Introduction Help

[whodat07]

I've been reading on how to convert this video into an introduction and there are so many different ways it's confusing me between using a  gif, making a seperate color pallette, etc....i've downloaded all kinds of programs in the process (programs to rip frames, do batch conversions to pcx, irfanview, MiM, Inzomnia viewer, MWC...you get the point).. I feel like some sort of leeching noob, but I think I've taken a fair shot at this (and I need to study for my college exams for the next couple days  ) and it's time for me to ask if someone could please just put the intro together for me..I've put everything in a sendspace files -
the regular images w/ song: http://www.sendspace.com/file/5i2yka

If you want me to upload the pcx version of the images, i can do that upon request

If there are too many images to make an intro out of, can you cut it off right between 1:29 and 1:30 of this video://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvMidODNehs..

I tried to provide much as i can to make this as painless as possible for someone whos a pro at this kind of stuff and thanks so much for whoever helps

.... Uh...
I started writing up a starter's walkthrough, but I realized - "cut it to 1:30 if it's too long" ? 273 megs for your archive ? Are you insane ?
First, this will take a huge ass long time to load your Mugen. Then, it will last one minute and a half - and that's just the shortened version. And finally, the chance of the music being synchronized correctly is at least -100% because Mugen will just never load the entire thing with a finger snap.

This is simply something that cannot be done. The process itself is fairly simple because it's the same thing over and again for every single frame of the video and it's not a really hard process (reduce color count to 256 colors, edit the palette to switch the "background" color, the one that Mugen will consider to be transparent, to the last slot of the palette or the first depending on which software you're using - this is something most image editing software that isn't just MSPaint can do, some can even batch process it)
... But doing that for a video that lasts one minute and a half (only speaking about the reduced version) is just way too long.

The only advice I can give you is to start with something much smaller. A short animation that lasts less than 5 seconds, like an original animated logo or something. This will allow you to get the hang of it without feeling like it will take ages - because really, the process itself is simple, the only thing that will be more difficult when you have never done this before will be to insert it in the .sff file. but once you'll be past that, it will be a breeze. For a five second animation. Then something a little longer - 10, 25, 40 seconds at most. One minute and a half ? Never gonna happen. Mugen can't even take it.
Don't sweat it, it's pretty normal if you couldn't do it - nobody would. Just try with something else, something actually doable.

i actually based it off of this mugen intro which is around 1:30 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x78oc2Bc9q0.....you're telling me there's no way i can emulate what they did?

Not as the first thing you'll do on Mugen, and not in a fingersnap.
