This little window will come up, and on the drop-down menu, choose “folder” and then click “browse”. Don’t forget you have to click play on the video on the part you want it to cap, it won’t do it on pause. Once you’re finished capturing, click on “stop”.ģ. Now that you have your frames, open Photoshop. You just need to click on “start” and it will start taking caps. Now you’re ready to start screen capturing. Just play around with the settings and see which one is better for you. If you don’t want to do that, you can choose the other options too. It will give you a lot of frames but I like to choose the best ones for my gif, so I always end up deleting at least half of them. On the numbers and size to extract make sure it’s set as “continuously” and “original size”.Īnd finally the frames. I usually choose JPEG but when I want to make a larger gif I choose PNG. If you want to have the best quality possible on your caps, select PNG, but keep in mind that it will take some time to capture. You can leave it like that or you can create a new folder somewhere else. The default folder is “Capture” and you can find it on your Documents. First of all, you need to choose the folder where you want to extract your caps. Most of the settings on that window are important. You can drag it around so if you need to go back to the video to pause/play you don’t have to close the window. (If the “Capture” option doesn’t show for you, then click on Options - Advanced Menu and it will show up after that.)Ģ. Then this window will pop up. Right click on the screen, “ Capture” and then “ Frame:extract”. Open the video you want to gif on KMPlayer. (Click on the miniatures below to enlarge)ġ.
