Hey!! How do I get into making gifs? Any tips for a beginner? I literally know nothing about it just that the I'd like to start. Also is not having photoshop a big obstacle?
Hi there! Yeah I can give you some tips to get started! Keep in mind I use windows to make my gifs and not a mac.
So to get into gifmaking you don't need to have photoshop. If you find that you enjoy making gifs I do recommend you look into getting photoshop (and there are ways of getting it without paying *raises pirate flag*) but to start there are several online programs you can use.
Here's a few that i've used before I learned how to do it in photoshop:
photopea
ezgif
giphy
imgflip
makeagif
This is an excellent tutorial to using photopea to make gifs
Each one of those will allow you make a basic gif. For complex coloring, sharpening, layouts, typography, blending, etc you'll want to upgrade to using photoshop because the quality is just way better and you can do so much more but when you're just wanting to get start all of these websites are great places to learn.
I also recommend learning how to take screencaps because I find it's a lot easier to make gifsets using screencaps than it is to try and screen record, cut, and upload videos.
My recommendation for screencapping is KMPlayer. It's a video player that you download to your computer and has a very easy way to save screencaps. Then you can just upload the jpgs into whatever program you're using to make gifs.
I made a basic gif making tutorial using photoshop and kmplayer here if you want to take a look at it.
Basic gifmaking steps:
Get your video. You can download it through pirating sites or use dvds or screen record. I download from sites like soap2day.to.
Take screen caps of the specific scene you want to gif OR cut your video to just the scene you want
Upload either clip or jpgs into the chosen program
Set the speed
Do any trimming of the scene and/or cropping the sides you want to do
If your program allows you (some don't) you can sharpen it, brighten the colors, add text
Then just save it as a .gif
Some other things:
The higher quality video, the better quality gif. 1080 is better than 720. Try to get a nice quality video if you can
Some websites will have a watermark on it that can't be removed so keep that in mind. Another reason why I prefer using photoshop.
Try to keep the gif either the same speed as the episode or just a little slower. Too fast isn't good.
That's all I got for now! If you have any other questions please feel free ask! I'd be happy to help with anything!

Caldwell checked his pocket watch again. Bell was late. Bell was usually a few minutes late. But this was ridiculous. He was late by over an hour.
Maybe he had forgotten their standing appointment. After dinner, Caldwell liked to have Bell sit with him by the fire and talk at him for a few hours. He wouldn’t say it was soothing. But he was a man of habit.
Caldwell walked to the window and looked out into the inky black of night, the roar of a late winter rainstorm pounding the glass of the windows.
Well, if Bell wouldn’t come to him, he would come to Bell.
Caldwell grabbed his overcoat and top hat and strode out into the frigid storm.
The walk down the cottage using the gravel drive was much easier than taking the pasture, less muddy too. Caldwell arrived in no time at the cheerful-looking cottage and raised his hand to bang on the door.
But before he could knock, the door was flung open and Mr. Bell’s farmhand, Hogyn stood there in an oversized raincoat and boots. Hogyn looked up at Caldwell, eyes wide. Caldwell looked down at the young man, mouth open. They stood there a moment more before Hogyn stepped aside.
“Come in, Lord Caldwell, please come in.” Hogyn stammered.
Caldwell did so. “Where is Mr. Bell?”
“That’s what I was going out for, my lord. He’s gone missing.” Hogyn jammed a large floppy hat on his head. “I’m afraid something has happened.”
Caldwell struggled to process this but proceeded forward. “I will help you. But what do you think has happened?”
“He’s been feeling poorly these past few days. And then he went out to fix the pasture fence in all this weather. I couldn’t stop him. He’ll catch his death, my lord, sir.”
Caldwell nodded. “Let’s go then. Are you ready?”
“Yes, my lord.”
“Good lad. Take the north end, I’ll take the south. We will meet in the middle.”
And they braved the storm. The rain that pelted down was icy and torrential. The wind ripped across the countryside and it was all Caldwell could do to keep his overcoat closed. His top hat was soon gone. Torn off by a gust. Caldwell headed to the pasture fence and began to work his way along it. He called out for Bell many times, his voice swallowed by the storm.
Caldwell lost the feeling in his ears and fingers. His boots filled with rainwater and mud. His clothes hung heavy, drenched and freezing.
He should have brought a lantern. He should have brought a search party. Bell should not be out in this.
The thought that his dear friend was already dead kept whispering into Caldwell’s thoughts.
Tears mixed with the rain on his face.
Caldwell crested a small hill and realized that he’d almost finished searching his share of the property. And no sign of Bell. Unless…
Caldwell squinted through the downpour at a dark smudge. Something lying in the close cropped grass.
Bell.
Caldwell ran forward as best as he could, slipping and sliding in mud and runoff. It was a person. In a dark coat. Laying face down on the ground.
Caldwell turned the man over.
It was Bell. He’d found him.
Bell’s eyes were closed and rain was beginning to pool in the hollows of his eyes. His dark hair was plastered to his face. He was very pale. So pale.
Caldwell shook his friend. “Bell!” He called.
Nothing. No response.
Caldwell put a hand to Bell’s cheek. He was cold.
Caldwell swallowed hard and took his friend in his arms. Carefully, slowly, he made his way back to the cottage.
When he could, Caldwell looked to Bell’s face. If only he would open his eyes. Or stir. The man lay limp and cold against Caldwell’s chest. Bell was such an animated man. His eyes sparkled and he sang so sweetly. To see him like this, lifeless. So close to death. Caldwell felt his heart clenching.
Hogyn met him along the way.
“You found him, my lord, is he?” Hogyn did not finish the question.
“He’s breathing.” Caldwell answered as they entered the warm cottage, dripping puddles onto the floor. “We need dry clothes. And stoke that fire.”
“All of us needs dry clothes.” Hogyn shut the door and began stripping off his coat and hat. “Lest we catch our death too.”
“No, no.” Caldwell set Bell onto his small bed with a sigh. “I can’t. I have got to go for a doctor. Bell is very ill.”
Hogyn had come over by now. “He hasn’t said anything.”
“Nothing.” Caldwell set his jaw and leaned over his friend. “Bell.” He gently shook Bell’s shoulder. Bell’s head sagged to the side. Caldwell pressed a wet hand to Bell’s wet cheek and stroked it.
“Bell.” He urged again. Willing Bell to wake. To respond. But nothing.
Caldwell backed away, blinking tears back. “He won’t wake. Keep him warm. I will return with a doctor.”
Hogyn was stoking the fire. “What doctor would come all the way in this weather, respectfully, my lord?”
“The one I intend to pay very well.” And Caldwell dashed out into the storm again.
“Am I supposed to be grateful to have survived this?”

babe wake up new whumpay prompts dropped. like last year, im posting early for more time to prepare
Welcome to Whumpay 2024! Up above you will see the basic prompt list and down below the cut you will see it written out in a list, as well as three mini challenges (and by extension, the extreme edition)

You only have to use one (Or two, if you’re doing the extreme edition.) prompt a day! But you’re welcome to use multiple if you want to, and it still counts for both.
I know the description of the blog says it’s a writing event, but if you want to draw or make other kinds of content, that’s cool too.
Have fun, tag content warnings (such as noncon, graphic violence, etc) and try not to be crushed by the mortifying ordeal of posting your writing.
This is a pretty chill event so you can start posting whenever but I’ll be reblogging posts made to the #Whumpay2024 tag throughout May. For real this time.
These all also apply to these three special mini challenges, consisting of a 7 day, a 10 day, and a 14 day prompt list.
