What would be needed to make a GIF out of a video image? I want to make a GIF from a VHS tape, like a video clip from the tape and convert it to GIF. I'm sure it’s possible but can it be done reasonably with cheap freeware. I wouldn’t have to buy Photoshop would I? I'm thinking of some cheap video editing program that would take the VHS clip and give me individual pix to place into a GIF constructor prog to make the GIF. Is there such a thing?
