How to make a video clip into .gif animation?

[Sparks!]

I've seen a fair few .gif animations of a video, so it plays like the video, but obviously is a web image that can go on web sites etc.

Is that done by taking a frame by frame screen shot then pasting into some gif animation program? Or is there a program that can convert short clips into animations?

Hope someone knows how

I used to be able to do it. I can't remember off the top of my head how it's done again though.

I'll look into it when I get home from work if nobody has answered by then.

It can be done using graphics packages such as photoshop and paint shop pro. however for people such as yourself who have little or no expirence in these packages and for whom learning them is a bit excessive just to make a single gif, applications such as this have been created:

On my old computer I could make gifs with a free package found on google (gif animation software?) but they only gave you 30 free goes then you were supposed to pay a fee (or re-register ).

The results were disappointing if you tried anything over - ambitious - but potential was there!

yes it is, however getting the frame rate, quality, and image size right takes some fiddling.
if you've ever used premier before then its really no problem to do

I'll re-install premier later and have a play, cheers
