[twofoursixeight]

[G-Code549]

ya great!!! But I’m on computer so I didn’t need the extras.

[G-Code549]

thx me love keyboard shortcuts!!!

[Random_dude123]

Yo just saying, If you are going to make a long reply like this can you use the hide details feature like this

Hide details

[Monoreuk]

not bad, but a lot of useless information in my opinion, I will of course add you even to credits, thanks for the help, but let’s say regular videos can’t be sent to the form, only gifs

[twofoursixeight]

@twofoursixeight

But it’s best you use a site like Video to animated GIF converter (ezgif.com) to do the work for you.

After making the regular video, a gif converter like the one above can be used to convert a gif for the forum.

For this reason, with the consent of @Monoreuk, I feel like this should be a wiki, for longevity and community editing (with permission, that is)

[Txme_Lxss]

disagree

no need for a wiki, this is just a basic guide to make gifs. It’s really not that difficult to do this. All you need to do is research how, then publish your information and steps on how onto the forums.

Plus monoreuk said he is adding the other devices, so there’s no need for a wiki in my opinion.

[Unit_72]

Well then I guess we could agree to disagree, for each has both pr0s and cons…
