hi, I was wondering how did you cover the tv series credits text in the third gif ?

Hiya, been meaning to answer this for days, sorry for the delay <3

Before we get into it, let me just say that this tutorial will only make sense if 1) you're already familiar with gifmaking basics and 2) you edit in Timeline Mode.

Make your gif as you normally would, sharpen, colour, etc. Then we can get right into it.

First thing you gotta do is Duplicate your video layer/video group depending on your colouring style. (If you keep your colouring layers in a separate folder, make sure both clips are underneath it.)

Now that we have two videos, we'll leave the bottom one alone and add the blurring filter onto our duplicate from Filter -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur:

It's a personal choice how strong you want the blur to be, I usually go with anywhere between 3-5, depending on the quality of the footage and the size of the area I want to blur out.

And if you've done everything correctly, you should see something like this:

And this is where the magic happens. We add a Layer Mask to our duplicate as so:

Then, clicking onto the mask itself, using a black Paint Bucket tool we make the whole thing invisible, then using a white Brush tool we draw on the text to make the blur layer visible only in that area and nowhere else. (Make sure to set your brush's hardness to 0%, keeping the opacity on 100%.)

After you covered the whole text area, your Layer Mask should be looking something like this:

Also note that you can just use the Marquee (Selection) tool and a white Paint Bucket for similar results and quicker editing, I just personally prefer the way it looks with the brush.

Now, here is the trickier part. If you have a gif with multiple credits popping up at different times and you don't wanna keep the blur there when there is nothing underneath, you gotta toggle the ends and beginnings of the duplicate — in this case, duplicates.

Just repeat the same steps for all the separate parts you need to cover up and make sure you have different duplicate videos for all of them. Then adjust the ends of the clips on your Timeline according to where they need to be visible.

And ta-da! Your gif is all done and there are no pesky credits in sight.

I hope this was helpful and if you have any more questions feel free to shoot me another ask <3

No Filter Needed: Blur Pores on the Nose in Seconds with This Makeup Artist Trick!

youtube

Do you have visible pores on your nose that never seem to smooth out, no matter what primer or foundation you use?

Today I’m showing you a technique that might seem obvious at first - but with a small tweak, it goes from great to game-changing. It’s my favourite way to create that blurred, airbrushed finish without filters or heavy layers of product.

Let’s clear something up first, because this gets confused all the time:

Deep pores are not blackheads. Blackheads are clogged pores filled with oxidised oil and dead skin, they sit above the pore opening and often feel slightly raised. This is why foundation can cling to them and enhance texture.

Deep pores, on the other hand, are just enlarged openings often caused by oily skin over time. When you apply makeup over them, they don’t create bumps, and the finish can actually look smooth and even once properly prepped. That’s a really easy way to tell the difference:

Blackheads create texture. Deep pores create shadows.

If you do have blackheads, products like salicylic acid, BHA pads, or gentle chemical exfoliants can help dissolve the buildup and make them less visible over time. But if you’re just dealing with dark-looking or enlarged pores, this makeup technique will be your best friend.

I’d love to hear from you: Have you tried this technique before? Do you have a go-to pore-blurring product? Reblog and tag me or drop a comment below, I’ve missed chatting with you all here!
