what files do you use to make gifs? they're very smooth and pretty 😢

Thank you! 💙

I used MakeMKV to convert my Blu-ray discs to mkv files.

UPDATE After I ripped them with MakeMKV I ran the MKV files through HandBrake. That gets rid of the black bars as well as makes the file size considerably smaller. I don't remember if I changed any of the default settings other than changing the format to MKV.

I use MPV Player to take one png for every frame of the moment I want. The link goes to a tutorial on how to set it up.

Then I use Krita to turn those screenshots into gifs. Adding filters and such.

I could go into more details if you want (though it might take me a while) but that's the basics. If you have any specific questions I could answer those as well.

🎶✨ when u get this, list 5 songs u like to listen to, publish. then send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers (positivity is cool) 🎶✨

Thank you <3

I like that it's "songs u like to listen to" and not "favorite songs" because then I would never have been able to answer lol. So here's five semi-random picks:

Sometimes When We Touch - Dan Hill

I Try - Macy Gray

Let Me Drown - Orville Peck

The Mechanic - Amigo the Devil

In Our Bedroom After The War - Stars

I made a playlist on Spotify for people who have that.
