Im suggesting this tutorial should be upgraded, and made more indepth. I could make a new thread but it would be pointless.
Heres an idea:
Pivot 2.2.5:
When the animation is finished:
1. Save as .gif
2. Uncheck merge
3. Set frame delay to 6
4. Set resize to 50%
Pivot 3.0/3.1:
When the animation is finished:
1. Save as .gif
2. Uncheck merge
3. Set supersample to 4
4. Set resize to 50%
Now once steps 1-4 are finished (for 2.2.5 and 3.0/3.1 users):
5. Open
www.imageshack.us
6. Click the 'browse' button
7. Find your animation (.gif) and click 'ok'
8. When the upload is finished, you will be redirected to another page, copy the link in the 'Direct Link To Image' box.
9. Return to Stickpage (or wherever you want to post the animation)
10. Create a new post in the apropriate section (Community animations>Pivot>Beginner section).
11. Above the white text box you will see many little buttons. Click the button that says 'Image' when you scroll over it.
12. Paste the link you copied earlier in the pop up and press ok.
13. A code should appear in your text box. It should appear similar to this:
It may appear like this while you are creating your post, but when you finish you post, it will appear as a moving gif (your animation)
14. Click ok to finish making your post. You have now successfully posted for pivot animation Congratulations!
I suggest creating your animations at 20 Fps. Most great pivot animators animate at 20Fps including me.
Meanings:
.gif: An image type that supports images containing multiple frames
Merge: When enabled it merges all identical frames, meaning if you have a pause in your animation, that pause will be reduced to one frame, it is recommended that you uncheck merge.
Supersample: Like anti aliasing, it softens the edges of your animation, making it look smoother and less pixelated.
Resize: Resizes the animations Height and Width, 50% is recommended.
Post: A new post in a thread.
Link: A URL to a specific page or picture ect.
