# Sorry to TJ
but how do I convert a movie file to a gif? because i cant do it and its getting annoying! Do I need to have flash or something similar. Id rather something i can just download.

# wow. 2 people have asked already....
i do it by loading the file into a blank movie maker project and saving as avi. then open in p/s and save as gif

# works for mpeg and compressed avi :)
open movie maker then import video
uncompressed avi should load direct into image ready :)

# you can import
.mov and .avi files into Imageready if you have Quicktime installed. You can then optimise and save as a .gif.

I'm fairly sure other .gif animators will let you import movies, but I have only really used Imageready in depth.
