I recently came across an old and rather obscure cartoon from my childhood, which features a cute little inflation scene that I wouldn't mind sharing with the community. However, simply posting a sequence of screencaps doesn't really do the scene justice, so I was wondering if anyone here on the board knew of any software (preferrably free, or at least very low-priced) that I could use to capture the scene as an animated gif? I'm not very tech-savvy, so the more user-friendly, the better.
Any recommendations at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

You can pause the video, and capture the screen with a button on the keyboard called "impr Pant (pet sis)". Then go to the program and paste it. This can be a bit tedious, so only get the key frames. A free program you can use to make gifs, is Game Maker. However, in my case a gif in which every image has a big resolution gets very slow with Game Maker. But my computer has 224 MB of RAM. Maybe you would have a different experience.
Another option is to give the video to someone who knows how to make gifs. If you describe the scene, you might attract the interest of people who like it.
