Does someone know how to make an avatar with a video that you’ve already made?

Or if I give a link, then could someone make it for me?

Are you looking for information on uploading an avatar or why you aren’t recieving notices on tags you’re subscribed too?

Unfortunately both of these features have been disabled until further notice. Looks like you’ll have to stick with your “letter of the alphabet” avatar. You can also Contact us with any other issues you have.

You mean an animated gif, or a video file?

turn into a .gif file, depending on what program you’re using, this can be easy or hard… photoshop makes .gifs real easily out of photos.

Help me with: What is the percentage of the amount of time an average American spends inside versus the time spent outside?

Take frames from the video, then make it into an animated gif.

Forget movie maker, that won’t make gif’s for you.

Download Gimp, then when you do, tell me, and I’ll lead you through the rest.

1 frame, but the message says something along the lines of “reported 300 times.” I already force quit it though. I’m going to try again later, but for now I’m taking a break. Thank you so much for your help though. Have a good night/day/or whatever it is where you are.
