  • I love this program. I would love it more if you could actually scroll through the images in cinemagraph masking mode so you could see the areas that need masking more clearly. Also, could you toggle the mask off and on to see underneath it? Maybe erase tool for part of the mask?

    These are all great ideas. I find myself closing the effects panel to skip forward a few frames, only to go back into the cinemagraph panel. Adding a toggle is also a great idea. And erase is currently in the list of tasks - it’s been requested a few times.

    You can expect to these features soon!

  • Instagiffer 1.73/1.74 (PC/Mac)

    This is the latest version! Go to www.instagiffer.com to download.

    2016-04-15 Update: Just pushed 1.74 (Mac only) to fix a small startup quirk when Instagiffer was launched from Finder.

    This one is mostly for Mac users, but there are some new features:

    • Line-spacing adjustment - modify the space between lines of text
    • Soft outline is now called officially called Shadow. Shadow parameter was tweaked a bit too. It looks pretty nice :)
    • In the instagiffer.conf
      • set default text margin (distance of text from image’s edge)
      • Set duration=0.0 to have insta default to max video duration on video load
    • Caption dialog now reports the dimensions in real-time as they’re adjusted
    • Scrollwheel, Control-scrollwheel and Shift-scrollwheel on caption dialog resize the capture width and/or height
    • Mac bug fixes

  • it seems to me that the space in between two lines in the (mac) text editor is much greater than it used to be - was there a coding change there at some point in the past month of adjustments? also, I'm seeing a lot of font styling inconsistencies (I select bold & italics for helvetica, for example, and nothing changes). any way you could revert to a previous behavior?
    Anonymous

    I’ll take a look at this today - Could you send us an email? The font logic hasn’t changed much, but something on Mac may have inadvertently been broken by another change.

  • I'm confused on how to use the new crossfade feature, could you quickly explain it? Thanks!
    illestmisfit

    Hey! Glad you asked :)

    1. Get all the frames you want to cross-fade together, either by combining GIFs (as shown in our YouTube Tutorial Series) or by using an existing GIF with a transition.

    2. Go up to Frame > Frame Effects > Crossfade

    3. Find the extract transition frame, ie, where scene B begins. Let’s say it is frame 16. Let’s call this the XFadeMiddle

    4. Now pick how long you want the cross fade to be. For the purpose of this tutorial, let’s say 4 frames. Let’s call this the XFadeLength

    5. Set the Start slider to XFadeMiddle-XFadeLength, or 12 in this example

    6. Set the End slider to XFadeMiddle+XFadeLength, or 20 in this example

    Ughhh math… right?

    Hint: Once you master this, you can nexlev your skills and make an infinite looping GIF by setting the end frame BEFORE the start frame ;)


    Let us know if you need any further help!

  • Instagiffer 1.72 (Mac/PC)

    A newer version is available! Go to www.instagiffer.com to download.

    I’m really happy with this one. What’s in it:

    • Way faster when opening the effects panel, previewing and generating cinemagraphs
    • Progress bar doesn’t just loop endlessly anymore - It actually shows progress percentage
    • When you hold down the next/previous frame buttons, the preview plays back at the actual speed (handy!)
    • Screen capture
      • If you CTRL-CLICK the start button, you’ll get a 5 second count down
      • Small but worth noting: you can click-drag the blue area to move it
    • Vastly improved audio support
      • Adjust volume
      • preview button on audio dialog
      • m4a supported
      • Audio plays in the Instagiffer player
    • Logo can now be moved vertically and horizontally by the number of pixels you specify
    • Improved softened outline. It’s more of a drop shadow now
    • Instagiffer.conf
      • Default values for all caption parameters can be specified
      • Default YouTube quality adjustable (settings/downloadQuality)
    • Bug fixes
