ATTENTION! PLEASE PUT THIS ON FULL SCREEN! IT WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE A WHOLE LOT EASIER! THANK YOU! Hi! I'm @Quiora44 (This is a shared account between @Ostrichs4Life and I). She and I thought of making a tutorial to help you guys use our animated thumbnails and banners, so... here it is! It's pretty self-explanatory, everything you need to know is in the project. HOW TO USE: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Space Bar: TOP RECOMMENDED STRATEGY FOR NON-MOBILE USERS. Just click this key to advance from one slide to the other. (Computer-friendly, but not so much for phones XD) Arrow Keys: Click the left and right arrow keys to go to the previous or next slide. (For computers, laptops, desktops, macbooks, PCs, chromebooks.. you know, those things only, obviously) Just be careful with the left arrow when you get to the slide with a gif as a visual! Click the Sprite: JUST ABOUT THE ONLY MOBILE-FRIENDLY STRATEGY THERE IS HERE! Aim at the words for slides that don't have screenshots to advance. When you do have screenshots, click on them. M Key: To mute the music. But whyyyy?! It's SO good!!! R Key: To replay the music after it's done or resume playing after it's been muted. >:D ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks!

All coding whatsoever EXCEPT for all transition coding: All transition coding (etc. code for a new slide when the space key is pressed): Sample banner used for uploading process: (It says ) (and for ordering AND being an awesome customer!) Layout: Thumbnail: Me ( too I guess, she was super helpful and had great ideas) using Canva and somewhere on Google/OceanHero for the background image. Chartreuse Example Thumbnail: Me, using Canva (this is that chartreuse greenish-yellow thumbnail we used as an example to show how you can use the bookmarklet and get animated gif thumbnails). Starred Link (Animated Thumbnail Bookmarklet): Lightning Links: and (also 's YouTube channel) Screenshot Cropper: AND WAY MORE - Gallery (off of Google Files). This has helped me SO much.. Background Remover (for small screenshots, like the cursor): remove.bg (I PROBABLY COULDN'T MAKE A SINGLE BANNER, THUMBNAIL, OR SET WITHOUT THIS INCREDIBLE TOOL!!! :D EXTREMELY HELPFUL GIF (that shows the blue link being dragged & dropped into the Bookmarks Bar): Thingy With Marshmallows (I'm not giving any spoilers :p): Google/OceanHero (well, Pinterest) for the image, CoolTextFonts for the font, and me for the phrase idea... hehe! Symbols For the Lightning Links: CoolSymbol Gif Line Coding (exact speed of frame movement): Code - Gif on Specific Slides: (this took me like forever, I'm so pathetic XD) All screenshots: ('cept for the bookmarklet one of course, all of those screenshots were from ) Idea: & All highlighting (like red boxes on screenshots to indicate importance): , using the SCRATCH VECTOR EDITOR Making this all possible in the first place: GIPHY and (bookmarklet creation, tutorial) / (original JavaScript thumbnail code) (I was having SO much trouble with the transition coding, so THANKS!)
