Video to GIF
This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels
Summary
Video to GIF converter converts video clips into animations that can be played automatically in almost any application. GIFs have no audio and only support 256 colors per frame, so the quality is more limited than video. To keep the file size, usually the duration is shortened, the resolution is reduced, and the frame rate is lowered. A special color palette helps to produce a more neat gradation.
