Making Gifs

Gifs from Videos or an Image Sequence

• If you take video or photos from a phone — these can easily be made into gifs.
• use video to gif if your video is too long you can trim it on a computer in Quicktime.
• for a sequence of photos use gif maker to create a gif.

Gifs from Screen Recording

There’s a number of ways to record a gif from your screen.

If you have a Mac:

• use Quicktime screencapture (keep it shorter than 10 seconds and a small portion of your screen)
• Trim the video in Quicktime to make it a smaller file
• turn the video into a gif using ezgif (you can also use Photoshop, but I feel this usually take too much time)

If you have Windows:

• Download a Screen Recorder of your choice.
• To install on school computers change the file type from .exe to .txt and move the file out of the downloads folder. Once your file is out of the downloads folder, change the file back to .exe and hit install. Sometime a firewall will prevent this, sometimes it seems ok.
