All right, today we are going to build a shortcut,
that allows us to make custom GIFS from video that you have on your iPad,
without needing to use any extra third party tool.
So, first thing I'm gonna do, once I'm in my Shortcuts App is,
I'm gonna hit that plus sign at the top part of the screen.
So now that I have it open, I can go ahead and start adding parts.
So the first thing I'm gonna do is I'm gonna search for on the side.
I'm gonna search for select photos.
And I can go ahead and drag it over, I can also just tap it.
I have to drag though, so I'm gonna go ahead and say show more.
And now under where it says include, I'm gonna tap on that and
I'm actually going to get rid of images and
live photos because I only wanna see videos because I'm making GIFs out of them.
So I'm gonna say done.
I'm gonna leave off where it says select multiple because I just wanna have one video to
make one GIF.
All right, the next thing I'm gonna do is I'm now going to search for trim media.
And so I went ahead and grabbed that and
because I put underneath as you can see it made a little line there too.
It automatically connected the photo that I'm selecting, it needs to be trimmed.
So that was a super easy step, now I'm gonna go say, make GIF.
And I'm going to go ahead and drag that over next.
And again, since I'm putting it in a row, it automatically is connecting that the
thing that I trimmed now needs to be made a GIF, right?
So I'm gonna go ahead and hit show more.
So I have a few options here, I'm gonna leave loop forever and auto size on.
But what I want to do is, I want change the seconds per photo.
So what I prefer to either use is 0.1 or 0.05.
The smaller the number, the higher quality of the GIF but
also the larger the size of the file.
So I will either say either 0.1 or 0.05, I normally use .05, all right?
Now, the last thing we want to do is add a quick look, all right?
So I'm gonna go ahead and put that there.
So if I say show more, I wanna then have it say full screen. Okay.
I have already built this GIF.
But one thing I need to do,
is I need to touch the meatball menu up here the three dots and I need to name it.
So when I say Videos to GIF, all right.
And then I can choose if I wanna add to my home screen I could change kind of what it
looks like here.
So let's go ahead and add something else, perfect.
All right, and then I can go ahead and say done.
All right, now to run it, I am gonna show how it looks like.
So to run it with in here when am looking at shows me kind of where else I
needs to process.
So am gonna go ahead and hit the Play sign on the top right.
So now I can select some sort of photo, or video. So, I selected a video and
now I can move this is where the playhead is.
But I'm gonna now move the sides to actually trim.
Okay, and then once I have where I'm going to use,
I'm gonna say use. All right, now it's processing it as a GIF.
And then here it is. So here it is as a GIF, not as the video.
And then what I could do then if at the top right I hit share that
can allow me to say, send that in messages.
Or to save it as an image to my iPad, or whatever I need to do with it,
I could just send it straight there.
So I am gonna go ahead just for now just say Save Image
since I am not sending it to anyone and then hit Done.
And I am all done and I have that quickly built a shortcut for
taking a video and making a GIF without using any other third party apps.
