How to Turn a Video into a GIF in Photoshop

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 . On this video Pinsky looks at how you can (currently) do this using Photoshop and some of the things that you should be aware of. First there is the length of the video – a couple of seconds (more or less) is all that gif will give you at the moment on most platforms (this might change in the future and it depends on several unrelated factors).

First you need to get the “Before” and “After” images. In a lot of cases, the “Before” image will be an unedited photo (if we are doing a before/after edited GIF that is). This will be the background layer of any Photoshop file. From here on every change you make to an image should be on a new layer. After all the editing has been done you are left with the “After” image. You will need all these changes to be visible on a single layer to make the “After” Layer. Now, create a new layer on the top of the document and navigate to ‘Image – Apply Image’. Choose “Merged”, “Multiply”, and make sure “Invert” is not checked. This will place a copy of your image onto one layer – t...
