Celebrity Gif's thread - (Self-made gifs only)

We approved dumpyourphoto for the simple reason that it can accommodate large files.

However, I also suggested gfycat.com as a tool to use in case some of you would like to compress your file sizes. This 46Mb gif created by Smoopy was optimized by gfycat to be only 3Mb, without any loss of quality.



BTW Smoop, excellent work lately. I've downloaded a lot of it.

 

might be time to invest in a better com....

A lot of people seem to be focusing on image hosts and pc specs, but the original complaint was just that the gifs are relatively big in file size which will be true on any image host and on any hardware. But, the whole quality vs file size thing is always going to be a compromise.

And, Dumpyourphoto seems great by the way.

Indeed, I certainly don't want to come off as complaining or put anybody off from making them in the future.

On the subject of optimization, I was thinking it might be useful if the people that make gifs share exactly how they are doing it. Maybe we can find ways to keep the high quality of the gifs and lower the file size. Or maybe we'll just stir up some more contributors. I'll even try some myself.

So, if you want to walk us through how you make yours, head over to the thread (instead of discussing here).

Test using 'gyfcat' got 44Mb down to 3mb, and 40Mb down to 2Mb - That's with up to 30 seconds each of large image size Gifs...
If you hover over the image once on the gfycat page, you will see mine are in the converted video form
and you can click the 'icon under the red dot' to change them instantly to gif format (if needed) with some loss of quality.
The video quality is better (which my thumbs link to), but please tell me if they load as fast as the Gifs.
I can always link my thumbs to the 'Gif' versions.
Thanks Scribe.

 

Amazing compresion, that's what i meant.
Thanks bro!!

 

Instant loading for me for both video and gif.

Edit: But how do you get the thumbnail codes?

 

Do what I did and copy one of Scribes codes of his example .
Scribe may know the direct way from 'gyfcat'.
Once you have made your own gif in gyfcat, copy the url into where Scribes (or mine) went in both places as shown - The URLs are funny names:

For Video result:
URL="http://gfycat.com/DirtyUnfitAiredaleterrier"]http://thumbs.[B]gfycat.com/DirtyUnfitAiredaleterrier[/B]-thumb100.jpg[/IMG[/URL

[I]For Gif result[/I]:
URL="http://[B]gfycat.com/DirtyUnfitAiredaleterrier[/B]#?format=gif"][IMG]http://thumbs.[B]gfycat.com/DirtyUnfitAiredaleterrier[/B]-thumb100.jpg[/IMG[/URL

(I have taken off a couple of the brackets so you can see where to put the URL link into (so the above examples won't obviously work)

Take a full example from Scribe or my 'actual posts' where we used this with gyfcat.

I'm sure Scribe or someone has an easier way. Hope this helps.

 

Take a look in the original thread, I wrote a little bookmarklet that will give you the BBCode you need. But, I'm not sure if it's cool to post them that way yet or not. The last I checked we were just supposed to post a direct link (not a thumb) to the Gfycat page. If we are allowed to post the thumbs like that and you need help with the bookmarklet, just respond in that thread.

 

Yeah that bookmarklet thing http://jsfiddle.net/zytsL/embedded/result/ works well and quickly and in great quality.
I can't see why we can't use this if the gifs are brought from 40 Mb to 2Mb and can be large and 30 seconds long - instantly.
Do we have to wait for Mod ok? If so I will wait, since I don't want to make 3 second, thumbnail size gifs.

 

Just saw this so I think its ok to use from Scribe:

Actually, it looks like Scribe ok'd it in other thread. I didn't notice that:

Though you might want to ask if it can be used as a replacement for an approved host rather than a supplemental one.
