Video to .gif program?

Question

I'm looking for software where you can import a short video, and it will convert it to animated .gif. I've seen people with myspace pictures that are basically 5 or 6 second videos, and i would love to be able to convert videos to .gif so i could set it as a background on my phone and it would basically be like having a video background. but thus far I haven't been able to find a program to do it. Any suggestions. Preferably software that has a lot of options when converting the video so i could customize the .gif. Thanks

try a software observed as Honeycam. that's totally basic to apply. that's crucial gif maker which could checklist areas of your show screen - so which you additionally can generate gifs from YouTube movies in case you like - and it facilitates you to edit and upload outcomes.

Answer 3

well this might be a little complicated.

first you must cut some scene with (I'm using vcd cutter) and save it in .Mpeg. than use adobe image ready and import it. but this will cause to many layer. than chose save optimized as, then save it in .gif.



or. you can directly convert your clip to .swf , mp4, or 3gp format using video convert master. these will also works with your phone.



in order to have the smaller one, would be better if you capture frame to frame using cyberlink power dvd, copied and paste in adobe photoshop from layer1 to the end, then save in .psd.

than open your .psd file with adobe image ready. then arrange layer to frame. after finishing your desire animation, then save optimized as gif.



if you still want to have the smallest one, before saving your file, you need to reduce it to 50% by choosing Image than click image size.



you can also use sothink swf quicker to combine two or more gif animations and teks and export to swf, and still having a better combined animation, with smaller file size.



goodluck..
