You need two programs, Adobe Photoshop and GIF Movie Gear, and if you want to take screencaps from a movie to make a scene from a movie, like jeremy88's avatar, you need CyberLink DVD.
Here are some instructions I posted in another forum

Then I open up each Screencap in 'Paint'. Copy it using the marquee tool or however you spell it, and paste it into Adobe Photoshop, resize it, with at least one side reaching 100 pixels or less and save it as a .gif file.
Then you drag all the Gifs (I usually end up with about 50-120) into Gif Movie Gear 4.1 and adjust timing and repeat acordingly.
Here is a better link on how to create an animated GIF.

To take screencaps you need Cyberlink Power DVD, I think you can get a 30-day trial somewhere.
You won't need Cyberlink PowerDVD for an avatar like mine (where I just use pictures, not a movie scene)
That is the easiest way I can explain it sorry

It takes a very long time. I also take requests, I made an old one of Disney-Fans, which I think is in this thread or the signature thread. And I just made an avatar for A.I.P.
