So you're watching a fun video on YouTube. Neat, good for you.  You've seen a moment you really like, and you want to convert that fun little moment from YouTube into a GIF. I get it, pal, GIFs can be fun. Don't be embarrassed if you don't know where to start. Creating an animated GIF from YouTube is easy and I've broken the process down into 10 very simple steps.  OK then, let's do it.  1. Pull up your YouTube video and copy the link For demonstration purposes, I'm choosing the "Instagram" sketch from Netflix's hilariously bonkers, truly wonderful sketch show I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson.   Why? Because I love that show and it is very GIF-able.  2. Go to Giphy.com and create an account You don't need a fancy GIF maker or Photoshop to create a GIF from a YouTube video. You just a Giphy account.   I'm assuming here that if you're looking for tips to make a GIF, you do not have a Giphy account. So go ahead and make one. You must have an account to make GIFs on Giphy, which wasn't the case in the past. It's simple: You just need an email address and a password. There are other GIF converters out there, but using Giphy is going to be the easiest path and will leave you with a quality GIF.  3. On Giphy.com, click the "create" icon right beside "Upload in the righthand corner. It looks like this: Image: Screenshot / Giphy 4. Paste your YouTube link into the blank space under the title "Add Any URL"  Below is what that'll look like. You can also make GIFs from Vimeo, Giphy, or from videos you have on your computer.  Image: Screenshot / giphy 5. Once you paste your link,…

Instagram/brittany_broski?imgriffinjohnson TikTok influencers are taking a break from their usual content and making their way to YouTube for a cooking competition that will premiere next week. Dish This will be a six episode series on AwesomenessTV's YouTube channel, and it'll feature all of your favorite TikTok influencers going head to head in the kitchen. Basic Bitchen: 100+ Everyday Recipes―from Nacho Average Nachos to Gossip-Worthy Sunday Pancakes―for the Basic Bitch in Your Life Dish This will be hosted by Chowhound's editor-at-large Joey Skladany and will center around recipes from his upcoming cookbook Basic Bitchen. Contestants will be given photos of dishes from the cookbook and will have to recreate it with no hints besides the picture in front of them. Skladany will then judge the final dishes based on ingredients, presentation, and creativity. To add to the stakes, the contestants will be given challenges throughout the competition, and whoever wins can get tips for how to cook the dish or choose to sabotage the other contestant. There are some pretty big TikTok names lined up for the show, including Noah Beck and Griffin Johnson from the "Sway House," Brittany Broski (who rose to fame from her kombucha reaction video), Sarah Schauer, Cristian Dennis, Tyshon Lawrence, Daniella and Devenity Perkins, Sofie Dossi, and Zak Dossi. This content is imported from TikTok. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site. The six-part series will premiere on AwesomenessTV's YouTube channel on August 4 at 4p.m. EST. Skladany's cookbook will be released on the same day (but you can preorder it now!). If we're lucky, we'll get some behind the scenes content from Dish This on each influencer's individual TikTok accounts, so we have a lot to look…

Facebook is adding official music videos to its service in the US after partnering with major music companies including Sony Music, Universal Music Group, and Warner Music Group, the company announced today. The videos can be found through Facebook Watch and via individual artists’ pages. They can be shared, reacted to, or commented on like any other video on Facebook. It’s a big shift for Facebook, which in the past has only been able to share short previews of music videos from artists on major US labels, TechCrunch previously reported, or just audio in some cases, according to Bloomberg. With this launch, Facebook is stepping into an area where YouTube is dominant. Music videos are one of the most popular genres on Google’s video site. Bloomberg notes that Facebook’s interest in music videos likely stems from the more lucrative advertising rates associated with video. As part of its announcement, Facebook says that its platform will feature exclusive music video content from a variety of artists including J Balvin, Karol G, Sebastián Yatra, Alejandro Fernández, and Calibre 50. A new official music video from Lele Pons will exclusively premiere on Facebook, and it also says it will have an exclusive video from Panamanian R&B singer Sech. Bloomberg previously reported that Facebook had been offering to fund the production of certain music videos in exchange for exclusivity. Facebook has previously offered music videos in Thailand and India. The launch of music videos on Facebook comes just months after its Facebook Gaming section inherited Mixer’s streaming partners when Microsoft closed down the service. All Mixer sites and apps automatically started redirecting to Facebook Gaming on July 22nd. Facebook says its new music videos section will be available on iOS, Android, and desktops starting today.

Their performance, from June 25, 1999, came after sets from Blondie, Bush and Hole, among other artists.Singer Michael Stipe recalled, “Hole did such a great set, I was like—I’ve got to ramp this up, I’ve got to be great. I think it was maybe a moment for R.E.M. and the UK where we had kind of been forgotten or pushed aside by younger bands, and that was a particular moment at Glastonbury where I think we pulled ourselves back to the front of the line and actually proved, this is what we’re capable of. It was a great show for us!”R.E.M.‘s set included “The One I Love,” “Losing My Religion,” “Man on the Moon,” “Everybody Hurts,” “Daysleeper” and “It’s the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine).”The audio from the performance was recently released as part of the band’s “R.E.M. at the BBC” collection.

Image: Screengrab, YouTube I’ve been thankful in quarantine that you can find Errol Morris’s documentaries on streaming services, not only because I think about Donald Rumsfeld’s bonkers word salad weekly, but also because Stephen Hawking grappling with the concept of origins helped put things into perspective. A few days ago, Morris quietly uploaded his two-season Bravo series First Person (2000) to YouTube; from a brief perusal, it is a delight. It’s also a product of Morris’s favoured televisual invention, the terrifyingly-named Interrotron. The series features anybody with a story, but mostly, studies fringe pathology and moral deviance: there’s a “crime scene cleaner,” a woman who dates serial killers, a cryonics trailblazer who describes freezing his mum’s head. The series title and cutaways highlight Morris’s carefully-orchestrated design to get subjects to make direct eye contact with the viewer — an approach accomplished by a set of two cameras and two, two-way teleprompter mirrors, superimposing a live feed of both the director and interviewee over the lenses. (You can see a diagram by production designer Steve Hardie here.) Today, we might think of this as video conferencing, but it’s better; the camera on a laptop is still slightly above the image of the other person’s face. Image: Screengrab, YouTube Prior to the Interrotron, Morris told FLM Magazine in a 2004 interview, he used to strain to put his head right next to the camera lens in order to simulate a real conversation.“We all know when someone makes eye contact with us. It is a moment of drama,” he said. “Perhaps it’s a serial killer telling us that he’s about to kill us; or a loved one acknowledging a moment of affection. Regardless, it’s a moment with dramatic value. We know when people make eye contact with us, look away and then make…

(Photo by Valery HACHE / AFP) (Photo credit should read VALERY HACHE/AFP via Getty Images) AFP via Getty Images BT Sport will once again transmit the UEFA Champions League and Europa League finals for free in the U.K. on YouTube – cementing the video platform's role as a key free-to-air channel for sports broadcasters. The coronavirus pandemic has played havoc with the usual schedule of the tournaments, which are usually played out throughout the course of a season, and has led to a change in hosting arrangements. Istanbul, Turkey was due to host the Champions League final, while Gdansk, Poland was set to be the venue for the conclusion of the Europa League. Both cities will receive an opportunity to host their respective showpieces in 2021. Champions League final YouTube But for this year, the remaining Champions League knockout games will take place in Portugal and the Europa League ties in Germany. As many as 26 matches will be played over the course of 19 days, with many viewing the tournaments as a replacement for Euro 2020, which itself was postponed to 2021 due to the pandemic. The action begins on August 5th, with the Europa League concluding in Cologne on August 21st and the Champions League final two days later in Lisbon. In the U.K., BT Sport will show every single game live and will also make a free highlights and magazine show called ‘Club 2020’ available for free on the BT Sport app and on YouTube. As is now customary, viewers will be given the option to watch the action with or without artificial crowd noise added to the production. “Every game will…

Are you ready to test the science of magic in the Harry Potter films? YouTube Originals has ordered a second season of Could You Survive the Movies? — its docuseries that picked up a Daytime Emmy over the weekend. Hosted by YouTuber Jake Roper, the series from Ample Entertainment explores the magic and science behind classic movies including Back to the Future, Jumanji and Die Hard. The new season set for early 2021 will look at the power of water in Titanic, the science of sound and acoustics behind A Quiet Place and more — along with the Potter examination. Roper and his team of “EduTubers” use immersive re-creations that blend unscripted scientific exploration with narrative storytelling. Each experiment transports viewers as the crew investigates the science of their favorite films — all while attempting to answer the important question: Could you survive the movies? The show picked up a trophy for Outstanding Educational or Informational Series at the virtual 47th annual Daytime Emmy Awards on Sunday. “The team on this series is nothing short of exceptional, and we’re so glad they’re getting the recognition they deserve,” said Ari Mark and Phil Lott, co-founders of Ample Entertainment. “Hats off to YouTube for their very real commitment to content that intersects entertainment with education.” Mark, Lott, Roper and David Brown are executive producers on Could You Survive the Movies? “Jake has brought this series to life through his passion for cinema and science, and I can’t wait for fans to see what he has in store for Season 2,” said Susanne Daniels, Global Head of Original Content for YouTube Originals.
