[Gimp-user] How to animate a transition effect?

2006-06-01 Thread saulgoode

Joe Smith,

I have written a few GAP tutorials which are in the wiki at  
http://www.brickfilms.com/wiki/index.php?title=GIMP_Tutorials


None of them specifically address your concerns but perhaps by going  
through them, you will gain a better understanding of the overall  
process (the Layer Masks - Clockwipe Transition is probably the  
closest to your actual application and the GIMP-GAP Overview might  
prove helpful if you are an absolute beginner).

[Gimp-user] How to animate a transition effect?

2006-05-31 Thread Joe Smith

Can I do this in Gimp:

I have a simple transition effect in mind for a presentation. There are 
four images, portraits of four different people. I'll be talking about 
each one in turn. I'd like to have a transition that starts with the 
four images in a line, then the one being discussed zooms larger and the 
others zoom smaller. Obviously, the final image of the transition has to 
freeze indefinitely--looping or going back to the start would not be 
helpful ;-)


Seems simple enough, I could do the end points with Gimp in 5', but to 
make all the intermediates to get a smooth transition is not happening. 
Besides, an animated GIF in OOo or PPT seems to simply loop, which is no 
good.


Any suggestions? Pointers to something helpful?

Joe

You need GAP, the GIMP Animation Package.

There's a tutorial that jimmac did at
http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Advanced_Animations/ - in particular, the
Move path tool is particularly useful for the scale  move type
operations you'd like to do.

Cheers,
Dave.

I'm no expert, but I managed to throw this together pretty quicky with
GAP (someone with more time and a better eye could probably do much better):
