselecting align a/v start and passthru common metadata. the rest i leave alone.

vapoursynth

this is really useful and makes coloring easier imo. you can download it from the official site, but i found a portable version (i have the 200722 one) for windows here. i’m not sure how to set it up for mac users, and, truthfully, to this day i still don’t know how to use it entirely. i just followed a tutorial i i found on youtube and only changed the amount for the denoise filter and turned off the sharpen filter since i do that in photoshop itself. so it’s trial and error, and i’m erroring a lot sometimes ajdkjasvjdas. it’s also where i crop the video to my preferred dimensions, unless you choose to crop in ps.

jsfiddle code playground

if you want to have the text in the tumblr post be a gradient, then type whatever you want in the first box on the bottom right, change the color from red to your starting color of choice, then the same of the green for the ending color. hit run, copy the code, and paste it inside the text post while in html mode. ngl, i stared at the site for like ten minutes before i figured out how to use it asjdjasdasd

nvidia shadowplay

i use shadowplay since it comes with my laptop’s gpu, set to record in 1080p60. i’ve seen other giffers use obs for recording, but i don’t have any experience with it. there are scenepacks and gameplay walkthroughs on many sites, which you can use as long as you have the uploaders permission and credit them as they ask! please don't steal their videos!

reshade

i’ve started using reshade recently to tone out the blue tint of the game and sharpen it up a bit more. it makes a big difference and helps with coloring if you start out with near neutral colors. the effects i use are: • deband • clarity • sharpcontrast • emphasize • amd fidelityfx contrast adaptive sharpening • fxaa • prod_80_04_colorisolation • adaptivetonemapper i'm pretty sure some of these are redundant, but i’m too lazy to go back and see which ones i don’t need lol. but it’s all personally preference with how you want the game to look, and there are many effects to choose from.

importing & converting to smart object:

my preferred method is the video frames to layers, which is: file > import > video frames to layers, and then select the video. if you use vapoursynth, then there might be duplicates frames (or at least there are for me) so when the popup window appears i check the box to limit the frames to how ever many duplicates there are of each frame. usually in my case, it’s three.

after the video has been imported, i select all frames in the timeline and change the frame delay to either 0.03-0.04 depending on how fast or slow i want the gif to be. for converting to smart object, i recorded my own action set to save time by clicking on a couple of buttons, but the process is: select all layers currently > convert frame animation > convert to smart object.

let me know if you want the action set! it saves a lot of time in the process

smart filters

i don't think sharpening before or after coloring matters, but definitely do not sharpen before cropping if you haven't done already.

vapoursynth combined with the in game reshade sharpening effects doesn’t require as much sharpening as i normally use. just note that it varies from scene to scene, and whatever you're giffing. these are just the settings i used for the pirates’ cove set.:

smart sharpen #1: 500% with a radius of 0.2 px

smart sharpen #2: 10% and 10 px radius

gaussian blur: 0.7 px at 30% opacity

add noise: 1% uniform at 30% opacity

on to the coloring, which i'm breaking this up into three sections: lighting, basic coloring, and gradient coloring, with a brief description and the result after each section.

something to note is that all coloring is personal preference, and how you want your gifs to look. if you're just starting your giffing journey, here's a site i bookmarked that explains pretty well the adjustment layers and what they do if you have questions for how they work. but i'd be more than happy to answer any that you guys have!

lighting:

brightness/contrast:

with this, i’ve found that changing the blending mode to screen brightens it up well enough without having to move any on the sliders. if it’s too bright, then lowering the opacity should do the trick.

curves:

before, i used the white and black point with the eyedropper tool, but now i’ve started using the auto function that can be found in the four horizontal bars in the top right of the adjustment properties. i choose the find dark & light colors options and check the enhance brightness and contrast box. if it’s too bright or tinted too much one color, then i fiddle with the rgb curves individually to get it as neutral as i can.

levels:

with levels there’s not much to adjust other than moving the sliders for the shadows and midtones to give it a little more contrast.

basic coloring:

selective color #1:

for the first selective color set to absolute, i use it for the white/black colors to make them as white and black as possible. increasing the black can make it too dark, so i limit the increase by two or three. sometimes i change neutral if it needs it, after all the coloring is done if it still looks too much of one color that the other adjustment layers can’t fix. i don’t know exactly what the difference is between absolute and relative is, i just remember it being part of a tutorial i read and have been doing it ever since.

color balance:

i only change this as minimally as possible, usually one for cyan, one for magenta, and one for blue for all tones. sometimes i increase it more, but it all depends on how you want it.

selective color #2:

the last selective color i use it for all the other colors, set to relative, usually for reds, yellows, and blues. if there are people in the gif, then i focus mostly on skin tones, bringing out reds and yellows to make it look as natural as possible. a hue/saturation layer can be useful to even out darker skin tones by lowering the saturation for red or yellow. with scenery, i boost whatever dominate color pops up while lowering the other colors by adding in a lot of white if the lighting is bright, or adding black for dim scenes. again, if it needs it, adding in an optional hue/saturation layer, but this time to lower the saturation for less prominent colors.

gradient coloring:

if you’re satisfied with the coloring of your gif, then this step can be skipped!

i’ve recently fallen in love with using gradient fills. there are several preset gradients available, but if you search around online there are other gradients available to download and use. or you can make your own gradient of your colors of choice.

for me, i often use blue/pink or blue/purple gradient fills. the blue/pink preset is the one i used in this case.

gradient fill:

after adding the gradient fill and choosing the colors, i change the blending to soft light and lower the opacity anywhere from 30%-50%. with darker skin tones it might be tricky as it would involve more tweaking of the settings until it looks nice.

gradient map:

i follow it up with a gradient map to help with the sharpness (i think? i’ve forgotten exactly) set to soft light again with varying opacity given how dark the scene is.

vibrancy

this is completely optional here, but i like the colors cranked to the max, boosted to 80% or slightly lower. some minor adjustments might have to be made after this, usually with it being too red or possibly yellow.

exposure

the final adjustment layer to top it all off is exposure. i like my gifs to have a matte-ish look, so i change the offset anywhere from +0.0010 to +0.0030. if the gif is still a little on the dark side, increasing the exposure helps.

the gradient coloring takes the longest to get the colors to look good, but i love my colors so much and the end result is so worth it.

logo:

this is optional of course, but since there's quite a few people out there who love to steal gifs, it's probably a good idea to put your logo on the gif to help deter them. mine's simple and uses either the font code bold or moon. i have it saved as a png so that i can go to file > place embedded and resize it to my liking before moving it to the bottom right corner.

but for me those are too many steps to do for each gif, especially if i’ve been working on them for hours. so i open up an old psd with the same dimensions and duplicate the logo layer for each gif to save time.

exporting:

under file > save for web (legacy) the window for it should pop up. i don't usually mess around too much with the settings here, keeping it at selective diffusion and changing the matte to none.

sometimes the size will be too large for tumblr's limit since i like bright colors, and depending on how many frames are in each gif, most of them end up on the large side. i have to fight photoshop sometimes to make it work by either trimming a few frames or messing slighting with the lighting. occasionally i end up having to go back and reimport the videos to divide the frames equally if i don't want to trim any off. it’s a pain, and it’s something i should honestly try to plan out before that point lmao.

but if you're satisfied with how it looks, save, and you're good to post!

Politic Science Essay Example For Students

Politic Science Essay Thursday October 24 1929 is a Day that was later known as Black Thursday. Dark Thursday was the day a little accident happened at the New York stockexchange. Anyway Black Thursday Would end up being nothing thought about towhat anticipated America and its economy on the next Tuesday. America was aboutto enter her darkest days the Great Depression. Sena Peterson my greatgrandmother was only an eighteen-year-old youngster living on her dads cornfarm in Iowa. Far away from New York and the financial issues on Wall Street. All things considered, the downturn and the falling costs of her homesteads item wouldsoon influence her in intense manners the downturn would be a difficult time forAmericans. Monday October 28, 1929. Was an exceptionally dull and melancholy day. Thousands ofBlack Birds arrived on Wall Street. The thousand or more flying creatures started to eat up anything they could discover to eat. About portion of the feathered creatures never took flight again. A large number of the flying creatures kicked the bucket of weariness. This was a foreboding indication of the dull anddesperate times ahead. America was going to enter its most reduced and darkest pointin its short history. My distant grandmother lived on her homestead in Iowa negligent tothe certainty that her life would before long be changing in exceptional manners. She had know ideaof what was happening at Wall Street. She had no clue about that she was going to haveto move. Her family would before long need to start from the very beginning in another spot. TuesdayOctober 29, 1929. This dull day would before long be recognized as Black Tuesday. The day Americas economy would disintegrate. The day a few financial specialists lost everythingeven there will to live and leaped out the windows of elevated structures. Manypeople accept that the securities exchange crash was the reason for the downturn butthat isn't totally obvious. Despite the fact that the two occasions where firmly related. ByAmericans demeanor during the 1920s otherwise called the jazz age. Americansemphasis on having the freshest thing or being at the tallness of design was enoughto prop the economy up for a large portion of the 20s yet that would no last. Duringthe First World War my extraordinary stupendous moms extended to stay aware of the demandthe war made. To do this they got a credit from the bank to buy the needsupplies; machines and the land expected to grow. After the war finished the demandfor corn definitely dropped. Therefore, the homestead delivered an abundance productso the cost dropped. My extraordinary granddad presently had issues taking care of the tab andmaking closes meat yet he oversaw for some time. All things considered, the absence of moneywould before long incur significant damage. The issue with the manner in which America was going was thatincome was circulated unevenly and the segment heading off to the rich gotlarger and bigger as the 20s advanced. Partnerships began to make biggerand greater benefits yet the benefits were not given to the laborers. Inaddition, in 1926, The Revenue demonstration was passed and it cut assessments by 2/63 for thosewho made more than 1 million dollars per year. In light of these patterns in 1929, the top.1 percent of American families had an absolute pay equivalent to the base 42percent. That implied that the individuals who focused on the promotions couldntafford the new items they needed. This is when credit was created. Peopleliked the possibility that they didnt need to pay for the item yet they still gotto keep it and pay later. Credit possibly put of they day when customers accumulatedso much obligation that they couldnt purchase new items. My Great grandfatherhad attempted his best to make closes meat however he couldnt make a benefit. He couldno longer compensation back his advance to the bank so they abandoned his ranch. My greatgrandmothers family presently had no wellspring of salary and no where to live for themthis was the absolute bottom of the downturn and her life. Be that as it may, this whereabout deteriorate for the Peterson family. Since individuals could no longerafford to purchase things there was an over gracefully and no interest, so costs started tofall like a stone. So they economy became powerless in light of the fact that no one was bringing in cash. .u53c072887ed385938718a4722b8eb26c , .u53c072887ed385938718a4722b8eb26c .postImageUrl , .u53c072887ed385938718a4722b8eb26c .focused content zone { min-stature: 80px; position: relative; } .u53c072887ed385938718a4722b8eb26c , .u53c072887ed385938718a4722b8eb26c:hover , .u53c072887ed385938718a4722b8eb26c:visited , .u53c072887ed385938718a4722b8eb26c:active { border:0!important; } .u53c072887ed385938718a4722b8eb26c .clearfix:after { content: ; show: table; clear: both; } .u53c072887ed385938718a4722b8eb26c { show: square; change: foundation shading 250ms; webkit-progress: foundation shading 250ms; width: 100%; haziness: 1; change: mistiness 250ms; webkit-change: murkiness 250ms; foundation shading: #95A5A6; } .u53c072887ed385938718a4722b8eb26c:active , .u53c072887ed385938718a4722b8eb26c:hover { darkness: 1; change: obscurity 250ms; webkit-progress: darkness 250ms; foundation shading: #2C3E50; } .u53c072887ed385938718a4722b8eb26c .focused content region { width: 100%; position: relative; } .u53c072887ed385938718a4722b8eb26c .ctaText { outskirt base: 0 strong #fff; shading: #2980B9; text dimension: 16px; textual style weight: striking; edge: 0; cushioning: 0; text-improvement: underline; } .u53c072887ed385938718a4722b8eb26c .postTitle { shading: #FFFFFF; text dimension: 16px; text style weight: 600; edge: 0; cushioning: 0; width: 100%; } .u53c072887ed385938718a4722b8eb26c .ctaButton { foundation shading: #7F8C8D!important; shading: #2980B9; fringe: none; outskirt sweep: 3px; box-shadow: none; text dimension: 14px; textual style weight: intense; line-tallness: 26px; moz-fringe range: 3px; text-adjust: focus; text-beautification: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-tallness: 80px; foundation: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/modules/intelly-related-posts/resources/pictures/basic arrow.png)no-rehash; position: total; right: 0; top: 0; } .u53c072887ed385938718a4722b8eb26c:hover .ctaButton { foundation shading: #34495E!important; } .u53c072887ed385938718a4722b8eb26c .focused content { show: table; stature: 80px; cushioning left: 18px; top: 0; } .u53c072887ed385938718a4722b8eb26c-content { show: table-cell; edge: 0; cushioning: 0; cushioning right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-adjust: center; width: 100%; } .u53c072887ed385938718a4722b8eb26c:after { content: ; show: square; clear: both; } READ: Deaf Culture and Alcoholism EssayThis is when stocks started to crash and in the long run the entire market smashed. Things started to look a ton more terrible for the Petersons my distant grandmothersfather contracted tuberculoses. The entire Peterson family needed to move toColorado so he could get treatment. My distant grandma wound up working in aLevis manufacturing plant to help take care of clinical tabs just as her mom. Her brothersworked in different processing plants. These occasions all lead up to the depressionthe securities exchange crash was the straw that crushed the ponies spirit. After the crashfor the following three years things just deteriorated and more regrettable. Americans attitudeschanged from their upbeat gathering like perspectives to a thrashing and hopelessness. Stockprices kept on falling, by 1932 they where 20 percent what they where beforethe crash. With little interest numerous factories and plants shut. They plants thathere still open in 1932 delivered just half what they did in 1929. There was noend in sight America looked as though it where in a ceaseless descending winding. The Petersons kept on working in manufacturing plants to cover for the clinical tabs. Until her dad passed on. She kept on working in the processing plant yet some of herebrothers joined the Navy. She worked in the industrial facility until she got hitched in1932 and she began to do housekeeping to get by while her husbandworked for a synthetic organization called Dow Chemicals. From 1929 to 1932,unemployment went from 3.2 percent to 24.9 percent. This mean there where 15million jobless Americans. Individuals who had an occupation where procuring very littlemoney. My distant grandma spouse worked for the compound plant he didntmake enough to help his family wick included there two suns and doughtier. Buster and Glen where the names of there children. Buster was conceived in 1930, Glen wasborn in 1933, and their doughtier Janice was conceived in 1936. Numerous other familieswhere not as fortunate. As individuals lost their cash and their reserve funds, they could nolonger pay their advances and home loans. Banks started to abandon them they losteverything there houses what not. These jobless vagrants lived inshantytowns in houses produced using old containers. These towns would before long be calledHoovervilles on the grounds that Americans where harsh towards there president. The peopleof America where resentful about President Hoover since he would not offer guide to theunemployed Americans. The manner in which my Great Grandmother was living was a sharpcontrast to the manner in which it was only a couple of years. However it was as yet a tuff time theycould cover the tabs and she didnt need to accomplish difficult work in processing plants. They waythe government reacted to the downturn at first didn't assist with fixing theproblem. President Hoover demanded that flourishing would before long come back to America. Hoover was persuaded that all he expected to do was to reestablish peoplesconfidence with the goal that organizations would contribute and begin creation once more. Hebelieved this would make more occupations and give individuals salaries and restorethe economy. All things considered, entrepreneurs saw no motivation to increment productionbecause there racks where loaded with unsold things. By 1932, creation was lessthat what it had been in 1929. President Hoover additionally accepted that a balancedbudget was the way to reestablishing the economy. Hoover chose to cut governmentspending and increment charges. All Hoovers plan did was decreased interest to anall time low. In the long run Hoover give crisis credits to banks and industrialcompanies. President Hoover likewise extended open works and helped states offerrelief. In any case, his endeavors where short of what was needed. President Hoover was aself made man and as such he emphatically put stock in independence andself-dependence. An ever increasing number of Americans started to free their employments Hoover saidthat shared self improvement thr
