am in quite a different ubuntu now,
i want to save a gif that i just selected and copied off the net
it's weird it's so hard.
go into pictures, can't even create a new file....... am not used to this lack of options on right click
what's the quickest way?
I have gimp, but have never done anything with gifs in gimp
Here's a good tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
thought I would revive this thread to ask a similar but completely different question, what have people found is the best SW to clip a few words / handful of seconds of a video clip.
Like making a .gif but with sound?
Just personal opinions of SW experiences would be great, in any of the debian distros. Or if you only do it in Windows, you can mention that, and I can look it up and see what Ubuntu thinks is the best approximation of that sw.

Best thing I can recommend is to look up simple video editing software. If you look up free video editing software it's 50/50 if a top hit will work out (at least for my non tech savy self) but try enough times and you'll get a good one eventually.
true : ) I used to always end up screwing up my OS with permission problems, and then updating kernels incorrectly, and now by trying to change my file system displays and in amongst all of this I've long had issues downloading too many different graphics editing programs that somehow conflicted with ubuntu and made everything crash.
have just backed up every piece of data onto external HD so am ready to really burger things up for good xD
i wish i was better at reading manuals, but i like it when someone says Try this one - it's as easy as VLC or something... it's some kind of laziness + impatience + ADD or something, who cares, but yeh I somehow remember things better if an individual tells me something rather than some website. Which I never trust when it doesn't have a comment section anyway.
Easiest way: open the video in VLC and just hit record for the part you want to grab.
Another way a bit more accurate: Use Openshot. I'm fairly sure it is in the main software repo.
Linux Command line method: use ffmpeg
