If you are creating your video from scratch, you can use any video editing software that you would like – I create many of GAAP Dynamics’ videos in Camtasia, but you can use Premiere Pro, Vyond, or whichever software with which you’re most comfortable.

I’ve written out the instructions below, as well as created a short instructional video documenting the process!įirst, create or locate the video that you would like to use as the source of your GIF. There are numerous ways to create a gif, but today, I’m going to demonstrate my favorite way – using Photoshop – that is simple, quick, and totally customizable. Whether you’re hoping to increase your GIF usage on your social media platforms, within your website, or to spice up your eLearning courses, a customized GIF is a fun way to show off your company’s personality. GIFs are also a unique and efficient way to demonstrate a process or set of instructions within your eLearning module. GIFs are a great way to add eye-catching movement to a social media post, or to add personality to a blog post on your website. GIFs have become increasingly popular in pop culture, but they are useful for more than just creating viral memes (although, they are pretty fun for that purpose too!). If you’ve used the internet lately, you have almost certainly come across a “GIF” – a sound-free, infinitely-looping video or set of images.
