I am interested in learning how to create something like this on my Mac?

So I have found that you need to take these steps to get your video footage from youtube

but then once you have the video, how do you separate the scene and convert it into a motion gif file like the one I opsted above?

I am running Leopard with imovie, but have not really used it yet. Any tutorial links or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I use Adobe Photoshop CS3 to do that, using the Animation palette (previous to CS3 you would use Adobe ImageReady). You can import a video and save it as an Animated GIF.

But without purchasing anything, I don't really know how you would do it. Maybe Google could turn up something?

Thanks! I will give it a shot.
