Best way to create Gif? Anonymous
What the easy and best way to create a gif from video files?

not the best way, but i use virtual dub to clip it and leave it in an uncompressed format, then open that with animation shop and edit it to my liking there

The GIMP Animation Package.

There are loads of different apps, each with strengths and weaknesses. The most obvious is PhotoShop/ImageReady. ImageReady can make nice looking gifs using movie files (better then Animation Shop) and you can switch between Image Ready and Photoshop to edit them (it's little known fact that Photoshop has the animation window too and is much nicer to edit stuff in then ImageReady, that's only real job is to export stuff for the web). Also GIMP works and is (legally) free, but you get what you pay for. To properly edit movie files you need Something like Sony Vegas, but there's Virtual Dub which is basic but is also free can should cover everything you need for /gif/. If you want to animate yourself from scratch there's apps ranging from Flash (vector based industry standard) to EasyToon (freeware that makes those nutty black and white gifs you see here)

I downloaded Virtual Dub, i haven't explored all of it yet, but i cant seem to find an option to save as gif.
Do you use this program to make gifs or just to capture the images to make the gif in another program?

You edit the movie in Virtual Dub then use Image Ready (or something like it) to turn it into a gif. There are a few straight movie format converters out there that will save to gif too. Total Video Converter is one, but it's as buggy as hell. You get more control with ImageReady too.

Is there a tutorial for GIMP with GAP for the conversion? I cannot find any that give a step by step direction to the conversion.

Pressing F1 in GIMP hooked me up. Also knowing Image Ready before hand helped me.
