yeah i got each frame by using windows movie maker.

the last one i made has over 350 frames in it, and its so big im having trouble uploading it to sites cus its so big, and also my computer wasn’t able to cope with it so i went to my 2 gb ram laptop and finished it there. now i just gota find a site that holds over 2.6 mb per picture

How do you do that? Take a file from windows movie maker and put it in the GIF maker? Just select the file and it does it automatically?

like under the display that shows the video theres 2 buttens in the same blue colum as the play butten etc, except the 2 buttens are on the other side, just click the one that takes a picture of the frame, then you move on to the next frame and so on.

then when ya got enough frames of what you want put all the frames into a file, then open the .gif maker and then when you open the file click ctrl A to select all the pictures, then carry on and change the delay time to 0, also if you have over 300 frames you will probably need a more powerful computer to cope

It doesn’t run as smooth because of all the frames, the bandwidth is trying to run all of the frames, but since you gave it little time limit it runs slow, and appears laggy.
