Gif Tutorial. (Revised/2)

This is my tutorial.  Hope it helps, and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. :)

• This gif will be made in: Photoshop CS4
• Using: KMPlayer
• Extras: I will be using this PSD(PSD 4).  And I will be using this action to sharpen my layers.  And I’ll be using this video.

This is an example:

500x235 | 8 Frames | 0.14sec | 146 colors | 497 KB

———————————————————————————————————————

• First, open up your video in KMPlayer.  After you open up your video, get to the part you would like to screen cap, and pause it. 
• Press CTRL+G on your keyboard, and something like this should pop up:

• These are the settings I use, and it’s what I recommend.  I have a screencaps folder I use on my desk top, and you can do the same as well, if you would like, haha.  
• After you set your settings, then press start and play your video until the part you wanted screencapped, is done.  Then press CTRL+G again, and press stop.
• Now open up photoshop, (CS3, CS4, or CS5).  Go to File>Scripts>Load Files into Stack.  This window should pop up: 

• 
• Click on browse, and select the files you would like to load, and click okay.
• Once the files have been loaded into a stack, go to window>animation, and a bar should pop up on the bottom.
• Follow these steps in order from 1-3:

• 
• And you should have something like this: 

• 
• You can make it go as fast, or slow as you want.  For me, it depends on how many frames I’m using.  I usually stay between 0.12-0.15.
• Now time to save it!  The fun part, haha.
• Go to file>Save for Web and Devices.
• Match your settings to mine:

• Now if your gif is over 500KB  Follow these steps:

• Make sure to click OK.
• And you’re done! :) 

I apologize if this is confusing, I am bad at explaining, and when I do explain, it takes forever! sdkfjhdk.  So, I hope this helps, once again, and if you have any questions, need help, please don’t hesitate to ask. :)
