Storm_Knight1[TK] Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 (edited) Greetings all, I need your help! Now that I've got two costumes (my Vader :vader1: and my TK ), wanted to check and see if anyone knows how to create those super-cool animated signature banners that fade in/out both pictures and text? I'm basically trying to modify (or re-do, if necessary) my existing banner that shows only my Vader (see below) so that it'll fade into the corresponding pictures and info about my TK. Here's the signature banner as it is now: Ideally, I'd like the modify the file (or create a new one, if necessary) so that it'll simultaneously: 1) Fade out from the Vader pic into one of my Stormtrooper (attached below) 2) Fade out from the "SL" designation into a "TK" designation 3) Fade out from the "Darth_Knight1" (my default legion moniker) into the name "Storm_Knight1" (my FISD screen name) 4) Fade out from the round Sith Lord Detachment logo into the FISD detachment logo (also attached below) I'm sure this is probably easy to do for those familiar with the Adobe Creative Suite programs (e.g., Photoshop, Flash, Illustrator), but since I'm pretty Adobe illiterate, figured it'd be best just to ask for some help/guidance from any of the creative folks in the detachment. Open to any and all help, suggestions, etc., and thanks in advance for the assistance! UPDATE: For anyone that would like to throw one together, here are the higher quality versions (e.g., not just thumbnails) of the source pics. Feel free to crop, chop or edit as needed...

TK bondservnt[501st] Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 do you have the screen name graphic logo? if you have all the individual elements it should be just a situation of masking out and replacing each detail on an individual frame. then when you have the 2 frames, it's easy to to a blend transformation and go back and forth.

Tray[TK] Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 what you seek is an animated GIF. Easy to do. I can work on it tonight if no one has already taken care of it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slave1pilot Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 (edited) Why don't you just ask Mark to make you an animated one? He made the first one, right? Mark made mine too, I just can't figure out how to attach it to this forum LOL Edited July 10, 2010 by slave1pilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark made mine too, I just can't figure out how to attach it to this forum LOL It would certainly be better if Mark could do it. Here is what I did. Probably not as good as he would as this is more his design and he knows what he did with all the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
