Hi peepz, this coming from a guy with poor IT skills. I am learning to create my own GIFs - for better or for worse, because the tech dude that did it for me bailed out. Such is life... Now, so far I have learned to do the simple stuff, as follows: - Find that youtube video you want. - Upload it onto: makeagif.com/- Cut out that part of the video you want as a basic GIF, save it on your PC. - Go and upload your file to: ezgif.com/ and edit the shit out of that GIF, and voilá: Save the result and use at ease (see my avatar). So far, so good. Here´s the problem: -> I would like to do composite GIFs, where I combine and sequence various snippets of different youtube video into one single GIF. Unfortunately, ezgif.com/ doesn´t seem to have that function. Thus: Does any of you peepz know a good, easy-to-handle site where I can do this type of GIF composition ?In advance, many abject thanks for saving my sorry ass on this one. (...and if not, thx anyways !) |

www.online-image-editor.com/gifmaker/This is the one I use to make loops. I usually make a gif, reverse it in ezgif.com and merge both gifs in the link above. It will work the same way for what you want to do.

Thx bro ! Will test it tomorrow. Any questions, can I get back to you ? Sure, but to be honest I just know the basics. Admin is the one who makes lots of gifs for her Tumblr, so she must know a lot more than I do  |

If you have a request I could help you out, especially if it's about Thrones gifs Hi sati, thx for the info ! Checked your tumblr, you do some nice stuff there. Not sure whether I saw there what I am looking for. If you look at my avatar: This is the turtleporn smilie we use over at IWC?. It is three snippets from 2 different youtube videos, spliced into one sequence and then reduced to smiley format. That fusion of snippets is the specific function I am looking for. Re themes: Weeeelll, right now I am working on a couple of elaborate smilies for that idiot Faith Militant fandom over at censoros.org and theit head wonder couple, so it would be controversial material under any circumstance.  Nezzer´s should do it, though. |

You can do what you're asking for quite easily with photoshop or Gimp (which I use). If you've downloaded the video, then that's basically the first step for using either program for making gifs so it might be worth learning how to use them to do it  Bit of a learning curve, but easy enough once you know how. |

Howd. The basic gifs taken from videos are okeydoke already. I set them up on makeagif.com, then I edit them over at ezgif.com/. That part of the learning curve went, thx God. Only step left is the sequencing of diverse snippets into one gif. *Loop* them, if that´s the term. |

Those are the same methods I use to make gifs. online-image-editor is kind of my favorite for everything. I always crop and resize on ezgif because it looks better, but to add text or anything else, I use OIE.
Now if I could afford Photoshop, I'd go nuts with that lol

The lack of good sized gifs of Davos or the Greatjon is astounding. I failed to create one myself.  |

Now if I could afford Photoshop, I'd go nuts with that lol There are um, less than legal ways to obtain it, but if you're not into messing with all that I'd recommend GIMP. That was the first editing program I used and it's pretty user friendly once you get the hang of it. I need to have my PS-endowed laptop tuned up (and I didn't want to bother to dl it on the desktop too), so I opened GIMP again to make my current icon. It was a pain in the ass to color each layer frame-by-frame, but if you skip that part turning layers into gifs is a piece of cake. It's just a difference of using screencaps vs. editing from videos. I use KMPlayer or VLC player for that. Another freeware program I used to use was the Microsoft Gif Animator, an old Windows 95 relic. It was great for editing the timing of existing gifs or combining them because you can easily re-order the frames or adjust the delay of any of them if one in particular needs to be a transition moment. |

I'm into that if it doesn't kill my computer. lol I tried GIMP awhile back, and I couldn't get the hang of it with gifs. It kind of bummed me out, because I would love to start messing with colors in them. I'll have to look in to these other ones you talked about. Thanks! |

Yeah, there are a lot of fake PS downloads with other shit you dnw in there, and then it's a whole rigmarole to get it all installed and registered. I can't really point you to a safe download. When you tried GIMP before, did you have the plug-in for animations? Mine has a Filters>Animations drop-down in the top toolbar, but I think there may also be a Video drop-down menu in other versions. It's been years since I started with GIMP so idr if there's a way to install it with the animation capabilities, but here's a link to the latest version of the extension. |
