(i’m not familiar with macs, so mac users, you’ll have to poke around on your own to see if there’s a similar screen recording program available for you). Some people torrent or download full episodes of shows in high quality, but personally, i find the easiest method is to use the xbox windows app to record my computer screen while i’m playing a video on netflix, youtube, etc. you can make do with lower res videos if you absolutely have to (god knows i do when i’m giffing matteo martari in obscure italian tv shows that are only available as shitty streams for people outside italy lmao), but try to find an hd version if at all possible. the higher quality the video, the higher quality the gif. Now, first thing’s first: you need a high quality video clip to gif from. There are loads of great coloring tutorials out there by people who are better at it than i am, but the rest of the gifmaking process is shown below! i might have overexplained some stuff, so hopefully if you’ve never made a gif in your life, this tutorial will be just as helpful to you as to an experienced gifmaker who’s just curious about some of the settings i use if you want to make a really nice looking gifset you MUST add coloring to it - i would never upload this gif completely uncolored like this, i only left it out in this instance because it’s not part of the tutorial. Note: i will not be covering coloring in this tutorial because i personally tend to use psds that other tumblr users have created and shared ( this psd pack is by far my favorite, i use it for 90% of my gifs - just remember to check the uploader’s terms of use before downloading psds for your own use to make sure it’s okay!) rather than doing my own coloring. Today i’ll be showing you how to make this gif!
