Hey, what does /gif/ recommend for making gifs from avi files? I'd like to be able to add my own content to /gif/ rather than just reposting stuff.

how to make a gif-ready clip using Virtual Dub

VDub works only with .avi and .mpg files.
drop your video file into the VDub panel and then follow the method outlines in the gif and then just load your clip into your favorite gif maker.

see part 2

What's /your/ favorite gif maker? I don't have one, and I'm hesitant to just download a bunch of adware crap from the webbyblag.

Part 2

Ulead Gif Animator 5 is probably the easiest to get started with.

File > Open Video
Edit > Resize Image
etc.
File > Save As > GIF File

How smooth will the gif run?

make a few before you ask more questions.

I ask because I've tried before and it didn't run well. Alright I'll try now. Thanks.

Every time I run VirtalDub I always get this fucking message, or I get some goddamn error.

Just made this following your directions. Seems to run a bit slow, any tips on how to make it a bit smoother?

Actually, once it loads properly it seems to run better than I thought.

Try going into the folder where you saved the image sequence and deleting every alternating frame, or every 3rd frame. It tends to make things seem a bit smoother

will do, thanks

okay i know it can be frustrating but i will try to help you figure it out.

>>1236407
download virtualdub mod and try it. also, the xvid codec could be causing a problem in which case you will need to use tmpgenc to make your clip (i will make a tutorial for it later tonight). tmpgenc is good for making clips from WMVs, MKVs MOVs and other files that VDub doesn't like.

>>1236415
looks fine to me. it tried seeing on several platforms and had no slowness probs.

Thanks a ton. I just tried saving a gif and it slowed my computer down like crazy. I think its because the resolution was too big.

next level:

Use Gif Movie Gear to eliminate frames, eliminate redundant pixels, and add transparency.

See step 3 Gif.
Open File
(see the gif file window open and watch it play, note the speed.)
Animation > Unoptimize (gets everything set for Thin)
Animation > Thin > (your choice)
Animation > Optimize
File > Save
(when you close it will ask you to save before quitting, say no)

As you can see, things are a lot less cut-and-dry with these options than when you were just using ULead to make a simple gif.

if you have a WMV or a file just won't cooperate with VDub then use TMPGEnc. I made a big-ass gif that shows you how. once you have it as an AVI you can either open it directly with your gif program or use VDub to further trim it down into a tighter clip.
(and I didn't even bother to watermark this one!)

Just made an awesome gif but its huge. 13MB. Is there anyway to decrease the size without a drop in quality?
>> Anonymous
>>1236489
try the gif movie gear stuff. if it's too large then sacrifices will have to be made.i often have found a 200pixel wide gif to be acceptable.
>> (? 3?) Onsokumaru !!ncYyB/oJlJM
Okay I cut it down from 13MB to 5MB. I'm assuming its still too large because I still can't upload it into /gif/ Hmm...

ithink it's fine. remember, these are just gifs. i had to stop being cecil b demille jr when making them and just settle on making something that was readable.
example attached.
