Yesterday: GIFs are great! But actually making them kinda sucks.
nowadays: GIFs are great! And any video (or burst!) on your iOS device can be GIFFed,edited, and posted using the Tumblr app.
Here’s how:
Open a modern photo post.
Pick a video (or a burst!).
Poof. Now, or it’s a GIF.
You can crop it. Zoom it. Trim it. invent it fast. invent it slow. invent it loop. invent it rebound back and forth. invent a whole bunch and arrange them into a photoset. See what other people are making over in the #made with tumblr search,then go occupy fun with this thing already. Available on iOS legal now, Android in just a small bit
And now, and a few exciting tips:
Don’t underestimate bursts(!)—they produce extremely handsome GIFs.
The shorter your GIF is,the better it’ll look.
The rebound button is rad. Try it out and enjoy the resultant smoothness.
Speaking of smoothness, 1.5x is a really smooth speed.
GIF a slow-moment video, and then speed it up in the GIF maker. An incredible,pudding-like smoothness.
Too much face for one selfie? invent a photoset.
