IS THIS YOUR PENANCE... OR REVENGE?

And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest... Everywhere they are wisest. They are the magi.

hello! beginner at gifmaking here.

i was wondering if you use any specific program/setting for better frame capturing, or if you do it manually, screen capturing frame by frame.

i’m asking this bc i was using potplayer’s consecutive capturing in order to do my gifs, but only after finishing with the speed i realized it looked weird bc it jumped frames. i’m also asking u specifically bc i admire yall’s work at yingtan lol you guys are the best

hi anon! i've been giffing properly since like 2019 so i've gone through various methods actually!

currently i use mpv and use consecutive capturing which basically does it frame by frame! i think the problem with jumping frames might be bcs of the software! with mpv i can't use the latest version bcs that jumps frames so i'm on mpv 0.36.0 and that works fine for me!

a method i previously used was using vlc to record the screen and importing the video in ps using video frames to layers! i found the quality of this wasn't the best and hence moved away from this.

i also sometimes use something called vapoursynth to process a video and crop it which i got into using bcs of kpop gifs! it's really helpful for videos that are really low quality because of its denoising effects!

i would recommend the mpv method as it's what i'm using now and i'm seeing really good results. these are my screencap settings in my mpv config file for reference:

if you need any help setting mpv up let me know!
