Creating Animated GIF Files for Electronic Presentations Using Photoshop

OBJECTIVE. Our objective is to present a simple method for converting movie clips to animated GIFs (graphics interchange format) using Photoshop.

CONCLUSION. Although animated GIF is a more reliable format than movie clips (e.g., AVI and QuickTime) for presenting dynamic data sets in PowerPoint presentations, this output format is not available on most radiology workstations. Therefore, many academic radiologists still experience the problem of incompatible codecs and missing file links when trying to show movie clips in their PowerPoint presentations. One way to resolve this issue is to convert the movie clips to animated GIFs. In this article, we provide a simple method for this conversion using Photoshop—a common software application used by radiologists.
