GIFs can be a nice way to embed short and silent video sequences on wiki pages.
Longer and narrated videos are best uploaded elsewhere (like YouTube Makers do it) and just linked from this wiki.
Online Converters
There are tons of free conversion websites out there that let you create GIFs from common video formats...these are just some examples we've tried.
- Giphy.com
- quick processing, allows adjustment of length and starting time, sticker/caption function
- accepts mp4, mov, mpg and m4v videos
- Zamzar.com
- only converts entire uncropped videos (might lead to large files)
