^^
And there you go.....
Now I will do the animation tutorial.
ANIMATED GIF TUTORIAL:
I will say how to take screenshots at the bottom if you don't know.
1. Make a folder that says animated gifs and another one that says done.
2. Find a video that has the specific scene that you want to make into an animated gif.
*** Search in google if you don't know where to find the video.
3. Take screenshots of the scene in the video that you want your animated gif to have.
*** You have to take at least 3 screenshots every second or else the gif will turn out weird.
*** Most likely the number of screenshots won't be 3 in total.
*at least 10-15 shots for a short gif
Such as this: http://img378.**************/img378/8775/royaif6.gif
*at least 23-27 shots for a long gif
Such as this: http://img168.**************/img168/5928/untitled1uf9gj7.gif
4. Drag all the screenshots in the animated gifs folder. ( mandatory )
5. Open Imageready.
6. Go to file>import>folder as frames
* Choose the folder with your screenshots. The animated gifs one.
7. Be sure that when your folder opens that your animating window is showing up.

It will be at the bottom of your screen.
*** If it's not showing upp go to window>animation
Then it will pop up.
8. Organize the screenshots, the way you want them to show up.
*** If you're not sure what your animation is looking like, press the > arrow in the middle of the animation window. It will play your animation.
9. When you're all done go to file>save optimized as
*** Save it in the done folder just to be organized and name it.
In the end it will turn out to be beautiful like this. ;D
