Oh, and make sure the file size is under 8mb otherwise it won’t upload to tumblr properly.Īnd voila! you have a gif you can upload to tumblr and make everyone jel of your mad skillz. just make sure at the bottom it says ‘Forever’ under Looping Options instead of ‘Once’ you can change the settings if you like to see what looks best. To save go to file> save for web and devices. Then you just need to colour it if you like: These are the settings i used, but it differs from gif to gif depending on the quality of the video: To sharpen it go to filter>sharpen>smart sharpen You can immediately save it but i recommend sharpening and colouring it first. if it’s moving, congratulations you now have a gif!!!! To check it’s worked press the little play button again. Next step is to select EVERYTHING by pressing ctrl+alt+A so that it’s all highlighted, and then go to layer>smart objects>convert to smart object Now we need to go back to the bottom right corner of the frames and press this funky lil button (convert to timeline animation): (this step is probably unnecessary in most cases tbh) Now that it’s the right width i’m gonna crop it to get rid of those ugly black bars from the top and bottom of the gif. (268px if it’s two gifs side by side)Īnd when this box pops up change the width to 540px: the recommended post width for tumblr is 540px if you’re uploading one gif. Now we’re gonna crop and resize this baby. If you want the gif to loop click the arrow next to ‘once’ and change it to ‘forever’: Now when you press the little play button in the bottom left it should move. click one of the little black arrows on any frame and choose ‘other’:Īnd choose what you want your time delay to be. Now delete any frames you don’t want/need by selecting them in the frame animation timeline thing at the bottom and dragging them over to the trash bin:Īnd click on ‘select all frames’. Then after it’s changed, press this thing:Īnd then choose ‘make frames from layers’:

you need to go to the bottom right corner of the timeline and press the button with 3 squares on it (convert to frame animation): This is what photoshop looks like after pressing ok. When this window appears find your caps/screencaps folder, select it and press ok

Now your screencaps are done you can close KMPlayer and open photoshop.įirst, go to file>scripts>load multiple DICOM files it’s still taking screencaps, just press ctrl+g to open it again to press ‘stop’) (when you press ‘start’ the frame extraction screen might disappear. Once you’ve found the scene you want to gif, make sure the frame extraction window is open (ctrl+g) and then press ‘start’ when you want to start capping and then ‘stop’ when it’s over. i like my gifs to be smooooooth so mostly i extract every frame, however changing it to every 2 frames looks just as good and your gif will have more ‘action’ in it (because you’re extracting from a longer period of the video - if that makes sense? lol) the only thing i ever tend to change is the number of frames to extract. These are the settings i use when i take screencaps. Press ctrl+g to open the frame extraction window which looks like this:įirst change your extraction location to the folder you just created (caps/screencaps/whatever you called it) and then choose your settings. Then make sure you’ve downloaded the video you want to make the gif from So first of all you need to create a new folder somewhere (i just put mine on the desktop so it’s easily accessible) and name it something like ‘caps’ or ‘screencaps’ photoshop has a habit of randomly not responding. I apologise in advance if this is hard to follow, and also please remember to save after like every single step. it may seem long-winded at first but with practice it becomes much easier and quicker This is not the only way to make gifs, there are probably much much easier ways to do it but this is the method i learned like 5 years ago.
