Nah I like it better this way
beaten up by Uke using Squiz style :P
anyway heres how I did it
fraps - video capture
kmplayer - frame extraction - .PNG
irfan view - batch resize, crop - .PNG
Paint NET - added text and effects for each frame - I use it only because I like how u can manipulate multiple open images here better than in gimp
GIMP - open as layers, convert to indexed (Floyd Stynberg default conversion), animation optimize for .gif, and save as gif
pretty much how I do all my gifs
it gives the best quality gifs from videos from what I saw so far. And I tried a lot of different shit. Also every proram is free except fraps, but u can get decent ones for video capture that are free. Fraps isn't needed at all
Hope it helps u
