[QUOTE=dgg;28582175]CS4 would work.
With youtube I just use FRAPS. Record the youtube video then throw the FRAPS file into Virtual Dub. Then I edit the video so I've only got the part I want. Sometimes I re-size it with Virtual Dub when cropping it with it, sometimes not.
Then I export the remains of the video as an image sequence (JPEG at 100 in quality).
Then open Adobe Bridge. Go to the folder the images have been exported to (needs to be in a folder of it's own, not together with other images). Use "Tools - Photoshop - "Load Files into Photoshop Layers..."
Wait for Photoshop to put in every image in it's own layer in the same document. Then in the animation tab, press the half-triangle up in the right corner and chose "Makes frames from layers". Wait for Photoshop to make every layer into a frame of it's own. Select all the frames and go to the triangle again and "Reverse frames" since itmakes the animation in reverse.
You can also export the sequence as a GIF with Virtualdub. But it looks bad and you have little control over quality and size. You can also export the full-size video as a GIF and then throw that into photoshop and re-size it from there making it an easy process when it comes to importing it to Photoshop, but you will have less detail to work with, but it can look acceptable. But there is no reason to do so as the result will all in all be worse.
It's also possible that you can't just drag the GIF over in Photoshop CS4. If you can't, go to "File - Import - Video Frames to Layers" type " * " in the filename area. This will ignore it displaying only valid fileformats. Chose the GIF and press enter.[/QUOTE]
It all looks so complicated and I need other programs :saddowns:

FRAPS has a free version, VirtualDub is free. Bridge comes with Photoshop.
It's not complicated really, and it only takes a few minutes. But there is a lot of things to do and think about that you'll learn fast and do fast.

Okay then.Thanks, I'll give it a try once I come home :smile:
I use FRAPS to record the YouTube video part that I want, then I just open the .avi in Animation Shop, an age old program by Jasc. It's lightweight, it does the job alright, and you don't have to dick around with VD + Photoshop.

Jasc.
Ughghg... Reminds me of the old days when I used Jasc Paint Shop Pro.
It does the job semi-alright. but not good.

Paint Shop Pro 9 was pretty decent for its time.
I think Animation Shop is pretty good, though. Lightweight and does the job well. For image editing, there's always Paint.NET.

I didn't. I fixed the contrast because the original looked bland.
But just to stop the whinging:

Alternative.
[QUOTE=SA Spyder;28603911]I didn't. I fixed the contrast because the original looked bland.[/QUOTE]
You did, because that's why it's darkened. Contrasts creates higher difference in highlights and shadows. A.k.a, dark things gets darker, bright things gets brigther. You really overdid it by a ton.

Stop bitching. I'm just trying to be helpful and supply avatars to people who ask for them. Last thing this thread needs is somebody nagging about all the submissions.

You're not supplying the product they asked for.
At least make a normal version and a version you liked instead of just giving them the version you liked. That way they can decide if they liked your over the one they asked for.

He said it looked like shit which is why I fixed the contrast. I normally never screw around with the balance of the picture, but him saying it looked like shit is why I did it.
Don't lecture me about giving stuff away for free. God, you're stuck up.

He said it looked like shit because it's compressed to hell and backwards. Look at those JPEG artifacts.
There are certain things in life people wouldn't even want for free, and there are certain things people would like to chose between.

You sound sensitive. And I don't see the reason in doing requests without following the requests or at least providing the original request next to your optional doings.
-snip- ah fuck this guy
[QUOTE=SA Spyder;28604943]You sound threatened. Otherwise you would have just posted your own version and let the guy take his pick. Either way I'm done arguing with you. What you gave me wasn't advice, it was complaining. It was more like an attack than anything.
Moving on...[/QUOTE]
No. I'm curious and trying to teach you how to do a proper request (not implying you can't actually do one), because you didn't really do one in this case. I complained because you didn't truly do what the purpose of the thread is making it pointless. Again it's Ok to make your own versions, but not without providing the requested version as well (unless someone has already made it).
I made the avatar for him to allow him to take his pick. This and that are two different things.

Bullshit. Bitching about a submission is not trying to teach me anything. It's simply bitching about a submission. Stop playing the teacher bullshit. It's a fucking avatar requests thread. Until the recipients themselves start complaining about the submissions, I really don't care what you have to say. All I know is that this thread was peaceful 2 hours ago and now it's not. All that's changed is that you came in here whining because I enhanced a picture and you don't like it.
Why are you really arguing about this shit? Why did you even start bitching in the first place? I have nothing to 'learn' from you except for how to troll.

The reason it's not peaceful is because you're reacting aggressively. I complained about the submission of yours and gave a reason for it. You could have just ignored me.
