I'm not posting my new gifs here anymore since I make so goddamn many of them, but this thread was originally supposed to be about learning how to make gifs. I'm continually improving at it and have learned some new techniques recently. I'll make an effort post about it later.

In the meantime have a gif

May as well post my current workflow for making these. I'm constantly iterating on this but this is what I do currently.

  1. Pick out something i want to make
  2. Load the episode into Premiere, or rarely, if I'm combining footage from multiple episodes, load em all in.
  3. Do all my editing work in Premiere. This often involves going frame by frame to get the exact look I want.
  4. Export a high quality mpeg (usually 720p) once I'm done editing.
  5. Load the mpeg into Photoshop as a frame animation.
  6. Occasionally, I do additional editing in Photoshop, but that's only in special cases.
  7. Manually consolidate identical or near-identical frames to reduce file size.
  8. Bring up the gif export window.
  9. Adjust palette, number of colors, dithering, transparency, and compression until I get it looking as good as I can while staying under 3 mb. This is sometimes the most difficult and time consuming step.
  10. Export the gif and view it in a browser. Sometimes at this point I'll find stuff I want to revise and go back and change it.
  11. I'm done now

I make so many of these that I don't bother posting most of them here anymore. So here's some highlights from my recent stuff. All gifs are under 3 mb.
