[gunna get it]

to make effects on the Text, use add Banner Text. and go to effects. there are many options, check enter and leave. u can use drop in, fade in,fade out, Uhave to set frame control and legnth to your liking also. I used to use em but it adds too much weight to the avy the longer u stretch it thru out your avy.PS. Im not about to make screen caps like Paul did

good lookin out, but I was actually wondering about fading the entire picture to black. fading in and fading out, not the borders.
<< ===== like how my avy fadess into a different scene?
U have to go to video f/x, and u can do it by each frame

Im at work right now but i'll explain it better later.

edit: here's an example of how it fades in and out...

Yo, fading like this?

or

You'd have to go and mess around with the "Transparency" settings in "Object Properties". I'll go in detail later... but can'tright now because I'm at school. I faded my text and pictures, and to fade the whole avy you'd pretty much take the same steps.

Yo DUB, when you tell us how to do those effects, I'll edit my thread and add you to the tutorial. Anddon't worry, I'll give you credit for contributing to the thread

I soon will take over illmaticsoulchild reign as bet avy maker....

Okay here we go. This is a tutorial on how to do text effects like spinning, and enlarging.

1.) The first step is to make sure and copy your text at its full scale.

2.) Next, take your text and use the

tool to shrink it down to a very small size.

3.) In the top left of the screen you should see this tool

. Use it to rotate your text.

4.) Now go to the next frame, and paste your previously copied text. Repeat steps 1 & 2, but this time make your text slightly larger, and at a differentangle. Continue this process until your text is at full scale.

Your final product should look similar to this:

I tried my best, so hopefully I made sense.

I'm learning how to use it right now with web publishing. I didn't even think to use it for avys until I found out you did.

 

[lalakerfan213]

Thanks for the directions Paul.

For real. I was working on some flash animations a couple years ago, and suddenly, almost as an epiphany, I thought.. "wait a minute.. what if I madethe canvas 60x60?" The rest is what people would call, NT history.

I'm still trying to learn the "advanced" material (non-avy use), but it pushes me to learn code.. which I absolutely hate, but need to do thereally awesome looking stuff.

Anyways, I always assumed you used some Flash because the effect you make are "flash-like." Nice job on the tutorial.

 

[the hater boxden]

That's actually the same degree of difficulty (if not more) than making a simple avatar.

Just import a video into flash, export as a gif, re-import the gif (so that individual frames show up), delete frames, add a border, add text, add somemotion tweens, and viola! Okay, there's a little bit more to it, but not really anything as difficult as what you guys are doing now with ULead. Flashreally gives you unlimited flexibility and no limitations, but the actual application isn't difficult.

And once I get my Mac Pro, I'll put together a simple tutorial for the few that want it. But really, after messing with flash for a week, you shouldhave a good idea how to apply it to avatars.

 

[the hater boxden]

ima try and get a border like this

 

[lalakerfan213]

Its gives me a headache and its annoying

 

[jblackcat13]

Flash is confusing.

I hate coding too... I took a year long Computer Science class last year, and Ihated it. Good thing the guy who sat by me knew what the hell he was doing.

I'm definitely gonna start using Flash now. Vector Graphics ftw.
