Art resources request

[quote=Ekki]So I'm in need of advice on art resources for a bunch of different things. In the past I looked for them by googling but I always end up with meh programs that don't fulfill all my needs after using them for hours. So I figured I could ask here for some recommendations for the following needs (please only free software): [list] [*]A gif creator that can use both videos and images. Or a non-suspicious gif creating page and a video-editing program. [*]A screen recorder for my pc that works with LoL. Every single one of these I tried were too cpu intensive, but there might be some less intensive programs out there. [*]An image editor. Mainly for signatures and guide banners. I want to give this a try :P [/list] Thanks in advance![/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]Well, if you're just looking to fool around, GIMP is free and can do both the first and last options. I've never made a gif using a video with GIMP, but I know it can be done. As far as the other one, the only thing I've really used with LoL is OBS and it seemed to work fine for me.[/quote]

[quote=Ekki]Thanks! Already downloaded GIMP. I'm going to try it this week and see what I can do :P[/quote]

[quote=Ninja Trigger]Just about all of my sigs I have made using gimp, and gifs are possible if your experienced in layers. [img=http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af317/Ninja_Trigger/Wayne%20gif2_zpsub4zk8mr.gif] Example of a gif signature I made in gimp For recording you could try the [url=https://www.xsplit.com/gamecaster]xSplit GameCaster[/url] there are free and paid versions of it, but I have also heard that OBS works great it's harder because the interface is less user friendly, but thats just from what I have heard I have never tried using OBS. For a Video Editor you could use Magix Movie Edit pro I have 14, but 16 is available from steam for around 100 bucks, and it's what I mainly use, but Sony Movie Edit pro is a lot better and it's cheaper I use both for different things. A few gifs I made with Magix [spoiler=they are awful] [img=http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af317/Ninja_Trigger/Gif%20MR_zpsymlxdwav.gif] [img=http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af317/Ninja_Trigger/Elo%20Gif_zpsjxjolubc.gif] [img=http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af317/Ninja_Trigger/Sonic%20Gif_zps1ihkzosj.gif] [img=http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af317/Ninja_Trigger/Nunchaku%20Gif_zpsp6dhu4kv.gif] [img=http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af317/Ninja_Trigger/Gif%20test%202_zpsnb2pee99.gif] I'm sure there is a way to remove the black bars and make them more gif liked sized, but yeah I made them a long time ago and was mostly just messing around.[/spoiler] Hopefully all that helps out but when it comes to buying an editng program don't just take recommendations do your homework thoroughly (^_^") but if you are looking for free editing software you can use Blender it's CGI animation program but it does have a full blown built in video editor that's 100% free.[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]here's another gif made with GIMP, just as an example [img=http://orig12.deviantart.net/7eb2/f/2016/020/2/9/wanderer_by_thenamelessbard-d9oq52e.gif][/quote]
