/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

On a separate note .... that is an amazing GIF ... how did you do it?

I'm only asking because its so freakin hard to format, upload and make a GIF available on Lemmy ... and yes I know GIF is an outdated format but WEBM and MP4 and every modern format is not universally being made available anywhere or easy to use. GIF is an old standard and as old and inefficient as it is, when it works, it works beautifully.

Great work ... I'm amazed.

Thanks! I store all of my Star Trek shows on a media server and then use Plex to play them. When I find something I want to make into a gif I use ScreenToGif to capture the screen. It allows you to edit frames, add text, combine videos, etc. It’s not tough to do.

Holy carp. I stand totally corrected, I was looking at it on my phone and figured it had to be an mp4 you uploaded to Imgur. I'm looking at this sucker up close now on my laptop, and of course as you know, it's an 8 bit Compuserve GIF. Video codecs don't use LZW compression lol. Yeah, it's a real nice-lookin GIF. Nice work!

Thanks for posting this, ScreenToGif looks pretty awesome. It's free and open source, which is a nice bonus. Now, if I could just find something like this for Linux...
