You might want to try VirtualDubMod. You can import virtually any type of video file and crop it down and such like.

I'll give it a try, thx!

Is it a free program or $ ?

 

[Mr. Superhero]

It's as free as they come.

Here's a link: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/VirtualDubMod.htm

But you will also need VirtualDub to convert to GIF. It's a long, drawn-out process, believe me...

Kewl, I'll see if I can figure it out.

 

[Mr. Superhero]

You won't be able to. You will need a step-by-step guide, so I'm going to link you to a thread on this other forum I post at. It tells you exactly how to make an animated GIF.

Damn, it's a bit complicated like you say.

I'm still trying to figure it out, thanks for your help!

 

[Mr. Superhero]

Here's a tutorial:

Now, open up VirtualDubMod, and click on the grey program logo, with the red symbol on it. (BTW, for some reason, VDubMod only works within the folder it's in. So if you try 'dragging' the program icon to your desktop in order to create a shortcut, it won't operate.)

Once VDM has opened, click File--->Open Video File--->My Documents--->ISO IFO VOB Files. Once inside, you should see an IFO (InFOmation) file, and a VOB (Video OBject). Click on the VOB, or 'drag' it into the VDM window. You your movie chapter should now be visible.

Located at the bottom of the VDM window, there's a slider which allows you to scroll throughout the chapter. Once you've gotten within the vicinity of what you want to convert to a GIF, you can move the film precisely, frame by frame. To do this, just hit the <or> buttons on your keyboard.

When you've found the beginning of the file, hit the left half arrow button which will MARK where the file begins, then hit the right half arrow button to MARK where it ends.

Next, go to Video--->Filters. Click 'add'; to your left, find 'resize' and double click it. Set your width to 448 and height to 252, then below it, change 'nearest neighbor' to 'Bicubic'. Click OK. Now, the Cropping button in the lower, right hand corner will be accessible. Click it, and crop to remove the black bars. When finished, exit.

Now, got BACK to Video--->Filters. Click 'add' then resize again. Choose your final width (somewhere around 280 and below), make sure it's divisible by 2; then to get your height, divide your width by 1.777. This will give you the correct 16X9 aspect ratio (assuming your height is also divisible by 2 -- if not, select the nearest number).

Now click File---Save As---My Documents--->My AVI Files. Give it a name, then click 'Save.' VDM will then automatically begin converting your VOB file into an AVI file. Exit VirtualDubMod.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Open VirtualDub 1.7.1. Go to Files--->Open Video File--->My Documents--->My AVI Files. Select the file you saved.

Now go to Video--->Frame Rate--->Convert to Frames Per Second--->Enter 15. Exit.

Go to Audio--->Check 'No Audio'. Exit.

Set your markers at the bottom, on at the very beginning, the other, at the end (assuming you've already trimmed the file precisely in VDubMod; if not, do so here).

Click Tools-->Create Animated GIF--->My Documents---Animated GIFS. VirtualDub will then convert your AVI file to a GIF file. Exit VirtualDub.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Open GIF Movie Gear. Click File--->Open--->My Documents--->Animated GIFS. Click your GIF file which should then open in GIF Movie Gear and begin playing. Exit the preview, then click Animation--->Properties--->Set Number Of Iterations to 0 (which will make the GIF loop continuously.)

Click File--->Save. You're done.

Now you've got a fully animated GIF which you can upload to sites like Photobucket

It seems like a venomous task at first, but it's a piece of cake once you get used to it. You just need to persevere, and once you learn how to do it, you can practically insert any DVD, or import any video file from your computer hard-drive, and make some really awesome looking, high-res animated GIFs.

[TheBatman072]

[Heisenberg]

Can I have a gif of the Joker turning at the end of the trailer (let's put a smile on that face...) in a 50x50 format, pleeeaaassseeee.

Can someone please take the "You Idiot" part of this video, (46-48 seconds)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTq6OoOg-zg&feature=related
and at it to my current avvy please?

I tried it, but i can't get it to stay under 80KB.

Could someone please make me an avatar of any of the Scarecrow moments from the Batman: Gotham Knight preview

Anton- I have a tech Q- can you make avatar loops out of youtube vids?

Yeah... I think that's what the others were explaining above though.

 

[Heisenberg]

Could someone please make me a 50x50 avatar of the Scarecrows face from 8:30-8:33 (when it appears on the screen from the white flash) followed by the bits when the Sythes rise up at 7:32-7:33.

If not i wouldnt mind mind just having the bit of Scarecrows face.

 

[Juggernaut33]

Thx a lot!

 

[Heisenberg]

You're welcome.

Can I get this entire scene as a GIF please?

Just a normal gif? Because the whole thing is quite long and doesn't fit to the board regulations.

 

[TheBatman072]

You're welcome.

Yeah. That'd be fine. Regular GIF size, for a sig, would be great. And, if possible, at the end of the scene, make it fade to black. And then start the scene over again.

 

[Armored Avenger]

Thank you so much! Its just what i wanted, except its too large for me (its 22.8 KB, and i can only have 20.0 KB for my avatar)
