As a bonus, I figured some people may be interested in a recording of me creating some of these: https://peertube.wtf/w/3dPT4zsEqSCTTsUczBReoz. Note that this is absolutely not a tutorial. This is unscripted, unstructured, unrehearsed, unnarrated, uncaptioned, etc. Just me recording my screen for about 30 minutes while I make 5 GIFs, thus passively demonstrating my exact process. Well, my process as of last week. I have streamlined things a bit since then, but this is still a decent demonstration. Any tips or criticism you have for me to help improve my process are also welcome!
With all that said, I have been working on a text-based tutorial of my process, which you should be able to follow to make a GIF from scratch without using any of my template files that you see me making use of in that video. Expect me to post that on [email protected] when it is ready.
