[TUTORIAL] How to make an Automatic Slideshow in your Posts


This short tutorial will show you how to make a Slideshow GIF (like the one above) of your images/paints, put them in your post, and save space (If you want a picture tutorial just tell me).


STEP 1
Go to gifmaker.me/

STEP 2
Click the ‘Upload Images’ button
(Do not worry about the canvas size slider shown on the right, your images will be full sized once your done)

STEP 3
On the right side you will see a preview of your slideshow; it will most likely be very fast. To fix this find the ‘Animation Speed’ slider. Instead of using the Slider just click inside the box where it says 500 milliseconds. Delete the 500 and put 4000.
(4000 = 4 seconds which isn’t too short or too long, but you can do more if you would like)

STEP 3
Scroll down to the button that says ‘Create GIF Animation’ and click it. Wait a few seconds and a lot of options should pop up below the button. Locate the option that says ‘Download GIF’ and save it somewhere on your PC.

STEP 4
Now all you have to do is use your image hosting service such as Flickr or lens-dump and upload the gif you saved (your paint slideshow).

STEP 4
To put the GIF image (your paint slideshow) into a post on here is the exact same process as putting a normal image on here. On Flickr you can use the bbcode share option, on other sites such as lens-dump you will need to click the image so it pops up; then right click it and press ‘copy link’.
(All you need is the link that ends in ‘.gif’ in the address bar).


I hope this text tutorial helped, if you need further assistance or would like me to incorporate image based instructions just ask :smiley:
