How to Make Animated GIFs From Video

The other day, a viewer requested a tutorial on making animated GIFs from video, using Photoshop Elements.  I've been wanting to do a video about this for a while, now seems like a pretty good time!
So here is what I've come up with using the older Photoshop Elements 7.0, as well as, a handy little free program called CamStudio.  I hope you like it!

My FitVlog Day 9 Update & Cycling Allen, Texas

Well, it's Day 9 of my fitness journey.

There isn't much to report.  Except,  I didn't gain a pound over the holiday week.  Pretty amazing, considering the amount of sweetage (sugary cakey stuff) that sat around smelling, well, sweet!!  And somehow, I managed to lose a couple o' pounds.  Not too shabby.  Now I've got to keep it up and then some!

Today, a bike ride happened.  Because it was just plain gorgeous outside and I had lots of energy to burn.  So here's a vid of my short update and some cycling around Allen, Texas.
Enjoy!

Create Animated GIFs With Fading Images Using GIMP! FREE!

Recently, a viewer wondered how to use Gimp (a free image editing software) to create animated GIFs with fading images.  In a previous tutorial, I had shown how to create one using Photoshop Elements 7.0.  The steps involved are somewhat similar, no matter which software is used.

The video above is my newest fading animated GIF tutorial, using one of the best pieces of free image editing software, GIMP!

Enjoy! (^.^)v
