cool, very helpful and how do I make a gif with a movie scene? Do I have to make screencaps and do I have to copy them chronologically into the frames? How many frames do I need to let's say let someone blow a kiss or something like that? I'd appreciate a tutorial about this issue very much!

I'd recommend using a video to gif converter if you want to make a clip from a movie into a gif. Manually grabbing each frame would take too long. If you search google for "video to gif converter" you should find some programs that will let you do it.

This isn't really true. I use my BitTorrent client to get all of my Linux distros, which are uploaded by via torrent by the original developers. ;)

Hi! This video is so cool, I was following u closely, but mine just wont work!! I haven't a clue what I'm doing wrong, everything is exactly the same until I try to preview it from the desk top, all that opens up is a blank white square no little man on it at all, let alone it moving! =(

You're awesome! I appreciate people taking the time to share knowledge. How cool is that! I need to know how to do this for photos. I want to make a $100 bill wave ... like a flag waving. Can you tell me how to do that?
