Does anybody here know a way to create and post fight gifs asap? I remember seeing guys like RJJH posting them within minutes of it happening, are these guys just going to reddit or somewhere else or are they making them? Any help will be appreciated as I'd love to have this place loaded with gifs as the events take place.

Here are the instructions i saved n this topic to do this one day. It's a lot of setup.
>I have a monitor attached to my laptop, [as pictured.](http://imgur.com/A7Pszl6) >1. This is the official BBC or ITV (whichever is broadcasting it) stream, full screen on my laptop. The BBC stream is better because (a) no adverts, and (b) I can pause and rewind, which makes it possible to go back and get GIFs that I missed. >2. This is the recording software, exactly [as described in this post.]( http://www.reddit.com/r/Formula1GIFS...i_create_gifs/ ) This produces .mp4 files. >3. A browser window designated for interacting with gfycat. Gfycat does the conversion from mp4 to gif and html5 video. >4. A notepad file( http://imgur.com/ue0ep3T ) where I edit and save my comments. >5. A browser window for interacting with reddit. >If GIFable moments are few and far between, I run through windows 2 to 5 in order, recording, uploading, and posting the GIF. Usually, however, it's a bit more frantic as things are happening faster than I can upload them. I have to keep an eye on the stream, ready to record if something interesting is about to happen (I have become an expert at anticipating when a replay is about to be shown), while trying to upload and post GIFs as soon as they come in.
So capture event into mp4 and upload cut up mp4 to gfycat for viewing.

Capture card for legal paper view.
Screen capture software for recording online streams.

Fucking perfect reply man thanks! I'm comfortable On a computer so I'll try to get this all going asap. This is a scenario where I'd toss a VU.

I like to make GIFs of things that happens in events. I may do them again and post to this here community. I wont be as fast as those guys on Reddit, but it'll be original work with my take on things.
