How to make a GIF from a series of photos
You have one more week left to participate in GIF IT UP. If you think it’s not enough time, read on and see how quickly you can create a GIF using a series of photos.
Start with choosing content, there are a lot of photos representing different phases of movement available on Europeana. The photos from the studies of movement by Eadweard Muybridge will be perfect for this. All you need to do is to crop the image, for example using Pixlr Editor, save each frame and export to an online GIF editor, for example Ezgif.
