Video to GIF converter

I got some video files I would like to turn into GIFs, some of them are up to 40 sec long so won't be the smallest GIFS out there. I haven't really tinkered with this before, so wondering if anyone has a suggestion on what to use for this, pref on freeware.

 

slow decoding of GIF images

Hello again, Adi,

Thank you for performing the troubleshooting steps. I have done research on this and animated GIF support is still fairly new and also somewhat demanding on phones.

You said this was tested on imgur.com, but are there any other websites you are able to load GIFs from and have them work fine? It may be issues with that one website and it is worth a shot to try out others if you do have the time.

Animated GIFs are fully supported, but they do require resources that some phones may not be able to handle while multi-tasking. I tried out a GIF, an animated one, on a DELL Venue Pro. It skipped occasionally and was a small GIF. It did not, however,
come to an empty page.

If you search
GIF on the suggestions page for Windows Phone 7, many results come up. I recommending adding your votes to the list, even to just improve GIF support.

Best regards,

 

GIF & Video Sharing in Windows 10

Been having some trouble lately when trying to access gifs and videos on one of my networked pcs.

For sake of this discussion, lets name them PC1 and PC2.

Videos and GIFs are created on PC1 and saved in a folder which is then shared on the network.

These Videos and Gifs are visible on PC2 once the folder is shared. Files are playabe, display thumbnails etc.

However, when I add any new gifs or videos to the same folder on PC1, I can't access them from PC2. They are visible, but don't behave the way they should. (Thumbnails don't show, and I get an error "We can't open this file" when trying to open the GIF).

JPGs and PDFs seem to work fine, though.

Notice how for IMG_0001.GIF the thumbnail is displayed correctly, but for IMG_0002.GIF it is not.

IMG_0002.GIF was added to the folder after performing the "Share" action. Ticket.pdf (which was also added subsequent to the share action) works fine.

Can anyone please help me with the above?

Thank you!
