Turn one short idea into a loop.

Choose a short saved video.

Open Video studio, inspect the scenes and captions, then select Save video. A GIF can contain up to 15 seconds and 12 scenes, with at most 30 seconds of original composition before word removal. Use a short caption passage or shorten the scenes if you need less material. An export choice does not trim or rewrite the video for you.

GIF uses a 360-pixel short edge: 360 × 640 for portrait, 640 × 360 for landscape, 360 × 360 for square or 360 × 450 for 4:5. Keep text readable at that size. It samples motion and timing in 0.1-second frames at 10 fps and reduces colors to a palette, so fine gradients or rapid movement can look different from MP4.

Check the silent format before exporting.

1. Under Export format, choose GIF animation · silent loop.
2. Select Check export to inspect this exact saved version’s dimensions, duration, source-media budget and current trial capacity.
3. Select Export GIF. The queued job retains its version and format even if you keep editing.
4. Under Exports, find the row labelled GIF and wait for Ready to download.

The file repeats automatically and has no sound. Burned captions and other scene content stay visible; the original recording and saved composition remain unchanged. Each format uses one trial export attempt. Source media is limited to 12 MB in total, counting reused files once, and the GIF output must fit within 24 MB. A ready check reserves no capacity and does not promise completion time or file size.

Watch the whole loop and keep its exact file.

Select Review export, then Load exported GIF. Inspect a complete loop and the transition back to its opening. Use Hide animation to stop displaying it; review decisions stay unavailable while it is hidden. Show it again to continue inspection.

Download GIF saves this file with a .gif extension. Check it in its intended destination before sharing. A human approval records this export’s exact file and saved version; approval of an MP4 does not approve a GIF of the same video. An optional private preview link keeps the existing expiry, separate code and revocation controls. It does not publish the animation, and revocation cannot retrieve copies someone already opened or saved.

Recover without creating a duplicate attempt.

If the request result is uncertain, use Retry same export request. That keeps its original version, format and request key. Keep the page open, or check the Exports list after reloading before starting a new request. Cancel an unfinished export to free its active slot; an accepted attempt still counts toward the trial.

If GIF is unavailable or your video exceeds its bounds, choose MP4 or save a shorter version. If the file exceeds 24 MB, reduce the length or motion and request a new export, or use MP4. A GIF without narration can lose important context: revise the visible wording or keep the audio-bearing MP4 instead.

For the broader journey, follow the first-video guide, caption editing guide and version review guide. Longer loops, custom GIF resolutions, 4K and 60 fps are not part of this profile.
