I had an earlier version and both have worked more or less fine. A couple of issues: one, I find it cumbersome to trim the video; only a handful of frames are shown at a time, and you have to wait for more frames to load either before or after the segment that is shown. The easiest way is to play the video and then pause where you want it, but finding the exact spot can be a bit fiddly. The thumbnails are small for my terrible vision.

The second issue is that the program seems to import my phone videos either sideways or upside down, and there is no rotate function. I realize that the issue with the orientation of imported videos probably originates with my iphone, but being able to rotate sideways videos seems like it should be a key feature. There is a flip function, and that works for upside down videos (flip vertical, then flip horizontal), but nothing for sideways video. I ended up making the gif sideways, then using an online editor to rotate it to the correct orientation, But this seems like something that the program itself should have allowed me to do.

For free, I can live with the issues. But I don't think I'd pay for it.

Mike H, Probably. And I could probably use something else to rotate the video as well. But it would be nice if it were easier to do all within the same program.

Tried it and basically it works. I had two issues. First, it did not appear to import AVI files, although it imported MP4 and MKV just fine. Second, the custom output size option does not offer to maintain the aspect ratio of the original (or the cropped original if you use that facility) so if you need, for example, a certain fixed height for your GIF then you have to calculate the appropriate width and enter it manually. As a frequent creator of GIFs from video I find this a pain. Apart from these gripes I found that it functions well.

One more complaint, on closing, it does not remember the source or destination folder so the next time I run the program it reverts to the defaults. Since most users probably use specific folders for their videos and gif files this seems like a bit of an oversight.

I have this as version 2.4.0 from a previous giveaway it produces simple re-renders of frames down sampled into GIF frames. It does not optimise the animated GIF's to use highly compressable transparent regions where subsiquent frames regions remain unchanged so the algorithm results in much larger animated GIF files than otherwise would be possible. I note that it also uses --enable-gpl compiled FFMPEG libraries without attributing the FFMPEG open source project and without providing a copy of the GPLv3 license text or licensing their product with a GPLv3 compatible license.

Anyone able to find out what is new or fixed in this release? I can't find anything in their product page or support page or FAQ page... GUI looks the same, no what's new notification within the installation, no linked to user guide with what's new... nothing, nada... has there been ANY program changes or just a version number increment just to give the impression there has been some development? The only guide is linked to on their website not from the program and it remains unchanged for a long time with no mention of version changes. Only the executable files MeVGConvert.bpl and Video2Gif.exe have any internal changes and the Borland Pascal Library (.bpl) only has minimal internal changes while Video2Gif.exe does have some significant internal changes like the license key data and giveaway validity URL and version number changes and some unknown code changes.
