Sigs

I just wanted to say yours sigs are awesome.Some of the nicest ones ive seen yet.My question is would you be willing to share the names of some of the software used to create them? Like for example....

BF2 Footage - Fraps?
Photoshop?
How do you convert vid to gif and embed it into your sig pic...Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

thanx 4 your comments on the sigs m8 ...i have replyed to your private message
if you need any more help either post back on here or contact at <!-- e --><a href="mailto:f_c_uk_u@hotmail.com]f_c_uk_u@hotmail.com[/url]<!-- e -->
or even better get on vent and i can talk you thought it ...but you will probly work it out anyway

U m8 I might have to catch you and ask you that myself If I had to hazard a guess I'd say you combined the movie with the sig pic in Flash then exported to animated GIF, but as theres more ways of doing it than I can count I could well be wrong

Im having a real hard time keeping the file size down and still having good quality...are there some settings im missing in that program U?
Im importing vid right from fraps folder...Any help on setting / size would be greatly appreciated!!
The vid quality in the sig above and yours is just awesome compared to what i get...lol.

ok with fraps im doing 20 fps and full size 1024 x 768 then resize it to 110 x 83 in gif movie gear.....got to edit select all then Frame/ resize........type in the size you want and all frames will resize to what you have put in and there is a site that you can download movies
called <!-- w --> www.GameTrailers.com <!-- w --> but you have to convert then to giff and resize them aswell
you have to save quick time and edit in adobe image ready and save as giff then use giff movie gear
hope this helped


p.s.... also try to copy movie's of the game trailer at the start of the game..not in game ..before your game starts up there a little movie ..see if thats any better .......also in giff movie gear make sure when your sig is fully made and the movie is in place ..go to top/optimize animation........but dont use reduce colors this will make it look shite

ok i'll do this in english from start to finnish.................
MAKING SIG BACKGROUND
1. open adobe photo shop bring in you picture cut resize i use 450 x 120 layer it and add your name bevell emboss or what ever you want to do with it and save to web as giff
2. if you want a frame round your movie open new transparent 110x 83 or movie size
add layer and draw your frame round the outside and emboss if you want and save to web as giff
MAKING MOVIE
1. open fraps and select 1024 x 768 20fps
2. open game and if there is a good trailer before the game starts take footage of that
if not go to <!-- w --> www.GameTrailers.com <!-- w --> you will find a movie of the game you want on there..but make sure you dl it in quicktime format ...but must be edited in adobe image ready and save as giff
3. open giff movie gear / open file..your movie..all frames will load..got to top/edit then select all.......go to top/frame then resize...110x83.all frames will resize to 110 x 83........
then go to top/Optimize animation make sure your movie is on 0 and not 1 in the timeing 0=loop 1= just plat the 1 time and job done save as giff animation

PUTTING IT TOGETHER
