Creating a .gif file in QT Pro?!?!
can someone help me out or even let me know if this is possible
Export movie to picture. Then use Graphic Converter to open the file and save as GIF.

that didnt really work. it exported one frame of the movie and i opened it in graphic converter, but again only converted that one still image to a animated gif.
How can one still image be an animated GIF? Anyway save it in GC to anything BUT GIF. Non animated JPEG for instance. then save that as GIF.
What you want to do (create a .gif using QT Pro) can't be done. QuickTime can open .gif files (even preserve transparency) but the saved file will be .mov.
You can create an Image Sequence movie that will resemble the features on an animated .gif file, however.
Create your still images (sized identically) and save them to a new folder using sequencial naming (1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, etc.). They can be any format that QT understands.
Select Open Image Sequence, navigate to this new folder and highlight (single-click) the first file in the list. Click OK and select a "frame rate" for the new file.
QuickTime will assemble your files into one .mov file.
Graphic Converter can now do some work with .mov files and may even be able to export your image sequence. .gif is 8 bit (256 colors) so if you wish to use the .gif format you will lose a lot of data if your original QT import were in any format other than .gif.
Try this freeware to start and end in .gif format:

1. Use Copy to put a frame from movie on the clip board.
2. Open Graphic Converter and use New in File menu then chose Image with Clip Board.
3. Save As and choose Gif from the Format menu.
3 simple steps with Graphic Converter. I would image that other graphic would work the same.
