How to make a GifV using XboxClips.com and Imgur Vid-Gif

Guide

So I have seen some people around here saying that they don't know how to make a GifV from an XboxClip, and others saying that Imgur Vid-Gif has been disabled from XboxClips, but I do this pretty much every day so I figured I could outline the steps to help you out.

  1. First thing you need to do is go to XboxClips.com.

  2. Type in your Gamertag in the upper right hand corner, so it takes you to your specific page, like so: Mercules904's Videos.

  3. Click on whatever clip you want to make a GifV of, and then copy the URL at the top. So I choose this clip, and then I copy the actual address (http://xboxclips.com/Mercules904/2a8323e4-6c84-4698-9818-fd1c44cff649) by selecting it and pressing Cntrl-C on the keyboard, or right clicking it and selecting copy, or doing whatever the hell it is Macs do.

  4. To the right of the video, you will see a green rectangular button that says "Create Gif." You click on that and it will take you to Imgur's Vid-Gif Maker.

  5. Now, the issue is that inside the Gif maker box, it will say Sorry! An error occurred when loading this video: The video couldn't be played in your browser because the video format is not supported by your browser, or the remote server messed up. That's fine! What you need to do is delete the website address that was automatically posted in the box, and paste the one we just copied that links directly to the clip.

  6. Once you do that, it will allow you to make the Gif, like this.

  7. But wait! We aren't done yet! Once you've successfully created the Gif, it will take you to a screen which shows the Gif you just created, and then, over on the right hand side, you will see a list of links that you can use for various formats (Share, Direct, Embed, Markdown, etc.) You want to select the Direct Link (Email and IM) and NOT the Share Link or Markdown Link (even though Share is first and Markdown says for Reddit). The Direct Link is the GifV one, which makes it so mobile users can see it and it loads faster.

  8. Once you copy the Direct Link, simply make a post here on DtG, and paste the link into it, like such: http://i.imgur.com/6DWmYt5.gifv.

  9. Profit?

Hope this helps you guys! If this doesn't work or you have any questions, just ask. Also, please note that sometimes while it is loading the gif that you created, the green bar will occasionally freeze. If this happens, just click the Back button, and re-create the Gif, or go to your Images Gallery on your Imgur account and it might already be there. Sometimes it's actually frozen, and sometimes it has finished and just not updated the bar.
