Question about image sigs & resizing animated gifs

Morning FF'ers,

How do I resize an animated gif?

I have an animated gif avatar that I want to upload. However, its width is 110 pixels. I have tried editing it with Adobe photoshop and Imageready, and various free software downloads.

Nothing I've found yet can resize a animated gif without converting it to a single frame image.

Also, how do I upload an image for my signature?

Thanks,
Renoir

I do believe the only way is to make a new one, anyone else???

In Adobe ImageReady you can resize an animated Gif. (Talking like Yoda am I!)

Open the GIF. At the bottom of the window you should see the animation palette, which shows all the frames of the Gif. If not, use the menu to display the animation palette.

Click on the 1st frame at the left end of the palette. Shift-click on the last frame at the right end of the palette. This will select all the frames. Don't worry if the main editing window only shows the current frame.

From the Image menu, choose Resize image and enter the new size. When you're done, all the frames are resized simultaneously.

Save the animation with "Save Optimized" or "Save Optimized As..." It's not a bad idea to to use the 2nd option and change the name of the file. That way you can reload the original in case you bugger it up.

Good luck.

Thanks guys.

I couldn't resize before because I wasn't saving with "Save Optimized".

and that is the avatar you went through all the trouble for? haha!!
brilliant!

Thanks Dondi,

This avatar came from series of Japanese TV ads: http://fursuit.timduru.org/dirlist/FursuitVideo/Commercials_Ads/anabukin/

The raccoon is actually supposed to be a mythical raccoon type creature who uses his giant testicals as a weapon (In a 1994 DVD, the Tanuki used their stretched sacs as parachutes in kamikaze attacks.)

Lyrics to a common Japanese chi1dren's song about Tanuki:

Tan Tan Tanuki no kintama wa
Kaze mo nai no ni
Bura bura bura

Translation: "Tanuki's testicles swing back and forth even when there is no wind blowing."

For any body who does not have Adobe Photoshop . . .

I just resized my original gif with Saakie's suggested website. The resized gif seems to be identical in quality to the gif that was resized with Adobe's ImageReady (a bundled program with Photoshop).

For the GifWorks.com tool, you may need to disable your pop-up blocker because the resizing control works through a small pop-up screen.

NEW QUESTION:

Can someone tell me how to capture video caps from a QuickTime video?
