    I have a simple and stupid question, it would be nice to have the final cliplet saved in .gif file, when I convert from whatever .wmv or .mp4 in a gif file the final result is less than poor.

    tx for this superb work you are doing

    Photoshop has the best video->gif covert that I have found. 

    Note gif is not going to maintain all of the color fidelity of the video formats.  You only get 256 colors in a frame with gif vs. 16million colors for video formats.

    I have used the software and it is very handy and easy to work with.  I do agree that it would be help a lot for an output as a .gif file.  A .gif is much more usable than a WMV or MPEG4.  After I played with my video on Cliplets I took it to my account on Cinegif.com and converted it to an animated gif to use on my email.  Worked great.

    if the goal of cliplets is neat little little animations then gif is the ideal target output; not heavy movie files.
