you can do gifs with every video format...given that your video editor are able to handle all of them

Oh good, thanks. I can't get Sony Vegas 10 to accept AVI files, so it's WMV or nothing for me.

how about converting your avi in wmv then?...just use the windows movie maker on your system...

but even if you will get an wmv vegas seems has problems with making gifs anyway

oh that's ok guys's i found: Movie to AGIF freeware works very well. A single exe :-)

you have "Sony Vegas"...so you got all what you need

sony vegas only export as a multi-pict sequence in separate individial fram files.

No photoshop unless you want to shoop the images before making the gif. Photoshop use to come with a program
called image ready which was a gif creator but they haven't included that since like version 3 or thereabouts. Look around for Jasc Animation shop 3. I've used that same program and version since '07 08'ish. For extracting the images I use Adobe After Effects and export as png's.

So for that gif I just uploaded I just imported the clip into After Effects found the scene I wanted and spliced it and resized so only stephanie was in the frame and retimed the composition to 9 frames and exported as png. Then I loaded up Jasc and imported the images and did the usual timing and resizing and then save as gif.

Sounds complicated and time consuming but once you do it a few times it's as easy as breathing.

I don't seem to have answered that from a while ago. I use JAS all the time on windows 7 64bit. So far the program hasn't failed me yet.
