Convert Vine Videos To GIF Animations On Mac With VineGifR

Twitter’s Vine app is to videos what Twitter itself is to blogging. It weeds out the possibility of having every minute detail in a video, and forces you to focus on what actually matters, by restricting the maximum clip length to a mere 6 seconds, similar to how a single tweet can't exceed 140 characters. Before these 6 second videos invaded your Twitter timeline, there were GIFs that offers (and still offer) pretty much the same thing on not just Twitter, but the rest of the internet as well, sans the sound of course. VineGifR is a free Mac app that lets you turn a Vine video in to a GIF file, so that you can easily share it on any website, Tumblr being the most popular example. All you need to do is paste the URL of the video into the app and in five minutes, your GIF will be ready. The GIF quality is pretty good, the app is reasonably fast, and there are no watermarks whatsoever. Read More
