What sites do people use to make GIFs? I had to make something in Windows Movie Maker that I want to turn into an avatar sized GIF. Any help would be appreciated!

The good ones don't use sites, they use Photoshop or GIMP :p

I had Jasc Animation Shop but I can't find the disc anywhere for the life of me. This is really distressing me. I have a genius concept and I can't do anything now that I've put it together.

I've downloaded a free trial of Jasc Animation Shop. I'm waiting for my conversion of my AVI to a GIF to finish downloading, hopefully I can open it in Animation Shop once it's downloaded. This is pissing me off.

I can make gifs. Its actually really easy Greg. I have a link to a tutorial to making them in photoshop if you want to have a go?

Or I could make it for you. :spin2:

I have Corel Paint Shop Pro, does the tutorial seem like it would be applicable to that too? They have a lot of features in common. I'll let you know if this works, my file just finished downloading! :love:

Oh poo, um I went to look for the tutorial and the girl on tumblr deleted it. D; Sorry about that! But Photoshop is much easier than it looks, you could probably find some easy tutorials from Google.

I feel like an idiot now. Sorry again. :blush2:

I need to compress the file size now, it's over 2MB :|

Well, this is my GIF, I just can't use it as an avatar (yet...) :laugh:

I've given up trying to make it avatar friendly, it's too hard. Gonna put it in my sig and make a new avatar.

Use animation shop to cut out some frames that arent needed
