A fourth option, Loop Count, allows you to control how many times the GIF repeats (in case you don’t want it repeating endlessly).Ĭreating a video GIF with fluid motion requires carefully choosing the Frame Count and Frame Delay. In most cases, you’ll leave this setting as Normal. The Mode option allows you to generate the clip three different ways: Normal, Reverse, and Palindrome (forward and backward), with all three options looping endlessly. (Consult the chart below if you need a cheat sheet.) The optimal frame delay is directly dependent on the frame rate, and can be determined using this formula: 1 ÷ X * 1000, where X = frame rate per second. Place the scrubber at the start of the segment you want to convert and then, using the right arrow key on your keyboard, count the total number of frames. Alternatively, you can count the frames manually. In this scenario, the ideal frame count is 72 (24 x 3). (You can find out the frame rate of your video by opening it in QuickTime Player and choosing Window -> Show Movie Inspector.) Let’s say the frame rate is 24fps and you have chosen a segment that’s three seconds long. The optimal frame count depends on a number of factors, including the duration of the video and the frame rate of the video.
