    Can I ask how you made this? I’d love to be able to add my own text to animated gifs!

      I made the clip by cutting the mp4 from the movie to the length I wanted with vidcutter, then used ffmpeg on the command line to convert it to a gif. If you’re on windows I’m thinking the gif would be simpler to make, then I used gifntext dot com to add the captions. If you get stuck I can try making your gif for you

        you know I never thought to ask how it’s done, and seeing you show a way to do it has made me realize I need to ask people how they do stuff more
