How to · 3 steps
Step by step
- 1
Open your GIF or video
Drop in one file or several; they line up on the timeline.
- 2
Trim and cut
Drag a clip’s edges, or press S at both ends of a mistake and Delete it.
- 3
Export
Export a GIF, or MP4 and WebM.
How long should a GIF be?
Most good GIFs loop in 5–12 seconds. If a flow needs 30, split it into a few GIFs or export MP4.
- Cut the start before the first real movement, and the reach for the stop button.
- Cut waits and spinners, or speed them up.
- Cut wrong clicks, typos and backtracking.
Make the loop seamless
End on a calm final state that looks like the first frame, and hold it for a beat. If the ends can’t match, a boomerang has no jump.
