Question on converting AVI's to GIFS

by Jeff Zimmerman (TucsonRoyal) on Nov 11, 2009 8:18 PM PST Comment 7 comments

There is a video of Aaron Crow in the AFL on Youtube and I was trying to get it so Kyle can analysis it. Kyle requests that it is a GIF and I understand why. I found that the site Vixy.net will convert Youtube videos to avi's. Now does anyone know of a good and cheep ($10 or less) program for the conversion. It would need to be able to cut the AVI to only the desired length. Thanks for your help.

I assume you mean the projectprospect video. Whoever shot that needs to invest in a tripod.

Just google “convert+avi+to+gif” and you get about thirty results. Some of them are free but even the ones you have to pay for usually have a free trial. Find one that works for your OS and go for it.

I have been and got fustrated after about 5 attempts. Free ones won't cut and one gave me a virus. Just asking if anyone had one to recomend.

I use Ulead GIF Animator.

Unfortunately, it’s not freeware.

Got it to work

1. Download “Download helper” for firefox.
2. Goto youtube and find video. I am having problem with videos over a minute in the second program so keep them under a minute.
3. Use Download and convert with the following settings: Only settings clicked are on the General Tab. Ouput video is “AVI format” and “Video codec” is raw video.
4. Download microsoft animator as described in the above wiki
5 Open the file in the animator and select images needed.
