Post subject: | Has Anyone Made A Tutorial On Using Custom Font Tools? |
GIMP Version: 2.10.20 Operating System: Mac OS GIMP Experience: Experienced User I've had some success using these tools, however, they don't always behave as I expect. For instance, if I place more than 1 layer (pattern/gradient/texture) using Font Face Maker, it randomizes the alphabet letters even though the the option for random isn't even selected. I tried using 1 layer at a time (removing the others from the image) and the effect I'm trying to obtain is nowhere close to what I am expecting as if I had done it on my own without the plugin. Either I am missing something (or misunderstanding) or the plugin has a bug. If anyone had made a video tutorial I'd check it out and improvise. |

I think there's something on GL by Skinnyhouse, but I pretty sure it's not a video.. |

Yes, I'm winging this one by ear, or accidental discovery. |

Did anyone solve the GAP 2.7 & MPlayer connection, when attempting to extract images from a movie? It says GAP_MPLAYER_APP ...how GAP connects to MPLAYER, if when MPLAYER is already installed in Win10?! Thanx |

Hi oliverqueen. I recon you should ask this question in a new topic. That makes it easier for those who follow. GC won't be a big jumble ![]() I used GAP a lot once. It uses mplayer as a back end. To extract video you go Gimp>Video>Split video into frames>Extract Video Range You locate your video at the top. Click 'video range' to see the frames. Output should be > extracted frames are stored in one multilayered image. Note. Viedeo editors can convert clips into PNG's that can then be 'opened as layers' in Gimp. Thats why I don't really need Gimp-GAP anymore. Also it's a complex bit of coding so deserves it's own thread. |

ffmpeg can convert video to image-sequence: Code: Select all ffmpeg -i "video.avi" -f image2 "img_%03d.png" Or image-sequence back into video: Code: Select all ffmpeg -r 24 -i img_%03d.png -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -an out.mp4 |

As with Tas_Mania it should be a separate thread and more information as to what the OP actually requires. GAP barely worked with Gimp 2.8 Does anyone still use it with Gimp 2.10 ? If Gimp and importing video is a 100% necessity, plant a static version of ffmpeg.exe in the Gimp directory and use the gmic_gimp_qt plugin FWIW: demo https://i.imgur.com/ZuhSEia.mp4 |

Mahvin has just taken the plunge and ventured into the calm waters of GimpLearn where we have been having a conversation about Custom Font Facemaker. He is using Gimp 2.10.20 and I haven't tested my filters with the new version yet. (Still with 2.10.12 because of the issues with python-fu dialogs in versions above that - perhaps 2.10.20 has solved that.) I moved custom font stuff there because of the available increased file size - not because of a lack of love for GimpChat - and still visit here on a very regular basis. You can search for guides and help there if you need to find out about the tools but I thought I would post some links to some of the plug-ins to save folk the bother. I have tried to link to posts that provide more guidance on their use rather than just the most recent version available. Custom Font Facemaker Custom Font Effects Only Custom Font Metallic Effects Custom Fonts GT Lighting Effects Custom Font GT Lighting Effects (Second Post) Custom Font Paragrapher Custom Font Wordwall Custom Font Single Path Stroker Custom Font Inner Glow Custom Font Perspex Effects There are other custom font tools available if you search for them. |

New members rarely read the fine print when joining and usually high-jack the first few posts they see. It happens. Off topic: Has anyone tried/used the new Blender? WOW! I'm going to 3D the Golden Wilbur and 3D print it. |

Gratitude It looks that gmic_gimp_qt plugin works fine! However, for the sake of learning, I still want to know how GAP MPlayer extraction process needs be set in Win10 Wish you the best! |
