- | ======Creating an Animated Gif and Inserting it Into PebblePad as an Asset====== | ||
- | |||
- | A gif is a series of image frames that are constantly repeating to form a moving image. Gifs play automatically and don't have to be loaded to watch like a video file. They're useful for catching attention and illustrating certain concepts. For example, they're often used as memes to add humour or to illustrate certain concepts quickly. | ||
- | |||
- | There are two ways to make a gif: from an existing video or from scratch using a series of images. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Using existing videos ==== | ||
- | There are many resources for making gifs using video clips from popular video sites or from personal **video files**. One of the more popular resources is [[http://giphy.com/create/gifmaker|Giphy]]. You can paste in a URL from YouTube (or another video source) as well as upload your own video files to make gifs with this tool. | ||

- | |||
- | ==== Using separate images ==== | ||
- | Gifs can also be created from a series of images using Photoshop. A blog tutorial can be found [[http://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/how-to-create-animated-gif-quick-tip-ht#sm.000000gcfxdchgdexu48m87jeqpj1|here]] and a video tutorial can be found below: {{youtube>ot5GwpQPjF0?medium}}. | ||
