You can tweak a lot of other settings if you’re feeling adventurous.ġ2. Tumblr compression currently (in 2021) likes things to be 540 pixels wide. That means all of the items in the media area except the first item (which is the original video file) and the second item (which is the entire timeline).ġ1. In the Export dialog, choose the “Animated Gifs” format - but don’t take the original resolution, because that will be huge. When you’re done making subsequences, select all of the subsequences in the media area. Here’s how fast it goes when you have a hotkey. To speed things up, define a hotkey for this command. You can also combine two clips into one by selecting them together and making them a subsequence.ĩ. Select the clip, right-click, and choose “make Subsequence.” (Note: earlier versions call this “nested sequence”) You have to do this individually for each clip that you want to batch export. In order for it to export your clips correctly as single files, instead of as one big file, here’s the trick:Ĩ. You don’t strictly need to know how to close gaps in order to make gifs, but if you want to combine two into one, this is useful. If you don’t like gaps, choose “close gap” from the Sequence menu.įor individual gaps (or clips) you can right click on a gap and choose “ripple delete” which deletes the gap and moves the next clip into place. Delete the clips you don’t want by selecting them and clicking the delete key.ħ. After you’ve snipped stuff, pick up your pointer (Keyboard shortcut V) to select individual clips. This only affects the visual interaction with the timeline, not the clip timing.Ħ. Use the bar at the bottom of the timeline to adjust its scale while you work. You can use the right and left cursor keys to move between frames one at a time, if you don’t want to use the mouse to click like I’m doing here. Pick up the razor (Keyboard shortcut C) and get cutting. Go to the frame AFTER the break point, then cut on the line. Unlink the audio and delete it, since it’s not needed for giffing.ĥ. Right-click in in the media area and choose import media, or just drag an MP4 in from your file browser.ĥ. You’ll probably never open this file again once you’re done exporting, but you should still save it in case the power goes out while you’re clipping.ģ. Open a new file in Adobe Premiere and save it to somewhere sensible, not the stupid location that Premiere thinks you want to save files in. Note: These gifs are generally cropped to the relevant part of the workspace only, so you can see what I’m clicking.ġ. The Illustrated Steps Are Behind A Cut Because I’m Not An Asshole The Steps Or they might have them but produce terrible gifs. It should be the same or similar for any newer versions, but older versions may not have these functions. This tutorial is for Adobe Premiere 2021, Version 15.1.0, released around April 2021Īnd Media Encoder 2021, also version 15.1.0. This here tutorial will show you everything you need to click in order to clip and export gifs from Premiere, without learning anything else about it. That’s a bit more advanced than this here tutorial, however. You also can use Premiere to apply the same lighting effects and whatnot to a series of clips. Good-quality batch GIF exporting is basically the holy grail of gif-related features, at least when your hobby is making giant shitposts full of gifs. Premiere has a steep learning curve, but it is full of good features. I’m finding about half of my gifs look good, and half have annoying white dots in them.īut this is all so fast that it’s worth doing anyway worst case I’ve done my lighting mods in premiere, which is fast, and just have to export half of the mp4′s from photoshop for proper diffusion. Premiere offers no options for dither or optimization of your gifs, so based on lighting, how strong your highlights are, etc, you can get results that have a lot of artifacts dark indoor scenes with brightly lit actors seem especially bad. Edit after multiple additional experiments: the quality is not predictable. They look pretty much the same to me, which is not something I’ve found from experiments in previous years. I used the Animated Gif preset when exporting, and only changed the size. Here’s the same clip done with Premiere + Media Encoder, bypassing Photoshop entirely. No effects or lighting etc, just resized to 540 width and exported with Selective Color & Diffusion chosen for export settings. I figured out how to make gifs with Adobe Premiere and the results, surprisingly, do not suck ass.
