The Doctor Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I tried looking for one online, but none of the searches I did came up with anything usefull. I need a file conversion program that lets me convert .avi files into .gif format. Does such a program even exist? Thanks in advance, ~The Doctor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkonium Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Well, Bink & Smacker tools might work for that, I know it works for anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samnmax221 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Do you mean individual frames from AVI files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 No, I mean an actual .avi file. I can't see it's individual frames, just the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkonium Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I think he means an animated .gif, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingerhs Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 well, i can tell you right away that you won't find one since you're talking about two very different formats. *.avi files are video files. *.gif files are image files. although .gif files can be animated, all it's really doing is showing a series of images in a certain sequence on a specific time interval. your best bet would be to take screenshots of whatever moment in the .avi file you want and combine them into a .gif file.

The Doctor Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 Is there some way to derive the frames from the .avi file without having to do screenshots? And yes, I mean an animated gif. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samnmax221 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I assumed he wanted to copy frames from an AVI. guesse I was wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkonium Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Either a simple conversion with BINK, or stick it in a program for Flash and save it as a .gif. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 Where would on locate such a program? 'Program for Flash' doesn't sound like a good search criteria... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkonium Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 By a Flash program I mean the official program from Macromedia: Macromedia Flash MX, which I think is fairly expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 Well, I have very little money at the moment (something along the lines of $3.20). Is there any free downloadable program I could use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doctor Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 Unfortunately, that program won't open .avi files. EDIT: Never mind, I found the conversion tool. Thanks a lot! I'll let you know if it turns out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
