RichieScott1 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Try using Virtualdub to reduce the size of the video to just the portion you want in your sig. Then, I would recommend using Jasc Animation Shop 3 to add the video to your sig. Find out how many frames your video segment is and make that many frames in AS. All of the backgrounds of those frames will be your sig. Then, drag and drop your video file into the first frame of your animation. AS will do the rest. Then, save your file as a gif. Ta-da! A sig with video! If that is too confusing for you, PM me and I will help you some more.

Wachu Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 its better this way.. need Macromedia Flash Photoshop + Image ready Import da video in flash , delete some frames and resize it then export its in a folder as a gif (youll got the frames no the gif) Design yor sig in ps.. leave a rectangle or a space for the video then click the button for open the sig in image ready in image ready go to file->Import->Folder as frames and drag and drop the gif in the sig and reorder layers and frames.. then optimized it viewing kb and quality..and go to file->save optimized as and you go it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisiblekiller Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Get GIF Movie Gear and Camtasia Studio. Record the vid n Camtasia and open in Movie Gear. Open u're sig and press file>blend animation with and put thevid where u want.
