Making animated gifs
Well i wanted to make an animated gif from a movie (easily) so heres how i did it!
Open up your movie in totem, move the slider bar along till you get the frame/s you want and take screenshots of it by pressing Ctrl+s or if you want to use photos etc..
Now you have you screenshots and want put them together, i used this great program here http://www.onyxbits.de/giftedmotion
Just download it either from the site above or the attatched file, cd to where you downloaded it and run the command below, where you will have a easy to use gui to make your animated gifs.
java -jar giftedmotion-1.21.jar
This is a great program and if your feeling generous and small donation would go along way to help them
