Author’s Note: Please be aware that this is a very old post and is no longer very accurate. YouTube has since disabled animated .gifs and 
most of these programs and techniques are out of date. This is being left up because it may serve as useful to some. Enjoy.
Hey, if you have any questions, you should probably ask them here. There’s a better chance that they’ll be read and answered. Same thing with comments. There is no written tutorial. However, there is a video walkthrough after the break.
The Tutorial
Necessary Programs
I understand that there are other programs out there that do the same job. They may be easier or harder, but this is what I do.
hey umm i click on the adobe thing and it says i need to log in and all the jazz…so i try to start a new account on it..and it asks abunch of stuff about my company….what gives?
i just want a simple animated icon…..
any tips?
hey fantikerz!
good video, but how do you get the 'unregisterd hypercam 2' away?
Camtasia is very easy to make animations because you download it take the video without the hypercam and on the same program you can convert it into a GIF so its super easy, you can also drag in other gif's to make it more complicated and look better

Hey,
Will 'Adobe Photoshop 7.0' work for making the icons? I really do need help improving on my channel because my reputation is growing. If you can find any information about that I'd be glad to hear it. I am not very good at web searching.
Otherwise, how do I get 'Photoshop CS3'?
