User:Sakuranyature/Gimp vesion of Star's guide on how to make gifs

Oh hello there random person I don't care about, welcome to my (useless) guide on how to create gifs if you have gimp.

Things you will need

 * Gimp
 * XML file of the character you're making a gif of
 * The spritesheet (obviously)
 * ezgif (ezgif is an online website that allows you to make gifs.)

{| class="article-table mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="background: #3a2556; border:10px solid #6c4482;" !Collapsible cuz the part is too long lol

Step 1
Open the spritesheet on gimp.

Step2
Open the xml file and check on what animation you want to animate.

Step 3
Copy the width and height and create a new canvas.

Step 4
Create a new layer and get rid of the "Background" layer.

Step 5
Use the select tool to select the spritesheet image and copy and paste it to the other canvas. Make sure to align the frames properly otherwise it would look weird.



Step 6
Hide the other frames and export them as .png one by one.

Step 7
Go to ezgif and click on gif maker.

Step 8
Upload the frames.

Step 9
Put the delay time to 10 and click the check on dont stack frames.

Step 10
Click make a gif, wait for your finished gif to load, and right click to download it.

...And you're done! you succesfully made your own gif!
