Come and Join us in Creating GIF for the Utopian.io Contest suggested by @stellabelle in this Utopian Post.

I am a beginner in creating GIFS with images and now I am beginning to get a hang of it in this 4th Entry.

HOW I CREATED THIS GIF

Step 1

Getting An idea First

For this gif, I wanted to get the fire burning from the bottom. I wanted something alive and moving so that you can hear the crackling of the fire burning intensely.

---

Step 2

I can't find this kind of animation in the Giphy.com site.
So I had to look elsewhere to get the animated fire for this GIF.

I came into this site to make my movie in mp4

https://www.kizoa.com/

---

Step 3

I clicked on the tab: Create a video

This window pops up. I chose 16:9

---

Step 4

I uploaded this image as this is the image I wanted to work on.

---

Step 5

At the menu bar: Click EFFECT

And in this Effect area, there are different kind of animations you can choose.

I scroll down to the 'fire', and clicked FIRE Effect.

---

Step 6

When the 'fire' effect is clicked, the fire is now added onto the image.

The fire appears at the bottom of the picture.

This is perfect, because I want the fire going up.

---

Step 7

I saved this and downloaded the mp4 onto my computer.

---

Step 8

I then went to Giphy.com and uploaded my mp4 there.

---

Step 9

For this step, you can look at my procedure in Entry 2 here.

I put in the text: Open Source Economy

I chose: MEME

---

Step 10

The final GIF is created here.

---

Voila! This is the final creation!

This is not difficult to do once you know what you want.

Think of an idea in the first place, and things will move very quickly from one step to another.

---

There are a few more days left before the deadline, so submit your 1st entry if you have not done so.

Have fun,

Rosa
