Abstract (up to 300 words to describe your proposal)
An animated GIF from last year's Wiki Indaba

Learn how to make animated GIFs of your own using web-based tools and small video clips! In this hands-on tutorial, we'll look at how you can make and edit animated GIFs of your own for use on Wikimedia Commons and in social media posts. With GIF use growing across the internet, we want to help photographers and videographers share Wikimedia stories and knowledge content using this popular file format.
