Running a command line isn't coding. :) If you have ffmpeg and gifsicle installed, it's quite easy. Just replace vote_for_witnesses.mov with your movie file and witnesses.gif with the output file you want. You can google for how to install those two command line tools (as well as instructions for tweaking the parameters). Most of what I've learned, I learned through Google. Sometimes using a search engine well is the only skill you need. That and persistence.

shows you how much i don't know! haha :)
thanks for trying to help me understand
