A Slickk Guide: How to make gifs for annotations and forums Lyrics by Slickk

Prelude
This guide is to show you how I personally make .gifs! This is from a guy who uses a 2013 Mac, with Adobe Photoshop. A little bit of background on me can be found here. Lets get started!
My step by step guide to making gifs
Most Mac's have Quicktime Player as an application. Go ahead and open that up…
Now right click and go to new screen recording…
Next you record whatever is on your screen that you need to record. This can be you typing something in chat, this can be from a youtube video, anything you can watch happen on your screen…
For example "hi freeus" ;)
Next you right click on QuickTime again and hit "Stop Screen Recording"…
and you save your video
Now time to open up the video in Photoshop.. Go to file... Import.. Video Frames to Layers (There is no keyboard shortcut for it which is really annoying!)
Next you start getting tricky. Your video will have lots of frames from the recording. The more frames the smoother the video will be but the larger the file size will be. I almost always choose 8 as my magic number. Not too choppy but also not a huge file if you know what you are doing!
Next you have to make sure you have the timeline open or making gifs is literally impossible.
Now on the timeline there are 3 important elements to recognize. The red arrow is how long you are to remain on a particular frame this number will be .02 by default but I always change the number to .02 greater than the number of frames I took out. The blue arrow is a frame, this is represented by a layer in photoshop, you can delete an individual frame or a set of frames by selecting them and deleting. This allows you to cut out stuff you don’t want in the .gif. The Green arrow is how many times the gif repeats! You can have it go on forever, once, or sixty nine times, whatever suits you (I always do forever tho).
Once you have your gif suited to your liking you need to go to File.. Save for Web..
Now for the hardest part… DONT GET SCARED! This looks like some star trek shit with all sorts of stuff you don’t know about but it is not as hard as it looks. At the bottom left you can see a weird number… This is the file size. Now on the bottom right you have your image size. This is really important for lowering the file size you see on the bottom left! At the top right there are 2 really important things to focus on, the colors (256, 128, 64) and Lossy (will be at 0 by default). These are your marginal file size fixers!
Now you are almost there make sure your gif looks and runs how it is supposed to by going to Preview… It will open a window like this
Once you do this, congratulations save the file and upload it to whatever website you want.
