Creating GIFs in Premiere Pro

Everyone loves GIFs. They’re everywhere — and there are plenty of resources online for transforming video and photo sequences into the GIF format.

But what about doing it straight from Adobe Premiere Pro? Here’s how to make it happen.

GIFs have become a part of everyday internet life. They’re used to tell jokes and replay sports footage. With Facebook’s new GIF messaging feature, you can take a reply one step further than an emoji with a GIF response.

Most importantly, GIFs have become an integral marketing tool for brands — especially films and studios. Why post a still image when you can post a three-second sequence? Take the GIF below from the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Facebook page. The post has a conversion link for people to buy tickets to see the film. While a still image would have done the same job, a GIF certainly keeps eyes on the post a lot longer.

How to Export a GIF From Premiere Pro: Marketing GIF

There are a lot of websites that can transform your video sequence or photo sequence into the GIF format, but what about doing it straight from Adobe Premiere Pro? Here you will have complete control on what to render out into the GIF sequence…  Read How.

Portfolio Websites

Creating a landing page to showcase your video business is easier than you might think. The following website builders are simple and affordable options for presenting your video portfolio.

Whether you’re a freelance video professional or leading the marketing effort for a production company, it’s imperative that your online presence positively reflect your brand. Don’t send your potential clients a link to your work on YouTube or Vimeo. It’s easy to create a polished website with a custom URL (vanity URL), thereby elevating your brand… and your work.

Below are a few of my favorite options for creating a simple website to host your video portfolio or demo reel. There are certainly more complex options available, but for video pros looking to create a simple website to share their projects, you can’t go wrong with any of these services.

Squarespace

In the last few years, Squarespace has emerged as a leader in simple website creation.  See more Online Video Portfolio’s here.

The New Age of Web Design: Video Backgrounds and Headers

They say a picture paints a thousand words. If that’s true, then what about video? In this article we explain the benefits of using stock footage to add a video background for your web page.

Here at Videvo, we aim to provide you with free HD stock footage that can be used and adapted in as many ways as possible – and this includes video for webpages. Whether you are designing a personal portfolio or customizing a company site, video can be a valuable addition to help make your webpage look polished, professional and ultimately stand out against others. And it’s now easier than ever before, particularly if you have access to a readily available source of free stock footage from yours truly.


But Why Should I Use Video?

FREE: 15GB of Cloud Storage via Copy.com

OK.  I’m cheap.  And brief.  But here’s (another) 15+GB of FREE online secure cloud storage for you to try out, with lots of included free options.  Of course, you can always upgrade for as little as five bucks a month for even more storage, but as I said– I’m cheap.

Check it…

Details

  • 15GB of cloud storage
  • 1 user, free
  • No maximum file size limit
  • Windows, Mac, and Linux clients
  • Multiple user support; 5 users for free
  • 30 day file revision history
  • 30 day file recovery
  • Sync desktop files
  • Mobile app access

Sharing Files

Sharing the contents of folders in Copy is simple and effective.  All you have to do is right click on a folder, and click Share.  A public link will be created that you can paste into an email, or share on social networks with the included Facebook, Twitter, and Google Plus buttons.

Copy simple sharing menu

Copy has two types of sharing: Simple and Secure.  Simple sharing creates a public link that anyone can access.  Secure sharing creates a link that’s “invitation only,” and requires recipients to verify their email address with Copy.

With securely shared folders, you can specify permissions that each user has.  The available permissions are: Can Edit & Sync, View Only, and Can Manage.

Who Should Use Copy?

Anybody looking for lots of free cloud storage space with excellent features, perhaps as an alternative to Google Drive (which doesn’t support Linux) will like Copy.

Copy is also great for businesses – even with the free plan – due to the free plan supporting up to 5 users.

With 15 GB of free space, sync clients for almost any operating system, and fantastic mobile apps, there’s a lot I like about Copy.

Copy creates stunning photo galleries

Shared links display a simple file list, yet when you click a photo it will enlarge to fill your entire screen.  The interface isn’t cluttered at all; it’s simple, clean, and effective.  There’s a “Save All” link, so the person you’re sharing with can download all the files in the folder.  Copy even displays CR2 files natively, making this a great service for photographers who work with RAW files.

Copy is great for sharing photos
