I NEED HELP WITH GIFS
So. What is the most simple GIF maker out there? And preferably FREE? How many pics should I use for the GIF? Is there anything else I should know or be doing? Thanks :)
i use command line ffmpeg.exe utility.
1st step: make 6 fragments, each is 10 seconds.
2nd step: merge them in one avi-file.
3rd step: make gif from avi-file.

I just get my payout...and there is 10.78 $ missing :P I know maybe that's not much, but really...when someone promises something, i expect that this person will be fair. It's just silly that i need to write to them to ask about my money, but it's my money, even if it's 10$.

Is it a download? Or is it already on my PC (as my google search has offered)?

All this stuff you need to learn to make a success! Before starting it looks as simple as: film clip - upload clip. Yet the more clips you make, the more you realise what you're doing a bit wrong!

I NEED HELP WITH GIFS
Thought I would put that in caps as this thread is all about piracy and non-payment at the mo and I don't want my post to get lost ;D Anyway, my preview gifs (auto-made by C4S) and static pics are not very enticing at all. I used my 270 to make the clips, so the quality isn't HD and the colour's quite washed out, and this in turn affects the preview gif/static pic. (I am now shooting with my 920, which has made a HUGE difference.)

I make gifs using still images...I take snapshots with movie maker and then put them together as gif using photoscape.

Hey, I hear you. I'm the same way. Don't mess with MY money! lol
But really, I've had this happen to me before as well and there was a reason for it. It was something like....the customer had bought the same clip twice and they were given the opportunity to get another clip of equal value from my store, but he wanted to use it for a clip form *another* clip producers store. So, they debited the money from my check. Something odd like that doesn't really fit under refunds and chargebacks.
I've also had the reverse happen too. I got a clip sale email that never showed up in the sales report. Turns out a customer was using a 'credit' on my store that they got from another clip producer. So yeah, weird things like that happen once in a while.

On a related note.....if you ever see a cool gif and wonder how it was made, there are programs that can break down the frames for you. I use a program called gifframe but I've had it for eons, it's a free program and there are various places online you can download it. Or, you can also do it online: http://ezgif.com/split (I haven't used that site, just found it when doing a Google search for gifframe.)

Yeah I'm already having an issue now. I'm on the page where I write my clip description, etc….I go to pick my clip to upload from the drop down box, I click on it but nothing comes up in the "clip time" & "clip price" box. So I can't upload it onto my store. First time I've had an issue in a while though so hopefully it resolves soon.

Yeah anytime I try to select something from the drop down it has the popup and says "clip may be corrupt please reupload" but yet some of them work. I was able to upload everything fine today using the green upload button though. Just weird... -_-

How can i remove old files from hosting? I have ~300 files (270gbytes) to remove. From panel i can not remove them, from ftp too.
Support can not remove them too. What do we do?
Yeah this month started great for me and now it's dead. I made my minimum in the first 3 days and now I get 3 sales every day...

How do I stop the static image (before the GIF kicks in as you scroll down the page) from being the first frame of the clip? I put a title page at the beginning of all my clips, and it looks SO boring seeing all these title pages if you quickly scroll down.
I wish Clips4Sale would update us on why I can't update my store and when they expect it to be fixed.

It's just how quickly the page loads. I would make the title page a credits page and have it at the end...but it should be the first frame of the gif that shows rather than the first frame of the clip.

Yes, it's not. I might have to change up how I edit my clips.

Fun fact: If you read waaaaaaaaaay down on the new admin page...they changed their FTP address. I fucking FTPed 20 clips overnight and woke up to...none of them being there. The new address is ftp.clips4sale.com THANKS FOR TELLING US C4S! Also the "add to members area" is auto-ticked which is a real piss-off, and the tweeting to my account or to @c4supdates is not working. Happy changeover! *grumblegrumble*

Just to follow up on a point made by some posters already, I was struggling to upload so I contacted C4S admin and they advised me to use the new admin login to upload vid clips: https://admin.clips4sale.com/login/index and stop using the old one.
And I managed to upload.

Do customers appreciate nice intros and outros with music?
I've just opened my store and the clips I've done thus far have title and ending sequences with nifty transitions to simulate animations and an instrumental theme song. However, I cut one together today where I just had a static title card and a static credit card with no music (total 14 seconds). I don't have any money to buy other people's clips so I don't really have any idea what the standard expectation is.
I feel like the fancy sequences make my clips look higher-end, but the simpler ones made them quicker to edit. I also have to wonder, though, if there isn't some urgency to get to the goods in a clip. Obviously you don't want a lot of fluff to extend your time, but that's not really my problem, I don't think. The fancy sequences total 30 seconds (only ten for the intro), the simple ones total 16 (in and out are 8 seconds each), but I can see how someone eager to see me wash my hair might think I'm padding the clip with my transitions and cards.
So, are fancy intros worth the effort or are customers fine with less frills if it gets them to the action quicker?

Personally, I don't think fancy intros are going to be a selling point for a clip. But I also don't think they are going to detract someone either. It only matters to YOU if it is taking too much time when editing. I'm always trying to streamline the whole process, myself.
Screw the (cheap!) customers! lol If they can't wait a few *seconds* longer and then they won't shell out $1.00 more, you don't need them. The guys who WANT to see YOU and want to see YOU wash your hair, will pay. They always do.
Time and time again, it's ALWAYS the cheap (or not even buying!!) customers who complain the most. My most loyal customers never say a peep.
Don't ever be worried about the cheap guys. ;-)
Ms.Spectre
07-11-2016, 12:23 AM
Oh no, I haven't had any complaints or anything! I've only just started, but I charge a dollar more than the default price so I'm not, like, pandering to cheap people. I'm just interested in offering an optimum product to those people who take the risk on paying that extra dollar, since you really don't know what you're going to get until you buy the clip.
The content of the clip is obviously the important thing. I'm just curious if pretty bookends are something that makes a customer feel he's received a higher-end experience once he's watched the clip or if they don't care either way. It's not something I'm trying to sell the clips on, more like it's a little extra mile.
You do make a good point though. I don't have to do the fancy intros if I don't want to. If I don't do them, than any regulars I collect won't expect them. And then, if I do put in the fancy transitions for compilations or other specials, that makes them even specialer.
Yeah, I think that's what I'll do. Fancy sequences for fancier videos.
Thanks, Tea4Me.
