Adobe Photoshop and ImageRady are too bloated. I usually avoid using them, unless I have to do something which only they can do with quality. I usually use firewords for making GIFs. Flash for making vector images and animations.

What you need

Virtual Dub
Adobe ImageReady (Usually comes with Photoshop 7)

Set Up

First make a folder to contain all the images you will extract

Capturing Images with Virtual Dub

1) Open up the episode of the TV show you want to make a .gif file
2) Find the frame it starts on. CTRL+G
(XX:XX:XX) Minutes : Seconds : Frame
3) Press the MARK IN button (at the bottom of the screen)
4) The go to the last frame and press MARK OUT
5) Go to File > Save as Image Sequence
Set the number of digits to 3
Save it in the folder you made

here is a screenshot if your having trouble finding mark in and mark out

Click here

Creating the .GIF in ImageReady

1) File > Import > Folders as frames
2) Open the folder you saved the images in
It will load the images by frame
3) Go to Image > Image Size
Make it to 100x100 for an avatar or watever you want
4) File > Save Optimized Image As

*Note you can delete frames to reduce the .GIF size as it will be pretty big

I had VirtualDub sitting in my computer the whole time, and I didn't know it could do this! Thanks for the tip Raptrex! It's a good thing I had those programs ready even before looking at the tutorial. I always wanted to make a cool animated gif with my show. Thanks a lot!

Here's a link to the gif I made using the tutorial.
I really enjoyed making the gif! I didn't know it was so easy!

Animated GIF using tutorial
I made the image smaller using ImageReady, so it won't be taking up so much space. biggrin.gif

How to make the image smaller:

It's best to use ImageReady for this, as the quality is better.

Go to Image->Image Size...-> and then adjust as you see fit.
Don't worry about just adjusting the width or just the height. ImageReady will make it proportional for you.

I would like to edit my post.

Yeah. It was a bit slow... But I needed those frames though. The animation itself is long. I'm not really a graphics whiz. sleep.gif I might fix that GIF someday, though.

EDIT:
I already removed most of the frames. You can find the revised GIF in http://www.kvariety.uni.cc/etoilerevised.gif

Nice good tutorial, I use gif animator and its ok sorta like image ready in a way, but more simple image ready has more features though but I just use photoshop one time and make sure I dont make a mistake so it would just run smoothly. I also like to make a note that I got photoshop 6 and I got image ready with it so it doesnt go with 7 min. its 6 virtual dub, hmm havent used it what I would normally do is just save it as a movie and use a mega converter to change it to a gahh forgot what format but image ready can ready it and well just put it to imageready and tada your done and their is also I think it was called gifninja its not a program but it does it all for you already and thats also easier. Thanks again for this tutorial its easy to follow and thanks for really giving deatil on stuff... Alsome tutorial
