Detailed method

Requirements,

• Ulead GIF animator
• GOM player

Select the video from which you want to make a GIF clip. Preferably use DVD rip video for good quality GIF. Run the video with GOM player , Click control panel, advance capture and set JPEG quality highest, also enter no. of images you want in capture.

I have selected JPEG quality 255 and Burst capture images 30 . Also mention the directory you want to save the captured images. When the video is running click on Burst capture. You will get 30 no.s of images which will be saved in designated folder/directory.

Now open the Ulead GIF animator , on first screen enter the size and width of the video clip. Click next

Select the JPEG images for which you will be making the animation. Click open and then next.

Set the time delay between the frames. click next and finish

you get a screen as below, with all the caps selected in bottom panel, I have selected 19 pictures.

Keep the required size of image with the help of selection tool, select the area on one picture and press CTR-R.

you can view the animation on preview window, if not suitable you can re-edit by pressing CTR-Z.

To change the size of image by edit/resize image and giving required dimensions. This is helpful for reducing the size of GIF file.

To Reduce the size of GIF file, delete the similar looking frames from the bottom panel. Add text to image click on text tool, enter the required text in the new window and click OK

With help of CTR C and CTR V function, copy this text to other pictures also in the bottom panel

I have deleted intermittent pictures so that I have only 15 pictures, this has reduced the size of my GIF file.

Please save the file as GIF by file/save as/gif

Here is the sample GIF created.
