High Quality GIFS

2 users here now

Welcome! The posting rules here are fairly strict, but I hope you understand. The goal here is to curate high effort GIFs from the Fediverse. That being said, here are the rules:

-Only OC is allowed to be posted here. I'm trusting that this will be followed, but if someone reports a post with proof that it is not OC the post will be removed and the offending poster will receive a temporary ban unless the poster is a repeat offender which will result in a permanent ban,

-Posts much be at least 25 fps.

-Lewd content is not allowed. Go to redgifs for that.

-The GIF must be clear, with no artifacts.

-Watermarks can not be displayed in the GIF, but providing a link toward more of your OC is fine.

-No audio.

-Black bars around the GIF are allowed only if they are involved in some kind of transition.

-Potaton't This one is kind of subjective, but remember the goal is to post high quality here.

-These are GIFs, not memes. Try to avoid meme-style "impact bold" topt text and bottom text. The content should be clearly visible at all times.

-Hosting is something you'll have to figure out for yourself. WEBM is allowed since you'd be cutting down file size by a lot. https://catbox.moe works decently well for files under 200mb.

Now that the rules are out of the way, some free tools that you can use to make your own HQ GIFs:

-OpenShot: Great for complete newbs. Easy editing and good export options. https://www.openshot.org/

-KDEnlive: More advanced editor that can be used for more professional work, steeper learning curve. https://www.kdenlive.org

-Davinci Resolve: Actual professional level application. The learning curve is very high, but not insurmountable. https://www.blackmagicdesign.com
