Do i need to download a certain program to be able to do this?

Any help at all is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

You'll need to download two programs at least.  this is the easiest way to do it:

download and install some kind of program that will take a video or preferably portion of a video and break it up frame by frame into individual images and save them into a specified folder. I used to know of a program that could do this plus open just about any kind of media file in existence but I completely forgot the name of it and wish I could remember it. It started with a V i think.

Also, download and install unfreeze (link below)

Take apart the video with the first program then put it back togeth with the second. The file you're creating is called a GIF image, it's jsut an animated image.

Answer 2

if you have the footage use quicktime pro to export it as jpeg pics. then put the pics in photoshop and make an gif animation.

Answer 3

That's an animated gif.
