Could somebody point me to a decent tutorial on how to make animated gifs in imageready?

I've made a basic bannen design, but I would like to add some animated text and just can't figure out how to do it in ImageReady. I make a frame and then select new frame and remove the text from frame 2, but is somehow also then removes the text from frame one.

Thanks.

Finally found the anwer with google :)

What you think of my first banner:

http://www.tldhost.net/banner.html

No more paying for banners for me. It's far more fun doing it yourself.

the site is not available

It's up again. Server went down :D

Ow joy, after it came back up the control panel software was foobarred, so now the entire server is in pieces that I can't pick up.

Looks like you'll have to wait until another day to see the banner.

apparently apache is function correctly.... :D

Not Found
The requested URL /banner.html was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Apache/1.3.29 Server at www.tldhost.net Port 80

You better can call it a notfound page for a banner it's realy big :confused: No it shows a 404 page Tazzman

Got DirectAdmin working again, now uploading all webpages again, so it should all be back up later today.

Anyway, here's the banner:

Nice job... Keep on improving and practice everyday whenever you have the time and in no time your will be an expert in web design. Good luck

Thats an Excellent Work.Nice colour combinations.Just try to keep your file size under 27 K.

My designing skills aren't half bad, it's just the first time I made an animated banner ;)

I just used to pay other people to do them because I couldn't be bothered to find out how to animate gifs. Next step is flash when I find the time.

I guess I can screw back the size to sub 27kb with a little optimizing. I just saved it all at highest quality.

P.S. Surprised you didn't notice Bannersmall, it was inspired by one of the banners in your own portifolio :

:D

Guess they all start to look the same after you've done the first few hundred.

hehe :) Don't tell this in public, everybody going to try to make their own banners and i am going to loose the business :):)

oh you got the idea from that banner? :) I think u did better than me.

I'll take that as a very big compliment :)

definitly, You have the Talent, good colour choices, all you have to is reduce the file size

When you Export from Image ready use this settings
File : gif
method : adaptive
colour : 32
lossy : 0

File size will be lower with those settings.

Thanks, using those settings knocked it down to 22 kb :)

nice banner work, but you ought to try it in flash

you'll get a really small size and a chance to fool around with some serious effects

maybe you switch to banners altogether, you never know :-)
