What's the easiest way besides me recording them with Fraps or Hypercam2 and taking every individual frame, then putting them into Easy Gif animator.

Is there an all in one program or something? I see tons of CC gifs everywhere.

Hold down prntscn during gameplay. This will create a whole bunch of .bmps in your CC directory. Load and paste them together in the graphics program of your choice. That's how most people make gifs, I've heard that some others use fraps or some such.

No fraps and other recording programs like CamStudio are useless. Having that "middleman" avi to gif converter is confusing, seeing as you can't edit the individual frames.

I'll try prtscrn.

I dont know if it helps, but this is a good info page for recording footage from games:

Print Scrn is generally the best for making short gifs; for anything longer than a few seconds you should probably use other video software.
I use Game Maker 7 to load images, crop them, and save them as .gif. Then I use M$ GIF Animator to set the gif's looping and fps, cut out its extra frames, and preview it.

This will probably be the most stupid question you will ever hear but...do you just press the button or do you press multiple buttons to get it to take a picture? And.... where are they??? For visa?

Look for the button called print screen on your keyboard, depending on the make of your keyboard it should be right of F12.

Sorry but those did not answer my question. I already know where the BUTTON is. But WHERE are the pics where does it put them?? Or do you need to have something to make it work?

They are stored in the Cortex Command folder.

how do you make a gif at a 1:1 time scale?

Introducing: AnimGet.

The best screen capturing program thingy in my opinion.

And the Gif maker of my choice: Beneton Movie Gif

It's relatively easy to use, so you should'nt have any problems. And you can set the speed of frames for a
1:1 time ratio.

AnimGet kills my computer it uses half of my processor and 98% of my memory? Why the heck does it use so much freaking power? and that animator thing makes me manualy place in 1 frame at a time WTF

AnimGet works fine on my computer. And there is a button where you can load more than one frame. It's in the same row as the button where you add individual frames.

Animget records 1024x768 gifs, which are too big for BMG.

Oh just posting this realized I should set the resolution lower. But BMG's multi-frame input doesn't work...
