Using the Canon S2 IS to create small videos

John has written a great post outlining the steps to producing small video files using the S2 IS. I guess you could do this with any camera that produces movie files.

I will give this a try seeing as we have the same camera.

1. Shoot video with Canon S2 IS
2. Import video into Quicktime
3. Select the desired sequence and export movie to image sequence
4. Import images (31 in this case) into Photoshop Elements
5. Create new file. In this case 350x300 down from 640x480
6. Copy, paste, and position each of the 31 photos creating a 31 layer document.
7. Choose "save for web" select animated GIF
8. Save
