How to Turn a Video into a GIF in Photoshop If you have a short video which you would like to transform into a gif file and publish on twitter/facbook etc.  Howard Pinsky will show you a pretty quick way of doing this using Photoshop (and we will add some other methods). So you have a cool short video or part of a video you want to turn into a  gif .
