Two Set Problesm - Advice/Help Needed

Fri Jan 28, 2005 5:48 am

Okay I recentrly made a set and there is a problem with the av and a problem with the sig.

As you can see, the animation above isn't running smoothly around the ears. It was fine in Adobe Imageready but it won't run smoothly here.

On the right side there is a random white line. I am thinking it is part of the white matte that you need with a transparent gif, but I can't seem to find how to fix it or even where the problem is.


Any help with these problems would be greatly apreciated.

When you Save for Web, change the "matte" from whatever color it was (usually it's set at white) to none.

Awwwwww, the lupe is sooo cute! <3

You have a white line on your av because you didn't make that part transparent, I'm not sure how to explain it so I just fixed it for you:

Not sure about your animation problem though, I suck at that kind of stuff. :P

Thanks so much for the help guys. And thanks for just going and fixing it Darklegendry that was awesome of you.

Btw Kim, I tried that, but the edges looked like something had been nibling at the edges and they were all pixelated and all.

Now to figure out how to fix the animationg thing o_O .

well I know with my image program (GIMP) you can designate if the image "combines" or "replaces" when animating. If it combines, it is like putting another layer on top of the image with transparency, so some of the original image still shows through. When the images replace, it is more like a strip of film in a camera. Each image is complete so you look at one, then it is taken away, then you look at the next one, then it is taken away and so on.

Perhaps you image is combining instead of replacing so when the animation changes, where the ears were is still there.

Thats the kind of thing I thought! With my program (Animation Shop 3) at the beginning of creating an animation you get this option...

"When the image occupies only a part of the frame, how should the rest be filled?

With the canvas colour
With the preceding frame's contents"

Not sure if that helps or what program you've got - but you could look through the options you chose and see if you checked the wrong thing...

Well I am using Adobe Imageready, and I sorta just opened the saved file that I had been editing in Photoshop 7. Still confused as to why it is happening.
