Lost Video Island

Hi0 I want to put some videos up, but I don't know how to get a jpeg pic. Can someone please help me out. I would really appreciate it.

[thefilmchick]

Me again. Sorry!

Well, what do you want in terms of a jpeg picture?

Give us a sense of:

Character(s)
Any specific colors you want
Theme (Happy/sad/etc.)
Any specific font you want used
Any specific effect (stripes, like in my icon? Tie-dye? Mosaic look? etc. etc.)
Name of the song, or other title, that you want in the picture

Hi-
I need Jack. I don't really care what it looks like or anything. Can I use the same picture for multiple videos?

[thefilmchick]

Here's a simple Jack icon, to be filled in with the title of the video. If you like it, let me know the title. This resizes well to a smaller size, as well (which is important for the front page.)



As far as using the same picture, I've no idea. I don't, but that's just me. I know certain vidders like Uruviel use a similar style for all their pictures, though.

[foxy9]

Yeah that's perfect! For the title can you just put lost, so I can use it again. Thank you so so much!

Slight edit to the text to have it match the border.

Save it to your hard-drive; upload it in the 'Browse' window when it asks you for a picture.

You're welcome!

[foxy9]

Thanks so much! You're very kind.

No, we ask that each vid have its own picture and also make sure to not name them the same thing or the system will have some issues with that. The easiest thing to do is name your pic the name of your vid (without spaces or any sort of characters) and that way it should upload just fine.

[thefilmchick]

In that case, if you want the video title, let me know.

As long as the next pic has a different picture and isn't named the same thing (the actual file name itself), then this one will be fine as it is.
