Before you process

Fast motion, hair, shadows and similar subject/background colors can need refinement. Use a short clip first and inspect more than one frame.

Get a result you can use

A better first try.

  • A clear subject and consistent lighting make edges easier to inspect.
  • Check the first, middle and last frames for flicker and missing parts.
  • Compare the exported animation on the background where it will actually be used.

Know before you start

Your questions, answered.

What is the difference from ordinary Video to GIF?

Ordinary conversion keeps the video background. This workflow adds background removal so the subject can be reused over another design.

Do I need a green screen?

Not for every method. Choose from the methods available in the tool for your clip. Solid-color backgrounds are useful for color-key workflows.

Can I fix an imperfect edge?

Review the available cleanup controls or continue in GIF Workspace for detailed editing. Results vary with the source footage.
