## How to create a GIF in Trainn?

**Solution **

GIF is a compressed, looped animation created from a short video. Trainn allows you to create GIFs that are perfect for sharing quick demonstrations in emails, presentations, chat applications, or platforms where video embedding might be challenging.

> **Tip:** Limit your recording to 2-3 interactions maximum for optimal GIF performance

1. After clips are generated, delete the unnecessary clips from the editor page 

### **Optimize for GIF Creation**

1. Remove the **Narrations** from all the clips.
2. Modify **Zoom** transitions to 0.5s
3. Apply** Spotlights** to highlight the interactions 
4. Click **Preview and Publish** to review the clips 
5. Click **Publish video**

### **Export as GIF **

1. In the video published page, click **Share and Export options**
2. Navigate to the **Export tab**
3. Click Export next to the** Export as GIF**

> **Note: **The **Export as GIF** option becomes available in the Export tab a few minutes after the video is published.
