Conpsoft VideoToGIF

Have you ever wondered how the funny GIFs you see online are made? If the answer is yes, then that curiosity is what led you here. Extracting GIFs out of larger videos is not a difficult job, and there are lots of tools for this purpose. Conpsoft VideoToGIF is one example of an application that lets you pull animations out of videos without sacrificing much of the quality aspect.

In order for a GIF to be created, one must isolate a certain part of the video. That can be achieved using start and end timestamps. Conpsoft VideoToGIF offers two ways of determining a GIF interval. The first method is based on the previewing of the video, where the user must use the selection buttons from the toolbar to mark the exact moments as the clip runs.

The second method is purely manual, allowing one to drag the colored pointers until the desired start/end times were reached. Previewing an isolated segment is also possible, helping the user make sure the GIF is acceptable or not.

Before cutting out the desired segment, one can apply various filters and watermarks in order to customize or protect their work. Your GIFs can sport red, blue, or green overlays, or have their original colors inverted. Basic filters like grayscale, sharpen, brighten, and black/white can also be deployed.

Watermarks can be applied either as text or pictures. Both types are fully customizable, and each has a specific menu that lets you change a watermark's position, font, and color, as well as the width and transparency.

If you thought that GIFs require an insurmountable amount of effort to create, you were wrong. Conpsoft VideoToGIF proves that creating such content requires nothing more than a smidgen of attention and time. Throw in the filters and watermarks features, and you're ready to build your own GIF collection.
