I would like to look into using a few GIFs and video clips on my blog to add interest and bring some movement to the blog. I will need to research what applications I can use to create them and ways of embedding them onto the blog rather than from youtube links etc.

(Having had a look at available beauty GIFs now I might be able to use pre-existing ones too...)
I have had a go at making my own simple GIF out of the little behind the scenes freckles shoot clip, I used IMGflip (https://imgflip.com/gifgenerator). It was really easy and I made selections to play and reverse play the image which looked pretty seamless I think. The bad points though is that the GIF isn't very high quality (but that might have been because the video was from my phone) and it has a watermark of the website on it, however it was good to try it out!
