- Hey everyone, my name is Tim.
In this video, I'm gonna explain
how you can easily create GIFs.
To make this happen,
I'm gonna show you three different kinds.
We're gonna create a meme GIF, a profile picture GIF,
and an animal GIF all in just a few minutes.
In this video, we're gonna use Veeds Online Video Editor
so simply head over to your browser
and type in veed.new or click on the first link
in the description.
Now, we're in Veeds Editor
and we can instantly get started.
First, I wanna make a meme GIF
and I already recorded a clip that I want to use for this.
So to upload it, simply click on Upload A File
and select a clip you want to import,
in this case, it's Tim Confused and then click on Open.
So the plan is to have a part of my footage visible
and then above that I want to have a text.
First, before I crop and trim the footage,
I wanna change the aspect ratio to a square.
So to make this happen,
head over to Settings in the left menu
and then on the size you can choose
the dimensions you prefer, in this case, a square,
so I'm gonna click on Square and as you see
it changes into a square.
Then within the video canvas,
we can click on the video and you can use
the side and corner options to further crop your video,
in this case, I want to get rid of the black lines
and I wanna drag the video or the footage down a little bit.
I also wanna zoom in a little bit.
I'm gonna use the corners for that, there you go,
and now before we trim the footage,
I wanna change the background color,
so head over to Settings again
and on the background you can choose the color you prefer,
in this case, I'm gonna choose white
so there you go, and then if you wanna trim the footage,
head over to the Bottom Timeline
and you can click and drag on one of the sides
to extend or shorten the footage.
Let's say, when I wanna let it start
so this would be the point at around one
so I'm gonna click and drag it
and I'm gonna drag the entire file to the left
so it starts at that point
and then to actually add context to the meme,
we're gonna add text to this video or to this GIF.
So to make this happen, head over to Text in the left menu
then you can choose one of the presets
or just select Headline Title, for instance,
and once you added the text in the Text Menu on the left,
you're able to change the words, change the font style,
the size, color, background color, and much more,
and within the video canvas,
you can click and drag on the text and move it around.
You can use the side and corner options to resize it
and also rotate it and lastly, you can also add
an animation to the text if you prefer a slide up,
a typewriter effect, a zoom-in, whatever you like,
and as a final touch to your GIF meme,
if you head over to Elements in the left menu,
you can add stickers and emojis
to emphasize certain emotions in your GIF meme.
Simply click on the ones you like and you can reshift them
within the video canvas.
So that's how you easily create a GIF meme,
now, if you wanna download the GIF,
head over to the right top corner and click on Export
and then click on Export Video
and after it's rendered,
click on the Download button below the video,
click on Download GIF and it should be
in your Downloads Folder.
All right, so now let me show you how you can create
a profile picture GIF or avatar GIF with Veed.
For this example, we started a new project and we're back
at the beginning.
The plan is to have a picture of me
and something moving in the background for the GIF.
To get started, we're gonna use Veed's Stock Video Library.
We're gonna click on Search to search for something bright,
in this case, I wanna have something bright behind me
and as you can see, there's a lot you can choose from,
in this case, I want to have something abstract or starry,
I guess, so in this case, I'm gonna select this one.
Simply click on it and then it will be added to the project.
Now, I wanna upload the picture of myself
that I wanna use for the profile picture.
So to make this happen,
head over to the Media in the left menu
and click on Upload A File
and select a picture you wanna import,
I'm gonna click on it and click on Open.
Now, as you can see, the picture is imported,
you can use the side and corner options to resize it,
you can reposition it and rotate it if you like.
Now, first thing I wanna do is change
the aspect ratio into a square
because that's the most convenient one
for a profile picture.
So head over to Settings in the left menu
and on the Size, click on Square.
Now, we're gonna make sure everything's fit
so I'm gonna click on the Background
and click on Fill The Canvas
and as you can see, it filled the canvas
and then I'm gonna select my profile picture
and use the side and corner options again to resize it,
relocate it, and further crop it,
and now, if you play the video, as you can see,
the background moves behind my cutout.
So now, in this case, only your first three seconds
or like five seconds are relevant for my GIF,
in this case, and the rest I can just delete.
So to make this happen,
head over to the Bottom Timeline
and hold Shift on your keyboard
and make sure you select both of the layers
and then click and drag the Playhead
to whatever you want to cut it
and then click on Split
and then just simply click on the footage
and click on Backspace to delete it
and there you have it.
So now, I wanna download my profile picture GIF.
So to make this happen,
head over to the right top corner and click on Export,
then click on Export Video and after it's rendered,
just like we did with the GIF meme,
simply head over to the Download button below the video,
click on Download GIF and it should be
in your Downloads Folder
and then the third and final GIF,
I'm gonna show you how you can make an animal GIF.
Again, we're gonna start from scratch with a new project
and I'm gonna use the Stock Video Library again.
For this example, I'm gonna search for a cute cat video.
So simply click on Search at the Stock Video Library
and then search for let's say cute cat
and as you can see, there are a lot
of cute cats you can choose from, in this case,
I wanna choose this sleepy one.
I'm gonna select it and again,
it will be automatically added to your project
and we're gonna do a similar thing like we did
with the GIF meme video.
So first, let's change the aspect ratio to a square.
So again, head over to Settings in the left menu
and then on the Size choose square,
you can also choose other dimensions, of course,
but in this case, like I said, I'm gonna choose square.
Then if you wanna make the video fit into the square,
you can use the side and corner options again
or simply select it and in Edit Video menu,
simply click on Fill The Canvas.
After that, you can further centralize your video
by cropping it using the side and corner options.
Now, I'm gonna trim out a piece
where she's moving a little bit,
I think it's incredibly cute so let's make that happen.
Simply head over to the Bottom Timeline
and click and drag on one of the sides
to extend or shorten the footage, in this case,
I'm gonna click and drag this all the way to the beginning,
there you go, and now I want to add a good night text
at the bottom of this GIF.
So to make this happen,
head over to the Text in the left menu,
you can select one of the presets,
but in this case, I'm gonna select Headline Title
and again, just like we did with the video GIF meme,
you can change the words on the left,
you can change the textile, the color, background color,
the size, you can add a text animation
and within the video canvas you can resize it,
reposition it, and rotate the text,
and again, on their Elements in the left menu,
you can add stickers, emojis, you can add progression bars,
whatever you prefer and once you're satisfied
and you wanna download your GIF,
head over to the Export Button in the right top corner
and click on Export Video
and once your GIF is rendered,
head over to the Download button below the video,
click on Download GIF and it should be
in your Downloads Folder.
All right, so that's it for this video,
that's how we easily create GIFs.
I just showed you a couple of examples
you can try for yourself.
Thank you so much for watching,
good luck, and have a nice day.
