Hello everyone!!! If instagram is distorting the GIF, set your canvas to 1080x1920! You can also use the Web Ready tab when you click Share->Animated GIF-> and then switch from max resolution to web ready :) this worked for me at least, worth giving it a try! :D thanks for the video, it was INCREDIBLY helpful and I’m obsessed with making GIF’s now!

Hmm but the gif doesn’t look as nice with web ready :(

you can also set the base design as "background" in animation assist so that way you don't have to copy/paste it for each frame!

Just when I'd come to terms with your pronunciation of "gif", you got to "opacity". Just teasing :) this is a really helpful tutorial and is well made. Thanks for taking the time to share! Much appreciated.

To be fair, you don't have to have taken the instagram story already, and you can add it without the "add sticker" button popping up. You just have to tap the story as if you'd like to add text, and then paste it there :)

zozeee 13 hi! if it’s a black background, make sure that you “transparent background” checked before exporting. if there’s a black outline around the shape, you might be using a brush that creates semi-transparent strokes, which will appear dark when you export. try using a solid brush around the edges, like mono line!

What dpi do you set up the canvas with? Does your gifs come out blurry at times? 🤔

@MacFord

4 жыл бұрын

D S I think mine is set to 300 dpi! and yes, definitely - it’ll always be a little more pixelated than it appears in procreate, and uploading to giphy will take down the quality too. totally normal! the best to keep it clear is to get as close to the borders of the canvas as you can. 😊

How do you make a gif with animated text? For example "New Post" would start with the flag and then you would see you writing "New Post" almost like a timelapse of the work but as a gif/png?

Do you know why my gif comes out vertically stretched when I paste it into IG Stories? lol

Does anyone know if this works for making stickers for sale in the App Store / for iMessage? Since it’s exported as a gif, it does right?

okay i did this and it exported to my files just as i wanted it to be... but when i put the sticker on an ig story the frame rate was all messed up and it looked confused and broken. the timing between frames became inconsistent and choppy. anyone know what happened between the photos app and the story that could have caused the weird delayed animation?
