SEQUENCE PICTURES TO GIF MOVIE

We position the cursor at the end of the movie we want to cut, that is to say 5: 27 + 00, or we calculate its frames (5 * 60 = 300 + 27 = 327 * 24 = 7848) With the left mouse button we select the video and audio track (when selecting a track, always click in the center, otherwise the side handles are selected), holding down the SHIFT button, and we press the SHIFT+K keys to cut Or calculate the position directly, obtaining the number of seconds (5 * 60 = 300 + 24 = 324) and multiplying them by the number of frames per second (324 * 24 frames per second = 7776), writing the result in the timeline and pressing ENTER Let us now cut out the portion of the movie that we want to convert into a gif: we can position the cursor, which is located above the channels, corresponding to the value 5:24+00 Select the video strip and press '.' in the numeric keypad to adapt its view to the window (you can use the mouse wheel later to better resize it) press the minus key '-' on the numeric keypadĭrag the slider of the bar, located at the bottom, to center the movie.use the mouse wheel to zoom out (scrolling many times :D).To do this we have multiple possibilities: 2+16 etc., which correspond to the 'number of seconds + the number of frames', in order to work more comfortably on the movie we therefore need to zoom out of the movie. The portion of the movie that interests us ranges from 5:24 to 5:27 minutes but we see above 0+01, 0+08. The number of frames per second of the video is 24, so we set this value in the 'Frame Rate' field of the 'Output Properties' tab, in the Properties Window at the top right

We import the movie 'Spring' with Add > MovieĪnd load it into the channels of the Video Sequencer. We start Blender and create with File > New> Video Editing a new project with the 'Video Editing' workspace already selected You can get a gif from both a movie and a sequence of images, which can contain for example an animation created with Blender (therefore indirectly we also answer the question 'how to render animations created in Blender in gif format'), in our case we will save in gif format a piece (any one, without any particular meaning) of the short film Spring, made by the Blender Animation Studio (in our case the resolution of the movie is 1280x536 with 24 frames per second). With the advent of social networks, chats, and advanced messaging (Whatsapp, Telegram, Messenger etc.) and the spread of MEME fashion, however, the importance of spreading animated graphic files that were light and readable by all players, thus causing the revival of the GIF format. The Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) was invented many years ago, in 1987, and in the 1990s it was one of the few methods to insert an animation into an html page, but later fell into disuse due to the emergence of new technologies, such as Flash and HTML5.
