 Hell yeah what's up guys this is CursePike my friends call me Big C. Back in action today I'm going to show you how to create your own GIF or GIF and I'm going to show you how to do it from scratch using Photopea or Photopea it's free software on the internet browser based it allows you to create amazing thumbnails and you can create GIFs and add them into your videos and you can do it for free so I'm going to show you how to do it and here's an example of one I just made with Freedom. All right let's get into this I'm going to delete all of these things we're going to start from scratch okay let's actually go to photopea.com and start with nothing okay so the first step is we're going to go click on this here new project when you do that you get a whole bunch of options you get some templates I'm going to select Facebook event image not because this is a Facebook event but because it has 1920 by 1080 which is a standard thumbnail size and it's a standard video size so it just makes sense although you can make it any size you want also I'm going to change the background from white to transparent very very important point unless you have a background in mind and you can put a background in there don't get me wrong but if you just want the GIF or the GIF to be do its thing without a background make sure this is selected to transparent now click create just like that presto now the next step is we're going to bring in the image or images this can be done with multiple images I'm going to do it with one but keep in mind that you can have it with multiple I'm going to bring in let's bring in these sunglasses this is a cool character I know actually it doesn't have a transparency so I'm going to bring in the freedom one like I did last time I'm going to drag and drop this image on there and it's and it drops to the top left corner okay what I want to do is I'm going to go ahead first off and I'm going to create I'm going to actually change the name of this that's the first thing to do so I'm going to go and double click on it and every GIF inside photopea or photopea and only this program starts with underscore a underscore when you do that that is basically signals to photopea that this is now going to be a GIF or a GIF okay so I've gone ahead and done that presto a underscore underscore a underscore now now you've got that I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to drag and drop that layer onto this little button here where it creates a duplicate copy and then it's going to make a copy and you can even see it says copy there and if I hover over this it says new layer so I'm going to make this with three to make it nice and simple so what's happened here is each one of them when you drag and drop it it creates a it's underscore a underscore freedom and then underscore a underscore freedom copy copy two all right now the first one I the first uh shot on the GIF I want it to be let's say I want it at the bottom here the second one it's right here now I'm going to move it and I'm going to move it into the top just something like this I'm just randomly doing this just to show you what it looks like and then the third one I'm going to click on that and I'm going to move it right here so it's great dead set in the middle and if they're overlapping each other don't worry about it this is a GIF all right or a GIF I don't even you guys in the comments below what is it a GIF or a GIF I don't even know all right so we've got them we've got them labeled to now watch this I'm going to select all three I just hold down the shift key and I've selected all three now we go up here to file we go up here to export as and then you see GIF or GIF is an option click on that and look at that we've got a GIF ready to go if it's too fast dial down the speed like this we're going to go with a slower version if it's not fast enough if you wanted to go bonkers there we go there's bonkers anyways let's let's bring it down to about I don't know let's go down about 60 or something like that that's good enough now I'm going to click on save also keep in mind you can reverse it so if you wanted to go backwards or if you wanted to boomerang probably don't but whatever click on save and now it's going to download it allow downloads and there it is and if I'm going to go to my downloads it's in here somewhere and if I open it well let's open it and step one step two step three I don't have it set to open GIFs but it has successfully created a GIF that's how you do it guys using free software photopia thanks for watching
