yo whatup bruv , swag 💯 okay so how I ~ makea the gifs 🤌🏻

1. DOWNLOAD

t*rrent -- I go to rarbg. to & get the 720/1080 files . for a 40 min episode this is usually about 1-2gb for the 720 version which is fine tbh to use for making gifs OR I get the one that’s 2-3gb which I only get if I wanna make 500px height gifs. For a 2 hour movie it’s 5-10gb (it’s a lot of space on my computer yea, that’s why I rarely have more than a few films or series on my computer at once, I either transfer them over to my extended drive that’s got 2tb or just delete them altogether)

youtube -- I use this website for it, works a charm; https://www.y2mate.com/youtube/3mtIHg2oowM

2. SCREENSHOTTING

mplayer -- i use this one to screenshot videos with, but I can’t find a decent version of it for pc so I've found this other tutorial for pc;

mpv player -- idk I can't test this one cause I’m on apple but it looks pretty decent

3. PS INSERT

okay from there on I get the screenshots I'd just made into photoshop right here (yes it’s in dutch but it should be in the same spot) file > scripts > load files onto stack :

Add the screenshots I want, make a frame animation from it which will give me a single frame only.

which is why I click on make frames from layers on that little ~ 4 lines on the side.

then you gotta revert the frames cause they will be in the wrong order.

4. CROPPING, SIZING AND SHARPENING

sizing + cropping -- I do it all at once; on the top of the cropping thing you can change it to B x H x resolution (second from the top) & I can choose the size that I want (do note to put it into px !)

sharpening -- I got 2 options I use, doesn't really make that big a difference in my opinion;

1) action dl

go back to the 4 lines on the side; click flatten frames into layers then make sure you’re standing on the first frame in the timeline and also in your little frames thing on the right & then just run the action . Then change it to 0.05 frames per second, add a little coloring to it & voìla !

2) action dl (use the the ‘540px gifs’ one)

this action converts it into a smart object and everything so step one is to go to videotimeline, run the action & if all’s correct it will take you back to frame animation.

delete the first two frames here (they’re double)

make sure these 2 are turned on/visible on all frames, add coloring once again & ur done !

5. DIFFERENCE IN SETTINGS

sharpening -- for the 2 actions above this is the difference;

I guess the second one is better/sharper but I don’t really see it until I REALLY look soo .. first option is less of a hassle in my opinion (altho I did make that second action quiite extensive so it takes out a lot of work) but choose what u will ..

save for web -- settings

these settings are what I usually use but I’m not the biggest expert on them . the only 2 things you should Ever change are the ‘bicubic’ on the bottom right in the image size section, but I couldn’t tell you what the other options really do, I just know some people use different settings there. & the ‘pattern’ one on the top left (’patroon’ cause .. dutch) which u can set to ‘diffusion’ instead which makes this difference;

the difference is mainly visible in the background; it makes it go from blocks in pattern (LEFT) to dots in diffusion (RIGHT); again, choose whatever you will ..

6. FIN

I believe this is it .. all there is to it . idk if you got questions or if parts are unclear but just ask me then .. hope you liked seeing DR3 yo .. embarrassing
