RuneScape:Editing/Recording animations

Before you can start taking and uploading files of animations you will need to make a wiki account: logged out users cannot upload files to the wiki.

You will also need a tool to record .gif files. GifCam is free and can be used to record decent quality .gifs easily.

Using GifCam
More in-depth instructions can be found on the download page.


 * Drag and resize the GifCam window so that it covers the area used by the animation you wish to record.
 * Adjust your FPS to 33 using the right-click drop down next to Rec. Select the option for 265 colors in the drop down next to Save.
 * Press record and play the animation you want to capture.
 * If necessary use the Edit button to delete, crop or resize frames from the .gif by clicking on them.
 * When you are happy Save the .gif.

Upload
Uploading a .gif is done in the same way as uploading a regular file.

A file already exists
If there is an existing file you should a upload a new version of this rather than creating a new file.


 * You can find the file's name by editing a page where it is used (image).
 * Search for that file name (image).
 * Use the "Upload a new version of this file" option under File History or the right-click "replace" option on the right click next to the edit button (image).

A new file
If there is no previous file to upload over you should create a new file.


 * Click on the arrow next to the Contribute button at the top right of the screen and select "Add a file" (image).
 * Choose the file you want to upload.
 * Ensure an appropriate file name is entered into the "Destination filename" field (image).
 * Our Image policy contains standards for how to name different kinds of file here.
