Hello Sinna,
Congratulations on your book!
Firstly I would like to say that when I started out 4 years ago I could have really done with a book as I was juggling vanilla projects and also my research skills were poor.
I found everything I needed to from Larkin's posts...otherwise I would have been lost.
Let's face facts...some people are more tech savvy than others.
I can see your recent book launch has been challenged and whilst I believe in free speech, I think the language used was quite offensive. I quote the part where it says "That makes it far worse, in my opinion"
You explained that you were clearly not doing this for money gains? I understand people having issue with studio producers gaining money from easily found information, but that is not what you were doing. I see that you were providing a useful tool to new producers, and it was a personal project and learning experience for you.

I understand people having issue with studio producers gaining money from easily found information, but that is not what you were doing.
Challenge accepted. All of this took me roughly 12 minutes to compile (I timed it) :)
The book is about basic and general info that we all assume everyone knows. What is a clipstore? What is a clipsite?
Lol, funnily enough, the first thing I got when I Googled that is Sinna’s site, AdultIncome. Happy coincidence :) You would think that someone who wanted to start on clips4sale would already know what clips4sale is.
Why open a store on there? Why not make an own website and sell clips with paypal? What are the benefits?
Googled “Why not open your own clip store” and found this (http://www.makemoneyadultcontent.com/what-are-clipsites-clips4sale/), which not only answered the question, but also looks like a great resource in general. As for PayPal, quick Google search found a million results, here's just one (https://www.quora.com/Why-dont-most-porn-sites-use-PayPal-to-do-transactions).
What do the icons in the clips4sale admin area stand for? What do they do? How to navigate?
I highly doubt anyone would need that explained as they’re very simple, but it’s explained on Sinna’s site if you need that info.
Which boxes to check?
What boxes to check when you upload clips you mean? Clips4Sale have all the info about adding clips and what each box means here (https://admin.clips4sale.com/home/instructions).
What is a members site?
Quick Google search. (https://www.camgirlwiki.com/wiki/Clips4Sale)
What is streaming?
Quick Google search. (http://searchunifiedcommunications.techtarget.com/definition/streaming-video)
How to add a watermark? Why add a watermark?
Why? So when (not if) someone’s steals your video the people who watch it for free will see your name and be able to find you and spend money on you. How? Depends entirely on your software. Just search how to make a watermark in whichever software you’re using on Youtube or Google, you'll get thousands of results.
What is encoding? What is bitrate?
Quick Google search for encoding (https://techterms.com/definition/encoding). Quick Google search for bitrate (https://techterms.com/definition/bitrate). Techterms looks like a great resource in general!
What are the rules on c4s?
List on clips4sale (https://admin.clips4sale.com/home/instructions)
What is the difference between an individual and a business account that you have to choose during signup?
Quick Google search. (https://www.camgirlwiki.com/wiki/Clips4Sale)
What is https?
Quick Google search (https://techterms.com/definition/https)
What is traffic? Where does it come from?
Quick Google search (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_traffic)
What is a bounce rate?
Quick Google search (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounce_rate)
How do the toplists work?
Admittedly, I couldn’t find anything when I searched that. I would think it’s self-explanatory though (the list is a rank of which clips and clipstores sell the best), and clips4sale are actually pretty guarded about it, so I’m not sure how much information is actually out there.
How does c4s search work and what does that mean for my studio?
Far too broad of a question to Google. Someone searches for a word or phrase on clips4sale. If you have a video which includes those words or phrases, it will come up. Self-explanatory or?
How to choose a category?
Quick Google search (https://letsopenclipstore.wordpress.com/2014/07/11/choosing-a-category-fetish-for-your-clips4sale-studio/)
How to put a picture in top html?
Explained on clips4sale (https://admin.clips4sale.com/home/instructions)
What is clip order numbering?
Info on clips4sale here (https://admin.clips4sale.com/home/instructions)
How many characters can a clipstore name have?
35 characters. Info on clips4sale here (https://admin.clips4sale.com/home/instructions)
What is an anchor? Where are anchors in clips4sale?
Quick Google search (http://www.boostsuite.com/2012/05/10/what-is-an-anchor-link/). Clips4Sale does not allow you to customise anchor links, so I’m not sure why someone would be asking about C4S anchors.
Where and how to upload pictures and clips when the site's uploader is not working?
As explained on the clips4sale admin homepage, FTP. The details for FTP are all there. Tutorials (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3DudpEMPiY) all over YouTube.
Which sites let me experiment with colors for my store?
Clips4Sale explain how to do this (https://admin.clips4sale.com/home/instructions)
Do I need storage?
Yes. You’re going to be storing your clips right? Unless you want to lose them...
What is the difference between SD, SDHC and SDXC cards?
Quick Google search (http://theydiffer.com/difference-between-micro-sd-micro-sdhc-and-micro-sdxc-memory-cards/)
Where can I get free software for encoding, gifs and watermark?
Googled free video editing software, free GIF making software, and free watermarking software and got over 10 million results each.
Which formats to choose?
Clips4Sale explain on their instructions page (https://admin.clips4sale.com/home/instructions) that WMV and MP4 are the most popular. If you’re talking about other clip sites than C4S, I have accounts on ManyVids, IwantClips and Kinkbomb and they all recommend MP4.
P.s. I found the answers to 100 more questions while searching for the answers to these few.

If you honestly think my post included "quite offensive" language, and found the phrase "that's far worse in my opinion" quite offensive, then I'm not really sure what to say? Offensive language is personally attacking someone, swearing/cursing, using racist/sexist/homophobic language. Not "that's far worse, in my opinion". That's civil, polite language.
Yeah, I think I just escalated.
I think if anyone was angry or defensive, it was Sinna. I was very calm and civil and didn't even mention her personally until my second post. She herself admitted that she was the one who escalated the situation, as shown in the quote above.
I'm genuinely incredibly surprised that anyone could have found my post offensive, but if you did, please report it to a mod so they can deal with the situation as offensive language is not allowed on StripperWeb.

I understand where you're coming from Luna, and I have also been concerned by what I felt was over helpfulness in the past, but I think this is something that Sinna simply enjoys doing, and some people like to find the information they need in one place. Sinna has already written the ebook and she isn't going to take it down from sale. There's a danger of beating a dead horse here, can we let that poor animal be buried now?

I 100% agree with you Katy. My last post in this thread was ending the conversation with Sinna, congratulating her on her success and wishing her luck with her book. You'll see that she even "thanked" that post, so I assumed it was over and everything was cool.
Unfortunately, someone else made a post accusing me of being offensive, and I don't feel comfortable with being falsely accused of something like that and not responding to defend myself. I hope you can understand and perhaps agree that if someone falsely accused you of being rude/offensive, that you would feel as though you had the right to defend yourself.

Yes I do understand. I personally have a real thing about being misunderstood!
Just realised I should have said "flogging" and not "beating"...and me providing a service to fetishists, ugh the shame!

Re: Toplists. It's actually been talked about here before. The top clips are ranked on how many times that clip has sold in the last 7 days. Top stores are ranked on how much money you've made in the last 7 days. The main page is overall total income and the category pages are for how much money you've made in that category (over the last 7 days).
(It takes *around* $1400, in the past 7 days, to make the Top 50 on the main page.)

Half way through the month and I've made $145? Bullfuckingshit. I am doing fine everywhere else but C4S this month. I've had 4 days so far this month with no sales and 5 days with either 1 or 2 clips sold. I don't know or understand what's happening with my c4s lately, but it's definitely not my money maker anymore. I can update daily and I can update every two days, doesn't seem to make any change. I've over it.

02-12-2017, 12:14 AM
oh, no!!! I'm so sorry ... Hopefully you don't mind waiting 30 days before you post those ... :(
In case anyone was wondering: no, you cannot have a watermark to your website on your video or gif/preview for the first 30 days.
I was going to re edit those videos but said fuck it, and I'm going to just shoot 10 more clips. I really enjoy clip making. And once I saw how nice my clip store was going to look, I got kinda inspired.

Maybe we should start a manyvids thread, or is there one already? I have a sinking feeling manyvids is eclipsing c4s, or at least joining the ranks of c4s ... ?!? I don't know. Anyone know and compare their own sales/traffic with those two sites?
I feel like Sinna or Larkin has touched upon this topic before, but I can't remember ...
I very much respect what Neil has done to establish c4s, but I'm being enticed to sell my clips on manyvids. They suggested a possible appearance in Manyvids' new magazine. I don't care for manyvids magazine, but it seems like their site is just as worthy as c4s, as far as generating revenue from clips and marketing.
Kinda seems stupid not to post to both websites. But I feel like I have a very hard core set of fans who have followed me to c4s, and I can't generate much revenue in two places at once ... ? Idk, maybe I'm just being lazy because I don't want to have to post in two places :P

Here is the ManyVids thread (https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?188740-Manyvids-com)
Not as active as this thread :(
I have to say that for me this month is being "bad" in both sites...
Indeed 0 sales this month at MV (I've asked support if there is any tech problem or it's my problem), because I've been selling there some videos last months.
C4S seems slow this month, I've had too many days with 0 sales (in general not so bad, still soon to know how the month will end...)

In 2015 i have earned (clear earnings) $1200 during last 10 days. If we talk about total sum - it was $2000 from customers.
i was only number 48 in top50. 30 hours later i was removed from top50, because my store was not attractive (no descriptions, no banners, no good GIFs).
i dont trust top50
everyone can be in top50, if it is axiom "*around* $1400, in the past 7 days, to make the Top 50 on the main page"
we can buy our clips and make incoming, i assume that 40% of stores from top50 doing this negative promotion.

Googled “Why not open your own clip store” and found this (http://www.makemoneyadultcontent.com/what-are-clipsites-clips4sale/), which not only answered the question, but also looks like a great resource in general.
Warning: It's not a great resource! When I talked about the site I had DMCA trouble with, it was that site. No article on that site is original. The person running that site is copying from all sites across the web. He/she copied all my articles, re-wrote the sentences and added huge amounts of keywords to rank in google.
It's the very site I didn't mention so no one would go there, because the information on there is not only all stolen, it's been re-written to evade the copyright (which of course does not work like that), leading to false information and generalizations all over.
That very post you quoted is a re-writing of a re-writing of a post from my website. I wrote to the site, he/she took down some of my articles, but not all of them. I wrote again, no reply. My articles re-appeared, even more de-faced (to evade copyright).
The screenshots in the articles were the same. All of it was / is copied and the text re-written. My store number was even on the c4s backend screenshots.
Here is the proof I took for DMCA with google / godaddy. Because if a person just ignores DMCA requests, there is only one more option to get the site down.
My store number is 47160 but readers of my website will recognize that ALL of the text is just copied and partly re-written from my site.
47398
47399
As I said, MY content has since been taken down / rewritten and scrambled so much again that I can't DMCA it anymore.
All other content can be found 1 to 1 with google searches from all kinds of sites across the web and also from forums (if you can find them, because this guy is getting "better" at scrambling and defacing texts with every DMCA takedown that hits his/her site)
Larkin loves post has been re-written and posted as own information there as well. Which would be larkins / this forums issue to get it taken down.
The owner of this site has no idea what they are talking about. It is all stolen and de-faced to evade copyrights.
It must be huge amounts of work to re-write and keyword plaster all these texts, I admit that this person is working very hard, but in the wrong direction.
The only purpose of the site is to find nicely ranking articles, copy them, add keywords, rewrite them to evade copyright (which, again, is not legal and does not count) and then rank higher in google than the original.
The visitors of this site have gone way up, the comments are full of praise and thanks, also on my articles (thanks viewers, but you are thanking the wrong person).
These issues with that guy/girl have gotten me to pause on adult-income, because one can become really helpless when a person steals content and uses it to attract all the visitors that you were actually "targeting" (meaning my content is meant to be useful to a certain group of people).
So, that guy/girl is another abuser, luring innocent people in and then providing so-called help. That person has probably never seen a clipstore from the inside, but now has 30 mails a day from girls asking for help. The replies are general answers with no real value.
This shows quite nicely that it's good to have trusted information in one place, because a quick google search might get you to misinformation. I research thoroughly before I put up links or information and my personal opinion is obviously kinda "tested" and proven.
The site is all about making money, affiliate money and "books". I am pretty sure that some of these books contain my DMCA'd content and he/she did not remove them, just evaded google.
The site was recently down because godaddy took it down. It was also unlisted from google for open DMCA claims. I guess some other people also found their content there and were not happy. The site is back up now, which, in my opinion, is a total joke, but I can't do any more than I did.
Luna, this was also a reason for me to release the book instead of updating my articles on the site. Since the articles are free, I put the book at the lowest price (and activated free lending) and added extra value by writing lots of pages especially for the book. Your google challenge could have taken less than 12 minutes, because all the information is, as I already said, available on adult-income.com. It is just not up to date and in one place. You said that I promote not spending money before starting the store - that is right. The book is not needed. All crucial info is available for free on adult-income.
The book is just an up-to-date, all-in-one-place, easier-to-read (as cohesive) and most important COPYRIGHTED, "hidden" from just copy+pasting, version of articles (+ book exclusive content that is nice to have) that are freely available on my website. It also is an eBook, obviously, which is what many people wished to have additionally to my website, for offline reading and having it all in one place.
Writing a book was on my bucket list as well, I think many people have that wish, so it was a great opportunity and I must say, it feels awesome! When I sold a copy I was jumping and dancing around the house. So that is cool as well.
I can understand that you don't like it. Of course it could mean more studios on c4s, more competition. My conviction is that c4s would die without fresh studios and that newcomers rejuvenate c4s, making it more attractive for more customers, benefiting all of us. It's a personal opinion and I can understand the opposite just as much. No one has to like what I do, but it's with good intentions from my end.
There was one more reason the book is useful: As pointed out in another thread about making a website, where I said there were tons of youtube tutorials available, the person said something like "yes, but I want you to make a tutorial, because I trust you" and I think that's a very good reason that shows, even if all my books' content were to be found with google searches, it would still not be the same. And after the above example, where you found a website useful and looking like a good resource, that actually was written by someone with no clue, I agree that it's important to get information from a trusted source, no matter where that information might also be available.
Edit: and by the way, if you don't know the question, you can't search for an answer. I am sure that my book contains lots of "oh, I didn't even think about that"-moments for clipstore newcomers. The questions you answered, which I just posted off the top of my head, cover only a small part of the book. Finding all of it would take you much longer than $1.99 of your time is worth in money.
Edit2:
To give you an impression of how much information is getting lost, aside from the fact that you should never support a serial copyright violator, here is his copy of my cliplength article.
http://www.makemoneyadultcontent.com/cliplength-guide-clips4sale-clipstore/ (beware his site throws a thousand popups at you)
here is the original:
http://adult-income.com/clips4sale-clip-length-guide/
NOTE: my guide will be removed soon, because it is not applicable anymore. As you know, c4s has massively changed their requirements for clips.
I only have it left on my site because if he DMCAs ME now, I need to prove that I was there "first". It's so stupid, but that person is a real pain. It would require someone with your passion and energy, Luna, to get this guy down.
p.s.: I have obtained written permission from the c4s owner to use the screenshots in my book before I wrote it

Vanilla videos sell on manyvids, but fetish ones don't really sell. You'd have to bring your own traffic or you're lucky to get a sale a month... Read the many vids thread, I posted my opinion over there a few times.

Hi, back here for Sunday socializing! Been super busy and just barely managed to update daily. I think my studio does pretty well for a month old studio. I will reach payout this month :) I am nowhere near daily sales though.
Just wanted to comment also, hopefully without escalating anything ;) :
I would never have started my clipstore if it wasn't for this thread AND Sinnas site. I am a skilled researcher (part of my job) and dismiss not trustworthy sources immediately to save time and not mess up what I already learned. I started out researching about camming, and had no idea about C4S and how you could SELL fetish clips in this way, this easy. I have friends that put them up for free. If I would had just found C4S on my own I wouldn't had tried, I don't have that time.
I ran into C4S because of Larkin's posts, and was disappointed she never made that book. I didn't look for "get rich fast" type of info - would be nice to get rich, but I know it doesn't work like that, and I already have a career. My goal is to reduce that work a bit to do something fun from home. I want to make ENOUGH money to free time for it, but it's most importantly an ego and creative thing. I have several fetishes myself and love to explore human sexuality. I really hope people like me find Sinna's book and site now.
I actually didn't find some of the most important info anywhere, because you have to sign up and get approved first before you get access to the little new studio info there is on C4S. And that is AFTER you made your first 10 clips to get approved. Thanks to Sinna, I knew I should watermark them - it's not obvious to someone who never made and sold a fetish clip before. That's just one example. This thread took a long time to go through and contains a LOT of valuable info, but on Sinnas site the info is condensed and also explained in detail. This thread could easily be dismissed by someone looking for the basics, because it's hard to know all those tips are actually there. I read it still, because I also wanted to get a feel of how it is working with clips. Far from everyone start out as camgirls, for me this was a sudden idea that turned out better than I thought! I totally agree that more new studios means a better, evolving site. I've been in the fetish community irl for most of my life and I have never (NEVER!) heard of C4S until I found it myself just now. For several of my own fetishes C4S has not much to choose from at all, and my fetishes are hardly THAT unusual. There is definitely room for a lot more studios - and customers.

These past two weeks I have posted in 3 new categories - and every time I had to e-mail support to get on the new studio list of that category. There were older studios than mine on the list. So make sure you check if you post in a new category!
Not happy with the new uploader's thing with telling me the gif is already uploaded when posting a second format, but not showing the particular gif in the list. So I have to rename the gif and upload again, thus having a unique gif for every clip, where before I could choose the same gif for the same clip in different formats.
Also, is it a new thing for support to not answer at all? Before you got a "ticket opened" mail but now I am getting nothing and no reply. The issues get fixed but would be nice to know when they look into it so I don't have to keep it in mind and keep checking if it's fixed.
I also have a preview problem, not sure if I am missing something or if it's a temporary thing. I choose the preview maker for the clip and go through the process choosing a starting point, create a preview. I click "save to store" but nothing happens to that clip in the studio. I do it again, the preview is still in the preview maker, but how do I get it to appear in my studio together with the gif? Also, the first seconds are missing audio (at least in the preview maker) and it seems I have to do the same preview again for the second format?

Also, the first seconds are missing audio (at least in the preview maker) and it seems I have to do the same preview again for the second format?
The uploader saying it's already on the server is a little strange, but you can avoid it when you do it like this: Fill in the clip info, upload the preview gif and then right click the tab -> duplicate. In the duplicate, change the file to your other version, change the title and copy over the description. The gif will already be filled in and work. The keywords and categories will also be filled in.
I sometimes don't get ticket opened emails, but most times I do. Support has responded a little slower, I think they have a little more work at the moment than usual.
The preview should be in the same window where the gif is. Below the gif is a small link "click for preview". If you click that, the gif will swap for the preview video. I have been getting a grey screen instead of my preview picture. I was told that it's a grey rollover and that I should make a new rollover from the clip list. I never touched the rollover, but doing that resolved the problem.

Sorry but Manyvids will not be eclipsing c4s because they cater to only vanilla or light fetishes only. Frankly, it is only fantastic if you are a top MFC model, super mainstream, cater to light fetishes, or have tons of fans. If you run animation or machinima studio, than C4s, kinkbomb, and Niteflirt customers pay top dollar. Manyvids' audience only loves super vanilla or light fetishes only. My studio was in the top spot several times but it still made me only 300 that year. So, Manyvids and C4S are totally different animals and markets. :)
Maybe we should start a manyvids thread, or is there one already? I have a sinking feeling manyvids is eclipsing c4s, or at least joining the ranks of c4s ... ?!? I don't know. Anyone know and compare their own sales/traffic with those two sites?

I don't know about ManyVids, as I'm not on that site, but just from a glance it looks more Vanilla than Fetish. Iwantclips seems to be more Findom/Bratty/Princess related and I've noticed a lot of the women who are on that site (most are on C4S) seem to exclusively promote their clips on that site, not C4S, on their social media. And I realize they get a higher payout there, so that's why, but I wonder if that site has had any effect on C4S. From what I've read in this forum, it seemed more like you had to bring your customers with you to that site and it wasn't great for sales otherwise.
I wonder why C4S has decided to make all these changes NOW. Was it just time? Or is/was it something else? Do they feel a bit of competition from other sites? (Just wondering out loud....)

Do you think there would be more success with separate clips stores?
It seems my pregnancy fetish clips are kind of dominating anything else I do, or I'm worrying that with proof of being pregnant/having babies I cannot branch out into other fetishes.
Do you think I should open a second store or stay with the same one that has all my traffic?

Mamabutt,
I would open a second store that caters to your pregnancy more. I have success with my separate clip stores :)

I can't chip in on putting pregnancy clips in a second store, but I am in my second pregnancy while making clips now and both have had a negative effect on sales in the "same" store. So I would say go for DonaDiabla's advice. Just know if you connect the stores, visitors will be able to see that you run both stores. If you don't connect them, they stay separate, but in case of a payout fee, you have to pay the fee two times. Only connected stores will get paid out in one payment.

From c4s rules: 1 owner = 1 clip store
why do You break rules?

Wrong! You can have multiple stores on clips4sale and kinkbomb. Clips4sale will approve different stores under one person. As does Kinkbomb and Iwantclips as well. So, where are you getting your alleged information from where having multiple clip stores are against the rules? :)

If you honestly think my post included "quite offensive" language, and found the phrase "that's far worse in my opinion" quite offensive, then I'm not really sure what to say? Offensive language is personally attacking someone, swearing/cursing, using racist/sexist/homophobic language. Not "that's far worse, in my opinion". That's civil, polite language.
I think if anyone was angry or defensive, it was Sinna. I was very calm and civil and didn't even mention her personally until my second post. She herself admitted that she was the one who escalated the situation, as shown in the quote above.
I'm genuinely incredibly surprised that anyone could have found my post offensive, but if you did, please report it to a mod so they can deal with the situation as offensive language is not allowed on StripperWeb.
I expressed my opinion Luna as did you. I personally found your post had an offensive tone. This was because I felt Sinna answered your questions but still was attacked. The points you originally raised were actually very valid and interesting but not relevant to Sinna's book. The definition of offensive is very subjective, and you have chosen to interpret its meaning to the extreme. Of course Sinna was a bit defensive, I think anyone would have been. You stated that you expected there would be a back lash to your post, so I felt I was able to express my opinion.
C4S has server problems and customers aren't able to buy our clips. Also one of my clips has disappeared from my store. Don't waste your traffic and add new clips atm and wait until they fix everything. Support told me that it'll take a few hours.

I even went through customer service to make sure my two stores had one pay out and were visible to each other. They helped me do this. Definitely allowed more than one store.

Just sold a clip in each store, so I think it's working again!
Yep I can confirm it's working again. Just sold a clip a few mins ago.

Hya guys, I just messaged support and they came back with this reply...
It's better for your store, if you wait until the issue is fixed, or clip will be unreachable for the customers when they appear in the recently updated studio's list.

Right? I need to stop leaving updates to 11pm when I'm tired. But at least I'm back to posting regularly again which is important!
It works now. New updates are showing up in all stores

Strange, I just noticed that my update from yesterday in the second store doesn't show. And I already wondered.. Need to write to support for a manual refresh I guess.

The preview should be in the same window where the gif is. Below the gif is a small link "click for preview". If you click that, the gif will swap for the preview video.
That's what I mean, there is no such link showing up in the store after making and saving a preview. I tried several clips this past week now. But from your post I take it I am not missing any step, it's an error so have to contact support.
...Which I have been doing a LOT lately.
What you others said today that clips were non existing in store - that happened to me a week ago and I didn't notice until after a day, so I might have had lots of potential customers clicking only to come to my store without that clip, plus it was of course not updated once it turned up to my store, but already far down the list in that category :/ So make sure you check everything when updating because the site is superbuggy atm.

Okay sorry, I may sound silly, but did you enable previews? I have disabled them and thus there is no link...
About the clip not displaying: Try sorting -> Date: New. Does it display now?
Worked for me.. but is still stupid, because the default sorting is ascending.

And that said, I went to check my clips from yesterday cause I realized I forgot, and the newest from today, posted just 30 mins ago- no they are not showing. Dammit! So for 27 hours now, there has been links leading from the 2 categories to a clip that is not possible to buy in the store because they aren't there. That damage cannot be undone and those updates are pretty much wasted in terms of exposure.
Not sure what you mean by changing the sorting Sinna - I want the sorting I have chosen. The clips are not anywhere in my store (as in, the wrong order). the links in those categories lead to my page but not to the clips.

Ah, got it. Yes, they show when sorted by date, but I doubt many customers will change the default sorting if the clip they expect to see doesn't show. I looked at my store as if I was a customer and just entering the store, via a category, the clips don't show. Emailed support but still not fixed. Now my front page exposure time is gone for the third time in a row :( I am freezing updates until it's fixed.

Sorry if this is the wrong place for posting, I got bored of uploading gifs made out of different pictures so instead I am trying to make a gif out of different sections of my clip. The problem is, the size is coming out too big for 50 MB c4s allows. How can I can compress a gif made out of a video. I have tried making it super short abd so on, which does reduce the size but I have seen studios with beautiful gifs made out from the video (not a sequence of pictures) and they are long so I dnt think making it super short is the answer I am looking for. Thanks
