People have been able to add GIMP to a video? Like edit a video with GIMP? I don't remember this any.

I am talking about the Lightsaber effect tutorial.

Well that's not what I'm talking about. You'll just have to see then. I'm posting anyway. Wink

Gimp a video? Is this possible? If so, I can't wait to see the tutorial!
Question: Do I have to edit every picture seperately? Because that is what I have been doing.

This is for live-action videos. Like with your camcorder. Wink

And here it is!

Visit my Youtube page if you have any questions about how to do stuff. Wink

Good, but you're using a pretty simple muzzle flare technique.

Yeah I just tried what was on the first page. Is there a better laser effect I can do?

That was really clever! Good show!

Quick Little Holo I threw together out of pics from the rehab of what used to be my Corvalis Bridge, now a little command center, for what may evolve into my faction.

Also, in the spirit of Star Trek, using the same photo I whipped up a quick little transporter effect. Not the best, I know.

Nice job. Love the beam effect. What'd ya use? Looks like the spark brush.

"Beam us up."

by Heady on Sun May 10, 2009 12:51 pm

Yeah, I used the Spark Brush with limited Opacity. Thanks!

Hmmm... Clone Wars with transporters... Kinky... Wink

Alright I've been back at gimp and chose to do some lightsaber effects.

Yoda and some clones

And General of course

His eyes scare the **** out of me. Razz

Pretty good but the only thing I would do is try to round the tops of the lightsabers a bit more.

by Code_Green on Sun May 10, 2009 4:08 pm

Yeah, and the lightsaber is a little bit too white/light. Try with more dark green on the edges.

by cln-cmndo on Sun May 10, 2009 4:13 pm

Your general Grievious scares me.

by MuffinHobo on Sun May 10, 2009 5:28 pm

Thanks guys. I don't really know how to round edges. And I don't know how to make the blades darker either. Take in mind these are my first attempts at gimping.

by Gerrard on Sun May 10, 2009 5:40 pm

Yes and they were better than mine. Razz

Try getting a closer view of maybe 1600(I think but not sure). Then try to erase some of the pieces that make it a bit jagged.
