Bro, both your gifs looked good to me! Nice work. I'm kind of an amateur as well, but I do have some general overall image editing experience. For gifs I've just been downloading free software. Sometimes they only work for 10 gifs, or a month, etc. Kind of annoying! And some don't allow certain sizes, etc etc. Man, what I'd do with a grand in equipment/software! Anyway, thank you for the shout out! I find gifs can be a way to add depth to a post in a way that words can't always do. They're compact in size and really just show a basic idea as opposed to full video, but they have a place! Funny that they've been around for decades and I'm only just starting to have fun with them lately :P
Thanks for the kind words bro,
Your gifs look like actual videos to me :P
I imagine it can get pretty complicated. I've downloaded image editing software in the past, free open source software on Linux, and I was just sitting there staring at the screen with no clue where to start.
They are pretty fun, I'm probably going make one with kitty Covid soon when he's tweaking.
Have a good day :)
