Re: [Gimp-user] GAP Onionskin Question
On Fri, Oct 24, 2008 at 12:14 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have some comments on Bhaaluu's onion-skinning tutorial which is included at the end of this message. WOW! Your comments and suggestions are invaluable! This post is a keeper. One other little thing that I did that I found very helpful. Usually a pencil-test that is made into a video doesn't translate very well into an MPEG video because the pencil lines are too light/thin, or something. What I did to make the lines darker was this on each PPM that I saved: Filters Artistic Cartoon... [X] Preview Mask Radius: 23.27 Percent black: 0.500 Now, I really don't know what those things do, so I just played with the sliders until I got what I wanted. What I wanted just turned out to be the above settings. I can't wait to try the new tutorial out! Gimp-GAP tutorials are hard to find, even with Google, so this is a jewel. Thank you ever so much, saulgoode. -- b h a a l u u at g m a i l dot c o m Kid on Bus: What are you gonna do today, Napoleon? Napoleon Dynamite: Whatever I feel like I wanna do. Gosh! Step 9 instructs the user to perform a File-Open the second frame (f_02.xcf). When using GAP, you should not use File-Open to navigate frames; use one of the commands: Video-Go To (which is useful to assign keyboard shortcuts), Video-Playback (which provides some nice scrubbing functionality), or Video-VCR Navigator (which provides easy cut-n-pasting of frames). Not only will the operation take much less time, but some operations depend upon GAP managing the displays. Step 9 should instruct Video-Go To-Next Frame. In Step 8, the Stack Position line should have a 0 in it; specifying that the onionskin layer should be placed at the top of the layerstack. Stack Position: 0 [From Top] In Step 10, the onion-skin layer should appear above the background layer in the layerstack and it should be unnecessary to lower it (if the instructions in the preceding comment are followed). In Steps 11 to 14, it would probably be better to use the Move Tool to align the layers, rather than the Selection Tool. The method that Bhaaluu proposed will only work with older versions (2.2 and earlier) of GIMP, whereas using the Move Tool works with all versions. The Move Tool permits the keyboard cursor keys to be used for moving in single-pixel increments (or SHIFT-cursor for larger steps). This also eliminates the need to make a selection and the need to anchor the layer. Instead of performing Steps 15 and 16, just move on to the next frame. Because the onionskin setup includes the Auto delete before saving, the XCF file which gets saved (before you go to a different frame) will not have the onionskin layer. After you are done with all of your editing, delete the onionskin configuration, and use the Video-Frames Convert... command to save your results as PNM files. In Step 17, again File-Open should not be used. To navigate to the second frame, use one of the methods suggested in my first comment. Finally, the instructions of Step 19 suggest that using onionskin layers is not the best approach for this task. Onionskinning is useful if you want to align frame 2 with frame 1, frame 3 with frame 2, frame 4 with frame 3, and so on. It is not a particularly good method to align frame 2 with frame 1, frame 3 with frame 1, frame 4 with frame 1, etc. I would propose the following approach to accomplish the latter task (the first seven steps are identical to Bhaaluu's tutorial): 1. Create new directory and save all PNM files to the new directory. 2. Change to the new directory, and create a directory: PNM 3. Copy all the PNM files to the PNM directory. This is a backup. 4. Open The Gimp. 5. File Open f_01.pnm 6. Video Frames Convert... Extension: .xcf GAP saves all the PNM files as XCF files, in sequential order. 7. Close f_01.pnm. 8. In f_01.xcf window, perform an Image-Duplicate. A new Untitled image should be displayed. 9. In f_01.xcf window, perform a Video-Move Path. Change the Stepmode to None and change the Opacity to 50% (the From and To frames should be the first and last frames). Press OK. -- this will create a copy of the first frame as the top layer of each of the frames. 10. Perform a Video-Go To-Next frame. (You should assign this command to a keyboard shortcut. I have assigned my F5, F6, F7, and F8 keys to First, Previous, Next, and Last frame commands respectively.) 11. Activate the bottom layer (Layer-Stack-Select Bottom Layer). This is conveniently accomplished with the END key. 12. Activate the Move Tool (keyboard shortcut M). Hold down the SHIFT key and use the mouse to align your registration points (or use the cursor keys) Repeat Steps 10 through 12. This amounts to the following keystrokes: F7, END, cursor keys and should be rather quick to accomplish. If it is necessary to use the Rotate Tool, you will have to anchor the floating
