My Game Salad Website

Hello,

Sorry I haven't posted much recently. But anyways, I decided to make a tutorial on how to play movies in GameSalad. It is a slightly onoying process though. But here we go. Here is the tutorial on how to accomplish this in video form. There are the instructions in text after the break.

To accomplish this, follow the following steps:

1. Download Adapter from http://www.macroplant.com/adapter/ for free.
2. Open it up.
3. Install the requested plugins and get past the welcom screen and such.
4. Download the video you want or open it in Adapter.
5. Convert it to a .gif file under the movie type.
6. Change the conversion properties to as low as you can.
7. Record the FPS select.
8. Start the conversion.
9. Once completed, Control-Click on the file and select "Show output in Finder".
10. Now go to your browser and go to http://gifninja.com/split-animated-gif/new
11. Press "Select Files" and select the .gif file.
12. Once the conversion is complete, scroll down to the bottom and click "Download Images".
13. It will give you a .zip file. Open it.
14. Drag all those images into the project images.
15. Now create a new object the size of the video. Find the size by looking at one of the image sizes.
16. Open the actor editor.
17. Drag in the "Animate" behavior.
18. Drag in all the images.
19. Set the FPS to the recorded FPS.
20. Run it! It works!

And that's it.

Thanks for reading!
