How can i make my own pictures to gif image?..or lets say a moving picture??

• Answer:

  hey Jamchris, Using a good movie software and a simple photo editor, you can do many things with still images. You can put still images into a movie software frame, and give it a duration for showing, say 5 seconds. Then merge in a film clip, or another picture. My favorite trick is to take 1 picture, and Crop it about 1%, save the image as the same name with a 2 on it. Then crop the cropped image again, another 1% (you can vary the percent), and save it as the same file name except change 2 to 3. if you repeat this process enough, you will have enough frames to look like you are Zooming in, or Zooming out. Simply put each picture into the Movie software timeline, with a short duration (like 1/4 second, and put them all in a row from the original to the last in the increasing cropped. The final picture will be the 'close up'. Now you have a movie of zooming in on a subject, from 1 still picture. I did this for my own weding video, a picture of my wife walking down the aisle (pre-video cameras), and now I have a video of my wedding. You can also do fades in and out, and all kinds of transitions using movie software. Best of luck, keep looking for the tips.
