# post it!
how do you easily change video files to .gifs? at the moment, i madly press 'capture' then frame each of them.

# Import them
into flash.

Select how many fames a second you want, set the canvas size to the same size as the imported video and export as a movie to gif.

At least thats how I do it.

# yeh, but that's cos it was 24 fps
256 colour 100% dither 0 lossy. This sounds like a challenge... let's see what I can get it down to.

hummm. 676K if I'm to maintain any quality

I would have thought youd get away with 6 frames a second.

Do you have a choice of how many frames a second you want to import when you import it into Image Ready?

# i tried
but all i got was 600 blank, white frames

# it seems picky
I had no success with mpegs, but a cinepak avi seems fine.

and yeah, you can choose to import every 2nd, or every 3rd frame and so on..
