"That's probably because it's not from a porn movie. And it's still less grainy and distorted than the other version that was posted here yesterday"

ok thats one of the things i'm talking about, what do you do to make them less grainy and distorted?

and one more question, Jhoh! which program do you use to make your gifs?
>> Jhoh! !9J6Xe7Aqf.
I use ImageReady. The gif was less distorted because I recapped a video from youtube and made a gif from that.

A lot of tricks are required sometimes, like using realalternative to open an rm video before opening the video you want to cap, using some desktop video capture program, then using imageready to cap a gif from that. It can get complicated.

lol wow your right, all that does sound a bit complicated. but thank you for explaing
>> Iananan
also using videodownloader or keepvid.com on youtube, then converting the .flv using mediacoder to .avi

then importing it straight into imageready works

Another trick is to reduce the framerate, lets frames = smaller size. A gif runs at about 8 fps, so anything more than that is overkill, and you can get away with a bit less (though it'll end up speeding up the animation, fix this by increasing the delay between frames). A tool I've found useful is VirtualDub, no idea where i got it from, but basically you can use it to cut parts of movies, increase/decrease frame rates, change color depth, change compression type, and a couple other things.

I have relatively little experience, but I've already found that you can get by very decently with Fraps, VirtualDubMod and ImageReady.

Fraps it if it isn't already a video file, then in VirtualDubMod, crop it and go to File > Save Image Sequence, then in ImageReady, go to File > Import > Folder as Frames. ImageReady uses "Bounding Box" and "Redundant Pixel Removal" by default, which are each a must for getting a decent file size.

Also, I find ACDSee to be a very quick way to batch resize/convert images.

And to wrench videos from the cold steely hands of the internets, use Firefox and go to Tools > Page Info > Media tab, and/or get a download manager, and/or get this Firefox extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2390/

And that's that. Really not that difficult, just wordy and involves a bunch of different programs.

The only trouble I ever have is with incompatible video formats. Anybody know any good, free/popular apps to convert .mov and rarer formats to avi or mpg? I can never find any, and end up using some free trial version of some crappy thing I find on Google.

P.S.
Remember, to get your GIF, save out of ImageReady with File > Save Optimized As...
And if it's still too big, mess with stuff in the Optimize window.

I wish we had mods here so this thread could be stickied.
