Technical Notes:

  • GIF Brewery will not alter the original file and settings just impact the GIF.
  • GIF Brewery can only open and create clips from movies that Quicktime can open and play. Apple provides a list of the file formats and codecs at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3775.
  • Note, however, that GIF Brewery cannot open any DRM-protected files.
  • If you are using Quicktime components, such as Perian, Flip4Mac, or 3ivx, you MUST make sure they are up-to-date and compatible with Apple’s Sandbox. Out-dated components will lead to GIF Brewery crashing.

If you are having an issue with any of the codecs listed above, please contact us! Note: If you experience any crashes whatsoever please contact Hello, Resolven at [email protected]. We are unable to diagnose the issue without help from effected users.

I love this tool for manipulating short videos. You can resize, crop, add overlays, adjust color to get the look you want. From there you can add captions, save out scenes, or grab a sequence of scenes for a stop motion look. Great for all ages and not over-kill like an expensive, full video processor would be.
