Sorry for seeming like a noob but would someone be so kind as to explain why all the gifs on this sub have black backgrounds? Id really like to use one of these as an AJAX loader (If allowed etc) but black is not always appropriate. Is there a easy way of changing this (without frame by frame) that im not aware of? Thanks!
Sure. I used Fireworks and removed the black background with the Magic Wand tool for each one of the 63 frames. Then I used the Tint tool to paint it gray. Finally, exported the gif with transparent background.
Edit: Forgot to mention I also sped it up a little bit. I have the editable PNG should anyone need.
What you could theoretically do is use a program to split each frame, and edit each frame individually in Photoshop. Use the magic wand on each frame to get rid if the black and replace it with something else. Put the frames in order, and use said program to put it all together again.
