Anyone know how to extract movie clips to turn into GIFS?

[Mastodon]

I used to have a tutorial on extracting parts of a movie using Quicktime and then popping them into GIMP to turn into GIFS but I've lost it.

Can anyone explain it to me? Or does anyone know where I can find another tutorial.

when i used to do that kind of thing i remember using some screen capture software and just outputting it to a gif format... cant remember the program though.

I wouldn't know.

Lol, just kiddin'.

I use a program called SnagIt. It captures a video and divides each frame into images. Then you save the images manually (I do every other or third frame). Its very tedious I know, but I don't know any other way. I save them all into a folder, then import folder as frames with Adobe ImageReady. Then Save Optimized As .
