This is probably going to be complicatedbut how would I go about making an animated gif from a YouTube clip? I am guessing I need to download the clip somehow do some converting of files from one format to another and then some hard and painstaking graft selecting the few frames that I actually want to use from the billions of frames in the clip.
Is this about the sum of it or am I missing something?

what are you using?if you're using image ready or CS3 photoshop, you can import a .mov or part of a mov as frames. File.Import. I think.
use vixy.net/ to convert the youtube link into a downloadable mov or avi. I'd go for mov as sometimes avi's don't work for some reason.

That link looks like just what I need :DI'm on a mac using CS3 - so no ImageReady anymore. But yes there is an option to import Video frames as layers in Photoshop so I'll give it a go! Many thanks for that :D

for short ones i usually take screenshots, then crop it to the vid size and then line the next one up uncroppedand they eventually fit into place automatically. ive never done a smooth long one though so i wouldnt advise screenshots for that.

That was what I wondered if people didBut I've just tried vixy and Photoshop/import and the brilliant thing is that Photoshop let me just import a selection of frames as layers so I don't have to wade through 100s of layers just to find the 20 or so I need. That was my biggest fear. Vixy is so quick as well!
