Is a giant pain in the ass.
Seriously, I tried doing it using the resources I had (VLC and GIMP), it took 15 minutes, and I didn't get one thing done. I want to do the Austin dumping beer on Cole from tonight, and don't want to use GifSoup. I captured exactly 2 frames of it, because there's no frame by frame capture to get it off of DVD. So....grrrrrrrrr.
I'm not looking for advice on how to do it, just wanted to blow off steam on the whole process. OK, back to not doing it.

It can be a huge pain in the ass, yeah. I use Photoshop to do it and a few different types of converters to get things to the right format for Photoshop to read - unfortunately, one of my converters always changes the aspect ratio of wide videos, so everything is always skewed. I haven't had the time to go and research different converters to use so I just haven't made any GIFs lately.
Also, timing it correctly is a huge pain in the ass in Photoshop at least.

I've made a couple with GIMP and honestly, I keep forgetting how to do it so I haven't done any lately.

Wait...
You mean...
I thought that you put the video under your pillow at night before you went to sleep...
And then the GIF fairy would come and...
There is a GIF fairy? Right?

Just download VirtualDub, use it to open the video, change the size, framerate, etc to what you want and then export it as an animated GIF. |

Well if you're done with all that, can you make me a gif with the teens gyrating to the Smashing Pumpkins?
I will pay you handsomely.

It is rather hard, to be honest. I made two GIFs for Photoshop threads, and it was a real pain in the ass.
And I needed to modify the speed of the video, reduce the number of frames, convert the frames to a different format, and insert them in proper order with the GIF maker that I used to use.
It can be easier, but I don't have Photoshop.
