COLORING + SHARPENING TUTORIAL
someone asked for a coloring tutorial and my sharpening settings, so here it is! there are also a few tips to achieve more HQ gifs. :)
tutorial under the cut!
FOR HIGH-QUALITY GIFS
FILE SIZES
it doesn’t matter what your sharpening settings are if the file you’re using to gif is too low quality, so i tend to look for the best that i can get when downloading stuff. 
usually, movies (+2h) look better if they’re 5GB or more, while an episode (40 min/1h) can look good with even 1GB. the minimum definition i try to find is 1080p, but i gif with 2160p (4k) when available. unfortunately, not every computer can handle 4k, but don’t worry, you can gif with 1080p files just fine if they are big enough. contrary to popular belief, size does matter! which means sometimes a bigger 1080p file is better than a smaller 2160p one, for example.
SCREENCAPPING METHOD
this can too influence the quality of your gifs. as a gifmaker, i’ve tried it all: video frames to layers, directly opening video clips, loading files into stack, and i’ve finally settled down with opening screencaps as an image sequence. with bigger files, it doesn’t matter much what technique you use, but i’ve noticed with smaller files you can do wonders if you screencap (either by loading files into stack or opening as an image sequence) instead of using video clips. for example, this gif’s original video file was only 4GB (so smaller than i’ve usually go for), if you can believe it!
Tumblr media
here’s a tutorial for setting up and screencapping with MPV, the media player i use to screencap. again, you can keep using video clips for bigger files, but you’ll find this useful when dealing with dire causes. i don't file loads into stack, though, like the video does. i open as an image sequence (open > screencap folder > select any image > click the image sequence button). just select OK for the speed. this will open your screencaps as a video clip (blue bar) in timeline mode (i'm a timeline gifmaker, i don't know about you). you will need this action pack to convert the clip into frames if you're a frames gifmaker. i suggest you convert them into frames even if you're a timeline gifmaker, just convert them into a timeline again at the end. that way you can delete the screencaps right away, otherwise you will delete the screencaps and get a static image as a "gif".
Tumblr media
ATTENTION if you’re a Mac Sonoma user, MPV won’t be an option for you unless you downgrade your system. that is, if you have an Intel chip. if you have M1 Max chip (or even a better one), here’s a fix for MPV you can try while keeping that MacOS, because nowadays MPV is skipping frames in its latest build. or you can use MPlayer instead for less hassle. here are two tutorials for setting and using MPlayer. Windows users are fine, you can use MPV without trouble.
FOR EVEN MORE QUALITY
ADD NOISE
here’s a tutorial for adding noise as a way to achieve more HQ gifs if your original material is too low quality.
REDUCE NOISE WITH CAMERA RAW
instead of adding noise, you can reduce it, especially if your gif is very noisy as it is. 
the path is filter > camera raw > detail > nose reduction. i do this before sharpening, but only my video file isn't great to begin with. because it’s a smart filter, you can reduce or increase its opacity by clicking the bars next to its name in the layers panel.
TOPAZ AI
i use Topaz Photo AI to increase the quality of my screencaps when i need to. it’s paid software, but there are… ways to find it for free, usually on t0rrent websites. if someone’s interested, i can make a tutorial solely about it in the future.
SHARPENING SETTINGS
here are my sharpening settings (filter > sharpen > smart sharpen). i sharpen things twice: 500% 0.4px + 10% 10px. here's an action for it, for more convenience. here's a tutorial on how to use Photoshop actions. for animated stuff, i use this action pack.
Tumblr media
COLORING
here’s the gif i'm gonna use as a base. it’s already sharpened like the way i always do it.
Tumblr media
LIGHTNING THE SHOTS
half of the secret of a good coloring is good lightning. i always useCurves (layers > new adjustment layer > curves) and Brightness & Contrast (layers > new adjustment layer > brightness & contrast). the settings depend on the scene you’re giffing, but i always try make my gifs bright and with high contrast to make the colors pop.
CURVES
besides lighting your scene, the Curves adjustment layer has four automatic options that will color-correct it for you. it’s not always perfect and it doesn’t mean you won’t need to do further coloring, but it’s a great start. it’s a lifesaver for most ridiculously yellow scenes. look at the difference! this gif uses the 3rd automatic option (the screenshot below isn't mine btw so that's why the fourth option is the chosen one), from top to bottom. what automatic option you need to choose depends on the gif.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
sometimes i like to tweak my Curves layer. not everybody does that, it’s not that necessary and if you’re not careful, it can screw your gif up. to modify your layer by hand, you will need to click and drag points of that straight line in the position you desire. this is the concept behind it:
Tumblr media
basically, the lower part of the line handles the shadows, while the upper part handles the highlights of the image. if you pull a highlight point up, the image’s highlights will be brighter. if you pull it down, it will make them darker. same thing for the shadow points. you should play with it to get a grasp of it, that’s what i did when i first started giffing.
BRIGHTNESS & CONTRAST
then i added a bit of brightness and contrast.
Tumblr media
CHANNEL MIXER
the scene looked a bit too yellow, so i used the Channel Mixer (layer > new adjustment layer > channel mixer) adjustment layer. here’s a tutorial of how it works. not every scene needs the Channel Mixer layer though, i mostly use it to remove heavy overall tints. in this particular case, the Curves layer got rid of most of the yellow, but i wanted the gif to be just a bit more blue so the Channel Mixer tweaks are very minimal.
Tumblr media
SELECTIVE COLOR
now, this adjustment layer i always use: Selective Color (layer > new adjustment layer > selective color). this is THE adjustment layer to me, alongside the Curves one. this is how it works:
Tumblr media
ie, you can separately edit a color this way, giving it tints. for this gif, i wanted to make the colors more vibrant. to achieve that, i edited the selected colors this way:
Tumblr media
for the reds, i added even more red in them by moving the first slider to the right, making the color more vibrant. for his hat to have a more warm tint, i added yellow to the reds (third slider, moving it to the right). finally, to make the reds stronger, i moved the last slider to the right (more black).
for the yellows, i made them brighter by adding white to them, thus making the tile wall and Paddington more bright as well.
for the cyans and the blues, i just added the maximum (+100) of black that i could.
i wanted for Paddington's nose to be brighter, so i added more white to the whites.
lastly, i added depth to the blacks by increasing their own blackness.
you should always play with the Selective Colors sliders for a bit, before deciding what you want or need. with time, you will automatically know what to change to correct the color grading. it all takes practice!
HUE/SATURATION
i don’t know if you noticed, but there are some green spots on the blue wall behind Paddington. to correct that, i added a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer (layer > new adjustment layer > hue/saturation) and made the saturation of the greens 0%, making that unwanted green disappear from the background.
Tumblr media
while the green spots on the wall are specific for this gif, i use hue/saturation a lot to tweak, well, hue and saturation. sometimes someone’s skin is too yellow, i made it redder by tweaking the reds and the yellows, or vice-versa. the hue bar follows the rainbow bar, so the maximum settings (+100 and -100) give the selected color to change its hue to something more red or pink (the rainbow extremities). changing hue can give pretty whacky results, like turning someone’s skin tone to green, so you will need to play with it to get the hang of it. you can also tweak the opacity of your hue/saturation layer to further improve your gif’s coloring. i didn’t do it in this case, the opacity is still 100%. the reds and the blues had their saturation increased to make them pop just a bit more, without affecting the other colors.
COLOR BALANCE
the highlights of the gif still had a green tint to it due to the automatic correction of the Curves layer, so i used Color Balance. this is how it works: instead of giving specific colors some tints, you can give them to the shadows, highlights, and mid-tones. if your shadows are too blue, you counterbalance them with the opposite color, yellow. same thing with the cyan-red and magenta-green pairings. in my case, i added a bit of magenta.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
B&W GRADIENT MAP
now, if this gif was a dish, it’s time for the salt and pepper. i always add a Gradient Map (layer > new adjustment layer > gradient map) (black to white gradient) with the Soft Light blending mode, thus giving my shadows more depth without messing with the mid-tones and highlights. it also doesn’t “deep fry” (you know those memes?) the gif too much by adding even more contrast. usually, the opacity of the layer is between 30% to 70%, it all depends on the gif. it always does wonders, though!
Tumblr media
COLOR FILTER
finally, i like to add Color Filters (layer > new adjustment layer > color filter) to my gifs. it’s very handy when giving different scenes for the same minimalistic set because it makes them kind of match despite having completely different colors. in this gif’s case, i added a “deep blue” filter, opacity 50% density 25. you can change the density and the opacity of the layer for further editing, again, it all depends on the gif.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
VIBRANCE
if i feel like it, i add a vibrance layer (layer > new adjustment layer > vibrance) to make the colors pop. this can ruin your coloring sometimes, especially when regarding skin color, so be careful. i didn't do it in this gif because i felt i didn't need it.
TA-DA! 🥳
AN OTHER EXAMPLE
the color grading of the original scene it’s pretty good as it is, to be honest. let’s see a worse scenario, a VERY yellow one:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
no channel mixer this time because the automatic curves option dealt with the yellowness, but you can see it made the gif too green. i needed to correct that with the following adjustment layers:
curves (automatic option) (gif 2) >> same curves layer (tweaks) (gif 3) >> brightness & contrast (gif 4) >> hue/saturation (tweaked cyan+blue+green) >> selective color >> color balance (gif 5) >> b&w gradient map >> (sepia) filter >> vibrance (gif 6)
i added a hue/saturation layer to remove the blues & greens before my selective color layer because i thought that was more urgent than tweaking the tint of all colors. color balance (gif 4) was the real hero here, though, by removing the green tint. the selective color layer was meant to make the red pop more than anything else, because the rest looked pretty good, especially her skin tone (despite the green tint). you can notice that tweaking the curves layer (small gif 3) also helped A LOT with the green problem.
tl;dr 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫
here's a list of my go-to's while coloring and lightning gifs. it's not a rule, just a guide. there are gifs in which i don't use all these adjustment layers, or use them in a different order. it all depends!
1. curves (automatic option + tweaks) 2. brightness & contrast 3. channel mixer 4. selective color 5. hue/saturation 6. color balance 7. b&w gradient map 8. color filter 9. vibrance
i'll suggest that you study each adjustment layer listed for more info, either with other Tumblr tutorials or YouTube ones. the YouTube ones focus on images, but you can translate what they teach to gif making very easily. you can ask me to further explain any adjustment layer, too! i was brief to keep this short (which i kinda failed lol).
feel free to ask me for clarification or something else about gifmaking wise, i always like to help. ❤️

ok jeg vil bare høre med du om noe, jeg har pleid bruke en nettside som heter "Safefrom.net" når jeg skal laste ned videoer, det var en dame på youtube som anbefalte nettsiden til nedlastninger. Jeg pleide bruke den mye i 2020-2021 ish, og når jeg søker på google etter trygge nedlastnings nettsider så kommer Safefrom som første prior. Men, det jeg synes er litt merkelig er nettsidens design, det ser jo ikke veldig troverdig ut. Og jeg har hørt mange ha forskjellige meninger om nettsiden, noen sier den er fantastisk og enkel å bruke, mens andre sier den er utrygg og at man ikke kan stole på den…det er klar at jeg blir veldig forvirra over dette🥲 jeg lasta ned noen videoer nå nylig igjen, og det som er med nettsiden er at når man laster ned en video, så åpner den automatisk en annen fane som leder til gud vet hva, men jeg pleier alltid lukke den før den loader helt. Jeg har aldri opplevd å få virus eller noe sånt fra denne nettsiden, ingenting av mine elektroniske gjenstander har heller blitt ødelagt eller hacket på grunn av nettsiden…men, jeg skal ikke lyve, nettsiden virker litt sketchy😅 jeg kommer nok ikke bruke nettsiden igjen fremmover. Men lurer bare på om du vet om det finnes trygge og bedre nettsider der ute hvor man kan laste ned videoer, og om det er mulig å få virus uten at man vet det?🧐 eller er det noe som man merker når man får det?
Prøvde nettsiden selv på laptopen min med GhostBSD, og det var kun videoen som ble lastet ned så det virket ut som det gikk bra? Men jeg fikk ingen popups eller at den åpnet vinduer, så lurer på om jeg har på strenge sikkerhetsregler så jeg ikke fikk sett om den faktisk har virus :S Pluss at GhostBSD er et så niche operativ system at den ha'kke sjans til å få virus lol
(Jeg skal prøve noen nettsider i en Windows virtuell maskin siden Windows er mest sannsynlig å få virus hvis det skulle være noe, så kommer jeg tilbake til denne posten med resultatet!) EDIT: Done and done, har reblogget resultatene her!
Jeg har brukt andre nettsider før som har funket ålreit, men tror de er borte nå :...) Bortsett fra y2mate? Men er usikker på den tbh. Det skal gå an å laste ned med VLC, men da jeg prøvde det i macOS Sonoma så kræsjet VLC lol.
Det er ærlig talt vanskelig å vite hvilke nettsider som er trygge eller ikke, men sikkerhetsinnstillinger i nettleseren har mye å si :D
(PLS SE REBLOGGEN, fortsett å krysse ut fanene og blokker dem om du kan!! TLDR: savefrom åpnet fane med nedlastningsknapp som lastet ned et virus som ikke ble oppdaget av Windows Defender)
(Lang post, putter litt "vite om det er virus eller ei" og anna sikkerhet nedenfor)
Det er veldig bra du krysser ut de vinduene før de får lastet inn! Det kan hende de ikke er mer enn irriterende reklame eller forsøk på scam, men det kan og hende de drar til en url som automatisk laster ned ting :U De fleste nettlesere lar deg blokkere pop-ups! Fant en liste her over hvordan man gjør det i de fleste populære nettleserne her: Lenkeee :)
Adblock hjelper også mye, siden mange nettlesere som gir deg virus gjør dette ved hjelp av lenker gjemt i reklamene. Pluss man har jo de irriterende, store, grønne "DOWNLOAD :3" knappene som fake -u-" Disse forsvinner med adblock B))) Og blokker cookies! Si nei til cookies alltid🤚
Sist men ikke minst, vær obs på filendelsen på videoen du laster ned! Vanlig video ender som regel på .mp4, .mov, .avi, .wmv, .webm og lignende. Hvis det er lyd, så er det .mp3, .m4a, .wav, .aif, .ogg og flere som er ok. Ser du at den ender på ting som f.eks. .iso, .exe, .js, .dmg, .pkg, .sctp, eller ja alt annet en hva du forventer en video eller lydfil skal være, slett den tvert!! Windows og Mac skjuler automatisk filendelsene, her er hvordan du viser dem på Windows, og her på Mac.
Jau, det er garantert flere tips å komme med som jeg ikke kommer på nå. Men her er i hvert fall noe :)
