I know /u/Enza animated the banner for WhiteOwlSocialClub but I don't know how.

I made an animated banner for /s/Surveillance with just a globe spinning in the middle - but it would only accept JPGs or PNGs. I don't what is required to upload a GIF. I feel foolish about it, but gave up. /u/d3rr didn't have answers then.

I thought of a hack and I think it might have been used for /s/ConsumeProduct: Have a giant image with each frame, then animate the image huge leaps, to the frame, like a film strip. It would be a pain in the ass to make the image like that and then to code the animation.

I'll have to check out that generator some time. Thanks!

An aPNG is an animated png, you can turn any gif into an animated png! I just made the aPNG transparent (and it was a flying owl), so I made the banner slide to the left and since it’s a transparent aPNG, it looks animated.

You can have any image on your sub animated, not just the banner. You just need to shrink the file size of the aPNG or else it won’t upload.

If anyone wants css from /s/whiteowlsocialclub or /s/Life, lmk!
