.avi to .gif converter

[Lonewolf]

The convo hasn't come up in a while, and some of the links from the past are no longer valid, so I thought I'd get an update from you to see what's new and exciting these days...

Looking for one (portable preferred, but not a dealbreaker), must be freeware, run on Win10, and handle up to 1:30 running time.

Annnnnnddddddd.... go!

(Thanks!)

This is what I always used for when I needed to create a quick GIF from a video file, instead of setting up Premiere Pro and do it manually:

It's totally FREE, easy-to-use and works well with Windows 10 as well

I actually have that on my laptop, but it stopped conversions around the 15 second mark. I reinstalled it and it works fine now... maybe the program was corrupted or I had a broken codec... whatever.

Thanks for the suggestion...

I have two options for you LW.

Video to Gif
With this online video converter you can upload your mp4, avi, WebM, flv, wmv and many other popular types of video and rich media files to turn them into high quality animated GIFs. Source video file can be uploaded from your computer or smartphone or fetched from another server by URL.

After upload, you can select the part of the video you want to cut, entering start and end time. If nothing is selected, the converter will make a GIF from first five seconds of the video clip. If you want to change the dimensions of the GIF or crop out only part of the video, you can use our resize and crop tools on the GIF after finishing the conversion.

GifCam
GifCam makes it easy to create animated GIF images by simply recording the activity from a selected portion of your screen.
Simply move and size the recording frame over the area you want to capture and press a button to start recording. The program will automatically optimize the recorded frames by replacing redundant pixels with a green screen, which can significantly reduce the size of the final animation.
Once you're done recording, you can edit the animation by removing unwanted frames, adding text overlays and adjust frame delays.
Other features include support for cursor capture, FPS recording options, grayscale conversion, GIF preview, and more.

I use Giffing Tool. I'm pretty happy with it.
