It might take a min or two depending on how many screencaps you have. And then click “open”Īnd then Photoshop will start loading all the images and stack them all in one file. File > Scripts > Load Files into Stackįind your screencaps folder and select all the caps you want to gif. Okay, if you weren’t on a mac and/or you used a different program for screencapping, the rest of the tutorial starts again now~ See, mpv made all the screenshots for you! So it’ll play through frame by frame kind of sloooowly, and then when you want it to STOP screencapping, press Option + S again.
#GIF FOR MAC MOVIE#
It’ll now start screencapping the movie frame by frame in your designated folder! Now, with the movie paused at the start of the clip you want to gif, press Option + S and then start playing the movie. So let’s find a point in the movie that we want to gif. These keys really help you fine tune where exactly in the movie you need to get to. Also, the arrow keys go back and forward by one frame. Most importantly, the up and down arrows go forward and backward by 1 minute and the left and right arrows go forward and backward by 5 seconds. Okay now that you’ve got your video opened, here’s a cheat sheet for the keyboard shortcuts for mpv. Okay so open up your video file in mpv (either drag the file into mpv or go to File > Open File.) Not sure if it matters, but it can’t hurt! I recommend closing mpv and reopening it again. You’re all set to take screencaps with mpv! (File > Save) and then you can close TextEdit. Do whatever you’d like, but just make sure the location in the file here matches up to the pathway of your screencaps folder~) it doesn’t have to be in /Movies/Screenshots like mine. (or change the whole file pathway to whatever location you’re using as your screencaps folder. The file will open up in TextEdit and you’re gonna want to change the part that’s highlighted here (YOURNAMEHERE) to your computer’s user name : Right click, Open With > OtherĪnd then you’re gonna search for the program “TextEdit” (click Applications to make sure your mac just searches for apps) and click OPENīam. Now you’re gonna open this mpv.conf file with TextEdit (or any other text editing program you like). Download that and drag it into this ^^^^^^ folder (mpv) that just popped up.
#GIF FOR MAC INSTALL#
So after you install mpv, go to mpv > Preferences I made mine in my “Movies” folder and titled it ”Screenshots” Select the 0.29.0 version because later versions on macs have a glitch where there are duplicate screenshots.įirst, you want to create a new folder that you’ll want mpv to save its screenshots in. But once you set this up, you’re done! You’ll never have to worry about tweaking the settings ever again and the program is so efficient for making screencaps so I feel it’s worth it.įirst download it here. Now this next bit sounds complicated, but I promise it’s not MPV doesn’t have its preferences/user configuration built into the program exactly-you have to make your own configuration text file and then plop it into the appropriate folder. You’ll need to set up your preferences first though to make your screencapping more efficient and higher quality (because by default, it doesn’t save screencaps you take in. It’s a nifty little program to watch videos of all different formats (like. UPDATE: For installing on a PC, check out my video tutorial here. So if you already have your own screencapping program that you like, you can do that on your own and just skip the following part of the tutorial:

Check out this tutorial on how to make screencaps with that program. I have a mac and I use a program called mpv to take screencaps. Once you’ve got the file you want to gif, you’re gonna need to open it up in a video player that takes continuous screenshots.
#GIF FOR MAC 720P#
Even if it takes longer to download a 1080p movie versus a 720p one, it’s worth it. Always always always try to get a 1080p copy. ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ NOTE ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ You’ll want the video file you’re making gifs out of to be 1080p.
I use PS CC 2017, but as long as you have the video timeline feature you should be fine.
#GIF FOR MAC ARCHIVE#
BUT I recently managed to find an archive of the tutorial ( thanks to the wayback machine archive site - a LIFESAVER), so here it is again! ♥︎ So without further ado, here’s a tutorial on how I make my gifs (including how to take screencaps) 🎉 I noticed that it’s kind of hard to find a thorough step-by-step tutorial out there so I hope this helps! Back due to popular demand!! Here’s a reupload of my gif making tutorial! 🤗After my blog was terminated by tumblr for copyright reasons, this tutorial was deleted along with it because it had a “keep reading” cut :( That really bummed me out because I spent HOURS working on this.
