TuT Converting Video to GIF

Kurusu · March 31, 2017

Hello everybody, I'll be showing you how to convert a video (assuming you made a signature in a video editing program and it rendered out as a video file) to GIF!

I made my own signature in Sony Vegas, and converted the video to each individual frames. And then made it into a GIF.

The result is this:

So let's get started.

Requirements:

- Photoshop (I use CS6)

- A video file

Procedure:

1. Make sure your video file is encoded in one of these formats (I'm not sure with other file types not included here):

.264, 3GP, 3GPP, AVC, AVI, F4V, FLV, MOV, MPE, MPEG‑1, MPEG‑4, MXF

Also make sure that your video file isn't very big, or else it will NOT load...

Open Photoshop, go to File > Import and then click "Video Frames to Layers...". You can browse for your video and then just leave the settings and click OK.

2. Now, you can mess with the individual layers/frames with tools on Photoshop. But if you're fine with it already, then...

3. Go to File and click "Save for Web". Now this is on CS6. I believe some other versions have File > Export > Save for Web.

4. Once again, you can mess with things around here. You can change how many colors can be used, you can change the resolution. Leave things as is unless edits are necessary. Click Save.

5. You should be greeted with a window where you can browse on where to save. Well, that's your decision.

6. Good job, you're done! You should be able to upload it on sites.

I hope this helped! Thanks for reading.
