I’ve been shooting a lot of videos on my RICOH GR III, but the problem with videos:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What should I do with the videos?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Videos are a bit difficult to share and publish. But a fun new idea:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turn your videos into animated GIF images!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

For example, I like the GIPHY CAPTURE <\/a>tool on Mac (made these videos on my MacBook laptop). Essentially what I do is this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Play the video on my laptop<\/li>
  2. Use GIPHY CAPTURE to choose a part of the video I want to select<\/li>
  3. I trim the video, then export as .GIF<\/li>
  4. I upload the GIF file to my blog WordPress ‘media library’, and I publish and share it on a blog post.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    To me, this is a very fun way to re-analyze your photos, and also view your photo-videos!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    GIF<\/a><\/strong> as a future format for photographers:<\/a> hybrid between photo and video!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Another way to creatively express yourself<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Animated GIF: another way photographers can express their creativity, or present their images in a different way or novel format: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Exporting tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Generally I recommend exporting the files as ‘low’ frame rate, and it seems that a smaller file size is always better. Export your files as a smaller resolution as well (640px wide)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ping pong effect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    An exporting function in GIF:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    PING PONG<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    Essentially your clip plays forward and reverse, quite fun:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Longer clip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Takes longer to load:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Difficulties of animated GIF<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The problems with animated GIF FILES:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Generally the bigger the file size, the worse.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    Not only that, but internet speeds aren’t keeping up with technological innovations. Thus, it seems that file compression, and keeping the files small is the way to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As I say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    More megapixels, more problems<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    Or bigger files, bigger problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
