If you want or need to go beyond the GIFs created by others, I recommend trying GIF Brewery 3. GIF Brewery also works well with longer files like movies to create GIFs like the one at the top of this article. Second, I create occasional screen recordings for articles like this one, which is far easier with GIF Brewery now than when Federico was using GIF Brewery 2.3 with Reflector. By right-clicking on a clip, I can save it to my Downloads folder, import it into GIF Brewery, and quickly reconvert it to a GIF for my own use. Twitter converts GIFs into MP4 video files.

GIF Brewery 3 also preserves the prior version’s fine-grained control over images and text that can be overlaid on your clip, and adds even more filters that can be applied to each frame. I’m not sure it would be possible given the number of variables involved, but a few presets that could be applied with one click of a button would be nice because some of the settings can be a little confusing for the uninitiated. Fortunately, the developer is working on updating existing tutorials for GIF Brewery 3.Īs with the prior versions, GIF Brewery 3 includes a properties panel that lets you tweak all sorts of settings, including the number of frames, frame delay, color space, and other settings.

Once I got the hang of starting with the video drag handles, and then refining a clip in the frame panel, which was not initially clear to me from the interface or help documentation, I found that this is the most precise way to create a GIF. Ticking the ‘Calculate Frame Count & Delay’ checkbox in the properties panel causes the number of images in the frame panel to update dynamically as you adjust the length of a clip. These two tools can also be used together. You can copy some or all of those frames as ‘Saved’ frames and then reorder or delete individual frames, and render a GIF from just the saved frames. Clicking on the frame management button in the toolbar opens a panel on the left side of the GIF Brewery window with each of the frames of the video clip you are editing. You can also use GIF Brewery’s new frame management system. By dragging the start and end handles, you can select the portion of a longer video file, from which you want to generate a GIF.
