evnpeters : Hello~ I know people have probably asked you this a ton, but I looked through your q&a link and I couldn't find an answer. So, what font do you use on your gifs? (:
I use Calibri or Avant Garde most of the times, sometimes I use these:

amsterdamnedd : I was wondering, my dearly beloved blogger, you could please explain to me how to colour in your gifs? And while we're on it.. that jack nicholson gif scared the crap out of me multiple times while I typed this
i add adjustment layers on my gifs, this post pretty much explains what i add and how i use it… if you’re just starting out with colourings and such, you might want to use psds for now and play with the adjustments
and since i’m nice enough, i’ll provide some psd blogs:

Select the Text tool

To add borders for the text, select the Text layer»righ click»Blending Options…
Check the Stroke box, and just play with the settings until you get the border you desire.
TA-DA! You’re done!!

Anonymous : am i the only one who doesn't think ryan gosling is attractive?
you’re not alone dear, i mean idk what people see in him tbh.
- yeah he made all the women (men included) fall in love with him in the movie The Notebook with his charm and clever lines, such as
- as for me, and i guess for you too, that charm did us no good whatsoever
- oh god and that awful movie he also starred in, Lars and the Real Girl? jfc everyone thinks he’s so adorable in that movie *eye roll* let’s be honest, he was creepy as fuck
- look at that face and awful mustache, geez he looks like a rapist, hide yo’ kids hide yo’ wife and hide yo’ husband coz he be rapin’ errone.
- and those other movies he was in was major zzZZZzzzZZzz
- enough about his shitty acting skills, let’s move on to his appearance shall we?
- HOW CAN SOMEONE BE ATTRACTED TO THAT FACE!??!?!
- who cares if he’s goofy or loves animals or the fact that he has amazing sense of style, who cares about those right?
- you know what i don’t get? the fact that he’s in all the covers of magazines, like who would buy them right? and i don’t get why he’s on the list of people’s sexiest man alive when he’s not even hot
- i heard he’s a part of this band called Dead Man’s Bone, wanna know why they’re called that? coz they play like dead ppl HAahah Aha AHa h A
- let’s not forget about his shitty ass personality too, if you’ve seen his interviews, oh god, you’d probably hate him more than ever
- so like he’s really humble and charming in his interviews, but who gives a shit about that right? yeah
this list could go on forever, but i decided to stop because you get the point, i will never understand what people see in ryan gosling, you ppl make me sick

Anonymous : OMG HOW EMBARRASSING. Ignore the last anon message. I just read through your reply tags and saw the font message. Sorry about that. But actually, I just thought of another question (LOL) where do you usually get the videos for your gifs? For example, if I downloaded an episode of true blood, how do I cut a certain part of it out so that it's easier to import it into CS5. Please and thank you :D
I use Wondershare Video Converter, it’s not free, but I got it for free thanks to youtube. Anyway, just download the free trial as you normally would. Then when you run it and asks for the registration key and email, put these:
- License Email: bidjan@ziggo.nl
- Keycode: E7B0F70DB5CE3900F01E88053F98AA05
It should work. As for cutting the parts to make it easier to import into CS5, I use this tool 
to cut the parts I want. I have to warn you though to play with the video quality settings first because it might lower the quality. Say if you have a 720p video file, it might come out all choppy afterwards and yeah. Just play around it, but just in case, here’s how I set my settings:
You should be good to go!
