What do you use for making LFS GIFS? - Jacob - 2014-01-21 09:18

Hello everyone.

I have a problem with GIF makers. I ussualy make gifs online with free gif makers, but.. there is a max size (about 7mb) and i want to make a gif with 110 shots. I downloaded free gif maker but there is still too much size of that gif (about 175mb) which is impossible to upload and post it somewhere.

Can you give me a tip, how to make LFS gifs which you post here in gif section?

(sorry for my english and if this thread is already here)

Thank you, Jardabazos Smile

Hi,

Pipa made a tutorial a few months back. It's based around Photoshop if you can obtain a copy:

Unfortunately not everyone has 300€ for that, or parents who take the blame for an illegal download Wink

I think I've used Virtualdub last time. Which yielded the best results of all my earlier attempts. You just need to drag the first image in and its loads the rest.

Yes , virtualdub , open video file , select the first screenshot in your shots folder , it'll automatically drag the rest like chuck said , you can change size by going to : Video/Filters/add/resize , then File/export as Animated gif.

I use Photoscape for such things.

It works with any pictures (screenshots) but for maximum quality I usually record with Fraps, then bump it into Vegas and export as images.

I eh, never changed from taking 50 - 150 screenshots, resizing them with 'Fast Image Resizer' (drag/drop and it'll create a subfolder where the images are located), then put them through to Easy GIF Animator.

Gifcam! It's a free download and it's great fun. You record whatever it is you want and then it saves it as a gif.

Same as Leon. Must be the easiest way to make a .gif file.

I like the PS way, since you can get a pretty low filesize.

Thank you so much guys Smile I will try every way of creating. I have tried that Gifcam and it is fantastic. Nice and easy Smile but i need to find a way how to speed it up a little bit. Smile

Set it to record at 16 or 33fps. That speeds it up, but also increases size.
