Looking for an animated GIF creator (from video files)

    Hi all.

    I'm looking for an app or piece of software that can create animated GIFs from video files.

    I've tried Ulead GIF Animation 5 but it's old software and refuses to work with Windows 7.

    Need to be able to crop an area of the video and select start and finish times/segments. I know this is dependent on codecs but it needs to be compatible with a variety of video types.

    Any advice appreciated.

    I've used Ulead in Windows 7 for a couple years with no problem.
    You may want to address the issue with your computer.

    It's a somewhat tedious process but I've been using VLC's feature of frame by frame snapshot and then using PhotoScape to create the animated GIF.

    All the things mentioned thusfar are good, I would add that VirtualDub allows you to gif direct from the video file.

    Ok, i've worked with imaging software for 17 years and I am trying photoscape for the first time. I've searched everywhere, but how do you make a gif loop in photoscape. It must be so obvious that I can't see the loop option because I am trying too hard.
