Cheerful Tumblr nonsense
Recently I made:
• A gifset of Babylon 5 hugs
• A Londo & G'Kar text/image collage
Obviously these are wildly full of spoilers.
I haven't made gifs in ages - in fact I'm not sure if I've done it at all on my current laptop, and it's just. So much easier. I remember when I first started doing this in the mid-2010s, it was achingly slow - I do it by importing Photoshop's "video frames to layers", deleting the ones I don't want and doing some quick'n'dirty color-correcting, and yeah, I've gotten faster over the years because I've figured out a lot of things not to do. (Don't: color-correct every layer when a correction layer will do them all at once!)
But also, I remember how I'd import a video clip and the computer would just draggggg, or it would take forever to resize or export, and sometimes it would run out of memory in the middle and I'd have to quit and restart to force it to clear its scratch disks. Can't even tell you how much of a problem this isn't with a 2Tb hard drive!
Doing gifs/images for B5 does make it a bit frustrating that the whole show appears to have been lit through a potato, though.
