This works in CS2, CS3, & CS4. Someone sent me these instructions

Okay, well I believe on CS3 (I only have CS2 so bear with me) you can open videos up directly in photoshop so long as they're in quicktime format. If they're not, you can convert them to .mov using the youtube downloader (http://youtubedownload.altervista.org/). Once they're in that format just open the movie that way you would any other .psd. It should show you a control screen asking how you'd like to cap the movie, along with a mini movie player. Drag the movie player to where you want it to start taking caps, press shift, then drag it to where you want it to stop and click again. Make sure you check the option that says take every 2nd screen cap because otherwise you're going to end up with like +1200 shots.

Once you click okay a new document will open where each layer is a different screen shot. Using the animation toolbar (window > animation if it's not already open) just delete the screen caps you don't want, crop or resize the image as necessary, and click play. If you're just making .gifs for on here and size isn't a factor then there isn't a whole lot more you need to do. If you're trying to make animated icons and need to get below 40K you'll have to do some major optimizing and trimming, which is better explained in this tutorial here: (http://community.livejournal.com/tothemusicstore/9404.html).

Yes I'm spending a lot of money. It is part of my tax return and honestly, I've never built one for myself before so I'm taking full advantage that I am going to run this thing into the ground. I just wanted something that would run the sims and fucking laugh about how easy it was to do it.

I'm an idiot and had an assignment due last night and didn't realize it. So now I can't turn it in at all because the woman is a hag. le sigh. So for the rest of this class I'm going to be an angel and turn in everything on time and be awesome. I also made a zip file of all of these so you don't have to right click save everything. Just let me know and I'll upload it.




The rest after the cut.

Ugh my last 24 hours have been so shitty.

My dad is in the hospital and they think it's his thyroid.

I slept so shitty last night and tonight doesn't look any better :(

ok so I generally love the love secret days. But tonight I have been having a very shitty evening and found out that some of them got posted early. I went there to see the following:

I went to rent a free video and ended up paying. go figure. On my way to get chinese. WHen I order, they know its me. :) eatIng chinese anywhere else in town feels like cheating.

updating from my phone. sorry if there are typos.

So we had a hellacious storm today and lost power. But I am on the internet on a generator, because I missed twatlight sfm.

*waves* I have a slight addiction. I hadn't been by there since Friday and I was starting to itch.

Also, the payment for my twatlight shirts has been processed ^_^ I can't wait to get them!!

I ordered a purple "As if you could outrun us...", a yellow Sullen Cullen, and a black "Bleeds glitter". I'm stoked.


I'm going to watch the lightning some more, then maybe a movie.

I hope to have some worthwhile posts here eventually. Just need to think of something to write about.
