Foreword

Hello everyone, I was the last article on how to make a hatchet with a head map.

The above article recommended a few good methods for making head images to those who do not understand the design software. Interested children's shoes can be poked in to see ~ At the time the text mentioned motion picture production. It looks like many friends are interested, now The author will come to fill the pit.

The production of the GIF animation will be divided into two parts. The first part is the mobile phone App production, and the second part is the computer software production. Considering that many value-friends don't usually touch professional design software (such as PS, AE, etc.), I completely avoided them and introduced the more friendly production software in one step. (If someone wants to see a PS-like method or a GIF library, I can also extend this series...)

Highlight: Apple saves GIFs to local albums, starting with iOS11. Therefore, the old version of the friend, the motion picture saved to the local photo album will not move, you can export to other apps in the export of the video, such as sharing WeChat, email and so on.

Highlight: Space is longer, you can first collect it.


Directory and summary

The rush of time is worth watching on demand.


About GIFs

GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is an image file format that can store multiple color images and can be animated. A photo is an image. A motion picture or video is composed of multiple images.

下面 The following flip-page comic book is composed of many pages of pictures. Due to the persistence of human eyes, we feel that the picture has moved.

The maximum number of pictures sent by Zhang Da Ma is 8M, and in order to allow the readers to load some of the traffic more smoothly, we have to compress the GIF with a lot of content. Generally in the App, we can change the file size by changing the following dimensions of the animation.

1, the frame rate

The frame rate represents the number of frames displayed per second, and is expressed in terms of fps. It is popular to say how many pictures are in one second. TVs and movies that are usually seen usually have a frame rate of 24 to 30 frames per second, that is, there are twenty or thirty pictures in a second, so that we can see very smooth movements. When playing a glorious card slide show, the frame rate is too low.

So if you want to move smoothly, you have to choose a higher number of frames, which will make the file larger. To make the file smaller, select a lower number of frames, such as 8 frames per second.

2, size

The larger the size, the larger the file. Many people think that the large size can make the moving picture look clearer, but like the text published by Zhang Damo, readers use mobile phones to watch, and the picture width of 640px looks very clear and beautiful~ (The author sometimes does 300px or even less. The width does not really affect the look and feel

3, quality

We understand the clarity! The more ambiguous it is, the less color information it contains and the less information it has.

Do not talk about nonsense, let's go directly to the introduction


I. GIF Lab

First of all recommend this simple to explosion app, in addition to photos or videos converted to GIF no other features. However, the basic settings for GIF are perfect. You can see in the App Store search [Gif Lab], without having to enter such a complicated name in the picture.

初 The first time you enter is an interface that you won't even see. After that, you will see the GIF you created. Click [+] to start production and support video or photo production. Because the steps for making photos or videos are the same, Chestnut chooses to crop the video source, select the time you want, and click [done].

导入 After importing, you can see the video is split into a picture, click [Setting] to set.

进行 Use your humble English level to interpret the settings.

Usually use its default value for ok, for the second frame delay [Frame Delay], you need to adjust the value and then preview to see if the movement of the moving picture is smooth. The larger the value, the slower the action, and the smaller the value, the faster the action.

调整 After adjusting, click [save] is stored in the app, click the button in the lower left corner is saved to the local album.


Second, GIFToaster

GIFToaster is very versatile, many good features to upgrade to the professional version to use, such as 30 frames per second, 2 times faster, output large size, unlimited number of albums. But the regular version is already very good, and there is no watermark!

First understand the basic functions, [Preview] preview effect, [Range] adjust the time range, [FPS] is the frame rate, [1.0x] represents the double speed, [Direction] adjust the playback direction, you can set the forward play reverse play, [Filter] is a filter, [Banner] can add text or textures, [Crop] for screen cropping, [CW] for rotation, [H.FLIP] for horizontal flip, and [F.FLIP] for vertical flip.

⬇️ Supports many formats of conversion, we choose a video to convert to GIF.

调整 Adjust the time range and frame rate. The frame rate of 20fps will be relatively smooth, and generally 8-10 frames do not affect the look and feel. However, 30fps requires a professional version to use.

调整 Adjust the speed and filter. Can easily slow down or speed up, 2x speed requires Professional Edition to use. The author feels that its filter function looks better than other software.

⬇️ Add text and cropping screens. Text can set the font, position, font size, color, transparency, stroke and stroke thickness and color, can be said to be very rich.

æ°´å¹³ Flip horizontally and vertically. Easily create mirrored animations.

导出 After exporting the GIF, you find that there are many sizes to choose from, but the Professional version can output larger sizes. The regular version will use the small size, export and save it to the album.

Converting photographs to GIFs is also very common, and many of the big guys' open charts are moving pictures of the process of placing a product out of a box. Or show the three dimensions of a product.

⬇️ chestnuts.

⬇️ Select the desired photo. The same panel that video is converted to GIF can perform many operations. The process no longer speaks


Third, GifsArt

In addition to PicsArt's production of GIFs, it also features a GIF library with search capabilities! Full of expression bags! The watermark in the lower right corner will be watermarked, but it will be covered by the aunt's watermark when it is published. But why don't you give us the opportunity to buy a professional version?

GI GIPHY is a very famous large-scale drawing station, but we can find that Giphy is built in the directory where photos are selected! Search casually for interesting motion pictures.

⬇️ Is it cute?

Cough, returning to the game, talk about this app's motion picture production.

⬇️ The interface is very clean. Click [Create] to start production. You can see that GiftsArt provides camera functions that can be shot now. Set the number of frames in the upper left corner and the canvas ratio in the upper right corner.

⬇️ Select a video to convert, click [+] to add other videos for stitching. The following function areas are: [Fit] adjust the screen size, [Effect] is a filter, [Stickers] is a sticker, [Masks] is a lot of qi effects such as snow, [Text] to add text.

⬇️ The method of selecting pictures for conversion is generally the same. Select multiple pictures and pull the slider to adjust the interval between each picture.

滤 Filters and mask effects. This puts very hot eyes, but it should also have a good use!

è´´ Texture function. You can adjust the overlay and transparency, and you may be able to make double exposures.

⬇️ Add text. Font size and color can be adjusted. After all the processing, click [done] to output ~ In addition to saving to the album, but also support some other App, but probably not everyone commonly used software.

硬 One flaw is that the exported file is relatively large. Make it up to hold the length of time, otherwise the mother does not give access.


IV. ImgPlay

The same is more useful, very useful App ~ Although the free version has a watermark, but the author's favorite point is that it can be output to the WeChat, we can use this to get less than 5M or even less than 250kb motion picture.

⬇️ You can purchase Professional Edition, remove watermarks and ads, and have more filters in the settings interface. The frame rate is also selected in advance in the settings.

⬇️ It is convenient to select a video and cut it through the slides.

Click Next, as you can see from the bottom of the function bar, you can play back and forward adjustments, add text, filters, crop screens, and rotate.

调整 Adjust the playback speed and trim the picture.

⬇️ It's probably faster to be a ghost animal.

文字 Add text layer, very many English fonts, you can adjust the font size, color, stroke, alignment.

⬇️ You can see that there is also a time track above the display font layer, adjust the start time of the font layer, freely define the scope of the font display ~ do not have to appear in the screen from beginning to end ~

没有 The dimensions are not clearly marked when exporting. The cycle mode is optional, and we generally choose the [Permanent] cycle.

⬇️ But there is no big difference between viewing HD and low clarity after exporting! A 6M 5M is very big!

⬇️ So, when you select the WeChat icon when exporting, you can save the 5M or even 250kb motion picture to your local album.

方法 The method of converting multiple photos into GIFs is similar to other software, and it is not described in detail.


V. GIPHY CAM

Written to the back of the app that can be found in the Android market, I have not found the above five, may be the channel did not find right ... ...

This is a very appalling app~! But without touching its stickers and filters, you can make a very clean GIF. It's not the same style with stickers and filters. However, this software does not support multiple photo production GIFs.

⬇️ Support for shooting now. Click on the small left icon in the middle of the film to select album content.

进度 The progress bar can select the time range, click the small arrow on the right to enter the next step - the stickers and filter options for the qi.

贴纸 Stickers, filters, masks, ah... Double-click on the sticker to flip him horizontally.

边框 Borders, ah, text... You can save GIFs after you have chosen them!


Six, GIF master

Although this software was also found on the App Store, it is too rubbish, and the Android version is not too bad. The interface is cute and clean with MBE.

⬇️ Supports the following operations on the home page. In the settings you can make some basic settings for the time, frame rate, and resolution for recording.

⬇️ Select Video to GIF. The desired video range can be selected via the time axis and can be slowed down or speeded up in the speed setting.

裁 Crop screen and add text features. Text can be set for the period of time, but it is necessary to enter the numbers manually, but it is inconvenient and accurate at the same time.

清晰度 Sharpness, resolution, and fluency can be selected for output. In the final setting it will not be a good preview.

⬇️ Photographing GIFs is very similar to the above software. Another point is that you can create GIFs in the software recording screen.


List of drawings

The above GIFs made by the App are placed on the last sink of the total ~ author to try to close the picture size, hoping to get a picture quality, file size comparison. For everyone's convenience, the 320px was chosen as the benchmark. We don't know if the valued friends have their own choices after reading.

⬇️ 1.GIF Lab(322x182px,647KB)

⬇️ 2. GIFToaster (320x180px, 1MB)

⬇️ 3.GifsArt (500x282px, 2.1MB)

⬇️ 4.ImgPlay(320x180px,791KB)

⬇️ 5.GIPHY CAM (320x320px, 2.1MB)

⬇️ 6. GIF Master (322x182px, 647KB)


postscript

The author usually uses a computer to create a GIF, which is more operable and hardly ever used a mobile app. So these days in the application market ripping to find, try a lot of App, select the relative favorite of the six, there will certainly be a lot of omissions of a good App, there are many at first glance seems ugly refused to download, hope you understand or It is added in the comment area~

However, in the course of the experiment, it was found that the mobile app was really easy to make animations, and I can use it later.

At the same time, some points were found during the search process. For example, [B612] this powerful camera app is to support the recording of video saved as GIF, you can try fairies. For example, [GIFMOV] is also very useful, but the exported GIF can only be played once. It can't be played for a long time. Friends who don't mind can try it.

Above, thank you for seeing the last. The next article describes how computer software creates GIFs. I hope you will also look at them.
