![]() ![]() for the sake of tutorial (and my sake, since i’m no expert in those programs) we’ll stick to the sharpening that you can achieve with photoshop! there are many programs which you can use to denoise and clean gifs such as topaz, vapoursynth, or avisynth! on tumblr, people like to sharpen their gifs! it makes the gifs seem cleaner and smoother and of a higher quality. and this is the final gif! there’s no sharpening settings on it nor any colouring but it’s ready and working! you can choose to leave it at this! technically, that’s your first step done! if you’re happy with your gif and how it appears, then it’s ready to be saved! click file then export and then save for web! these are the gif saving settings that i use! you can keep the height as much as you want but remember larger gifs have larger file sizes and they may exceed the tumblr upload limit of 10mb! quality often decreases with larger gifs as well! i’ve cropped by gif to a 540px by 326px gif! this is all personal preference <3 now i’m going to crop my gif! the dimensions and ratios of your gif depends on how its going to be laid out on tumblr and there’s a general guide for gifs: all the layers have become one smart object which i can apply filters and colouring on to! this little red line and blue marker helps me slide through the gif and trim the gif down even further to the exact moment i want to keep! now i’m going to turn my attention to the sidebar where the layers are all visible and i’m going to select all the layers before right clicking and hitting convert to smart object! now that i’ve clicked that, the individual frames have been converted to a timeline! and this is what it looks like now! this is where gifmaking can vary for different people! my understanding of this part is not that brilliant so i just follow the simple method i learnt when i first started making gifs! there’s a small symbol that looks like three bars with a line through them and i click them! make sure you have the timeline open in photoshop and you can do that by clicking window in the top bar and then clicking on animation although in some versions of photoshop, the animation option is just called timeline! this is the timeline below! you can use the large inverted triangle to search for a particular scene and then use the smaller halved triangles to bracket the scene you want to clip! so in this instance, i’m creating a gif for whatever is between those two boundaries! then you click ok! once the file has been selected, a small photoshop popup appears again and it’s titled import video frames to layers where it shows the clip with options on the side and a small timeline with ‘clips’ at the bottom! photoshop then opens a file window where you can find your saved clip and select it by pressing open! now we can move to photoshop! i first clicked file then in the dropdown menu i selected import and then video frames to layers. ![]() for screenrec i press alt + s and it comes up with a small window where i can select the screen size that i want to record! i recorded the small clip and it comes up with a small pop up at the end to save the file as an. i’ve found the part of the video that i want to gif and just paused on it! for my purposes, i just use youtube simply because i want to save data and not download entire episodes! ![]() ![]() ts files are the best to use however you will need an additional program such as vapoursynth to deinterlace the videos to make it clearer if you’re making gifs of kpop stages, then. first you need to find a high quality video and i’d recommend 1080p! otherwise you’ll notice patchiness in your gifs especially in different coloured spots a screen recorder / i use screenrec which you can find here! it’s free to use and you can record hd videos! photoshop cc / i use photoshop cc 2017 and you can either buy it or you can download it illegally because in 2021 we are eating the rich how to colour gifs / strong colours, vibrant colours and pale colours there’s isn’t just one correct way to make gifs as so many gif makers on this site use different techniques and software to make their creations so there’s no such thing as doing it wrong! each person has a style that’s suited to them ✨ this is going to be a fairly long and image heavy tutorial so most of it is going to be under the cut! Hello! i recieved an ask yesterday asking how i made and coloured these five hargreeves gifs and i’ve had some people ask me in the past how i make gifs + my colouring and sharpening settings so i thought i’d put together a guide to how i make my gifs! ![]()
