This post is for you, t.
t had posted the following comment on my 'O ajnabi' post:
OMG Sayesha, I've enjoyed all these posts I've read so far! How do you make such high-quality gifs? Sometimes the actions in some gifs are too fast, but yours are perfect. Do you have a post on creating gifs? If not, at least for fan junta like me, please write one :)
I discovered the art of creating gifs last year during the A-Z blogathon when I was trying to find a way to bring across some of the ridiculousness of our Bollywood songs in a more visual manner. Once I discovered the amazing world of gifs, I stopped doing screenshots.
So here you go -- my step-by-step guide to make a gif. And since you seem to havewatched endured this horrible Prem movie, I've made the tutorial on one of its songs.
I know there are plenty of sites where you can create gifs, but I personally love giphy.com because it doesn't ask me to register/log in and it's very, very easy to use.
Step 1: Go to giphy.com and click on 'create' on the top right.
Step 6: Click on 'Embed'.
Step 8: Let Kareena Kapoor's talent blow you away, like it has done with Hrithik.
Hope I was clear in my instructions. Please do try it out -- making gifs is easier than it sounds.
If you have any questions, drop me a note. My email address is in my profile info.
Enjoy! :)

I know there are plenty of sites where you can create gifs, but I personally love giphy.com because it doesn't ask me to register/log in and it's very, very easy to use.
Step 1: Go to giphy.com and click on 'create' on the top right.
Step 2: Enter the URL of your video in the 'Add any URL' field.
Step 3: This will bring you to this preview page. The bottom number circled in red will give you your start time so you can choose that based on where you want your gif to start. The top field circled in red gives you the number of seconds that your gif will last. I usually go for the default 4 seconds but sometimes you may need a few more seconds to capture something hilarious, so go ahead and increase it by a couple of seconds. Once you're happy with your gif (the preview will keep playing so you can play around with the two numbers to get the best gif), click on 'Continue to decorate'.
Step 4: At this step, you can do a lot of embellishment to your gif, but I never use this feature because my amazing actors are enough and need no embellishment whatsoever. Click on 'Continue to upload'.
Step 5: Click on 'Upload to Giphy'.
Step 7: Copy the html code and paste it in your post.
Step 8: Let Kareena Kapoor's talent blow you away, like it has done with Hrithik.

Sayesha, I have been a follower of your blogs from last year's A2Z. I have enjoyed each and every A2Z both last and this year. You have made me laugh and cringe at the same time. Your GIF skills are commendable. Thanks for this tutorial. I will try it for sure!
I have just one question: why do you not post your a2z blog on the a2z host sites? You will have more eyes for your blog that you deserve.
Cheers,
Meena

I might use it in next year's challenge...
I have hopped to your bar a few times - an old patron has the address on her bar.
And i have loved your posts. Each one trumps the other.I was so blown away by this ultra simple tutorial that i had to comment :)
Wow, that looks much easier than I thought it would be! Thank you for this gifT!<3
Hi Sayesha!!!
This is Nidhi here. I bumped into you a few days back at ECP and recognized you coz of your Hopscotch pics.
And let me tell you, I was completely freaked out when I spotted you! It was Heights of Coincidence that I was in Singapore for just about a week...visiting my brother and had a chance meet with the only blogger that I had been following for quite a few years now! (about probably 10-11 years to be precise!)
Apologies for just walking up to you unannounced and talking to you while you were having family outing
Take care

Meena,
Thank you for your support. :) I generally don't sign up for any official blogathons because I don't know if I can really keep up with the pressure. I just blog for fun. :)
Charan,
Cool!
Amrita,
Thank you so much! :)
Argentyne,
Try it out! :)
Nidhi,
Omg thank goodness you posted a comment. I was hoping you'd post or email me so I can explain to you what happened. I was at my inline skating class and not a family outing! :D It was break time between two sessions so I was chilling with my instructors. That's why we all looked so sweaty and unglam bwahahaha! So there is a kid in my class by the same name so when you said "Are you Sayesha?", at first I thought you were looking for her LOL! Anyway, thanks for coming up to talk to me. You're right -- heights of coincidence it was!! :D :D Hope you had a good trip!
Hi Sayesha,
Glam or un-glam, doesn't matter. This chance meeting with you will be one of the memorable moments of my Singapore trip. :)
I share your love for pani puri and Bollywood and had been talking about you to my bhabhi also just a day before I bumped you at ECP :D
(the actual conversation was about going to some nice restaurant and I remembered your blog where you mentioned about some (mexican?) restaurant with the best Margharitas in town but I didnt re,member the name)
I hope to keep in touch with you and may be have a "planned" meeting with you next time I am in Singapore :)
Take care
Nidhi
Oh you are the best Sayesha! You actually took time out to make this detailed post, I have no words... well I did say you are the best, but gosh, you went over and above and beyond and all of that on that comment of mine! >:D< I will definitely go through the steps, and hopefully will be as good as you are :)
The example you took for this post and the resulting gif at the end - HILARIOUS! Trust you and no one else to choose the premise and come up with the excellent result!
I discovered your blog through the Blogs, and I'm so glad I did. Thanks for sharing such touching and inspirational content!
