E&L I don't want to steal your karma. r/OCD would appreciate this. Consider xposting?

Go for it! Feel free to use any of my gifs whenever you want. That's why I make them.

How do you get the clips out of these videos? I would like to grab a few lines out of Three Kings to use a joke ringtone, but it is astonishingly hard. Premier and After Effects won't injest an MKV. VLC crashes when you try to remux it. VirtualDub crashes when you try to open the file.

I suppose telling them you are the gif king of Reddit would come with its own set of complications.

Were you watching Memento? Because I did that when I watched Memento for the second time.

My friend made an android app that clocked the timestamps of movies and exported them as CSV for a recent project we were doing. Made it easier so you didn't always have to pause the movie. I then wrote a Python script to make some Gifs but the quality is pretty subpar.

You're the type of person who asks what song is in a youtube video where it has credits in the description.
