Silky, after the QT step above, here's my suggestion of your next step ...

1) Open photoshop, as you copy each frame grab paste them all into the same document - each screen grab as a new layer.

2) When you have all of them go to 'image size' to make it the size you want

3) Then go to the file menu & select 'edit in imageready' or 'switch to imageready' depending on what PS version you have

4) Make sure the 'animation' menu window is open in imageready. If not, go to window menu, & open it

5) Make sure the first frame is the first layer & in the animation window select 0.1 second from the little menu in bottom right corner of the frame.

6) Then press the 'duplicate current frame' button along bottom of animation window so you make a second frame the same. With this frame selected, hide the first layer in your layers menu to reveal the next cap. Repeat as many times as needed.

7) Then go file --> save optimized as & there's your gif!

If you want some more info about color settings & compression lmk before you save it. ;-)

Oh & also the program linked above by cooluks, gif construction set, is really really good - its a step by step program where you just select your files. It's got some limitations photoshop & imageready don't have but I recommend it as an easy option.

Good luck!
