Gabe Phillips Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Hi, I was wondering if someone could tell me the best and easiest way to make a gif from video. Cheers Gabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Keith Walters Posted April 13, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted April 13, 2015 I presume you mean an animated GIF. The freeware video editor Avidemux allows you to save video clips as a string of still images (either JPEG or Bitmapped). You can then use a separate program to convert your selected images to an animated GIF. I normally use Adobe Photo-Paint to convert stills to animated GIFs, as it allows lots of tricks to cut down the file size. However, there are numerous freeware packages available that can also do this, with varying degrees of efficiency. if you GOOGLE animated gif maker freeware you'll turn up lots of them, but I've never used any recent ones. However I used to have a freeware package about 10 years ago that produced pretty good results; I would imagine things have moved on from there. Be warned: use as few frames per second as is possible, otherwise your files will be gigantic :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is another option, but you'll find it's better to edit your own set of stills and then get those converted, as you can drastically reduce the file size that way.
