An experimental YouTube feature, so far only spotted on a single channel, allows users to create 6 second GIFs from any part of a video. Using the feature is quite easy, having only to hit the “Share” button, then select “GIF.”
From here, simply drag the scrubber across the section of the video you want to be turned into a GIF. This could be done for when people make funny faces, someone hits a tree on a swing, or anything else that might be funny.
We hope to see this feature rollout a bit broader in the future, and when it does, you can expect to see many more GIFs across the web.
Check out the feature yourself right here.
Nice way to incorporate a vine feature without rolling out a totally new service dedicated to doing the same thing. Nice.

Why?
The internet just got sillier
I didn’t think that was even possible.
Silly wabbitt, gifs are for kids.
Or we could let the GIF fad die.
They do get repetitive, but not all are bad.
Why? My brother and I react in GIFs in our response to our various texts. It’s quite entertaining and makes the work day go by more quickly.
I didn’t realize they were a fad. I thought they been popular for about 15 years now. I remember them back when I used AOL dial up.
uhhhhh

Looks like my weekend is planned out.
6 second gifs + 1/5 videos in channel = Confirmation of Nexus 6 for Verizon on January 5th! Yeah!
Or! Or! You could just use the site gifyoutube.com. Load up your favorite youtube video, change the url to be gifyoutube instead of youtube and it will convert it.
While that may work, this is still easier…
Agreed that Google will usually take something that exists and make it better, but pointing out that this was already pretty easy.
I could use this, since Photoshop no longer lets me import videos.
Amazing
