Nova Scotia has been locked down. Even backroads in have been barricaded a la North Korea.

Over 8 ICU cases by the way. :roll:

So made gif of wifey visiting her family there.
Are you Canadian too, TQ??

Knocking my rubber chicken or my sloppy habits is within the rules, but you're attacking my character. I would like to think you don't mean that.

Lol. Funny how there are so many Canucks around here these days. (Even Pahonu’s half Canadian!). Must be the long winters that keep us longing for palm trees and adventure.

OK. I attempted this and my result is less than satisfactory. What is the easiest free way to make an animated .gif?

This is from A.I.P.I. (season 7). It is when Tracy Spencer knocks on Magnum's hotel door, Magnum opens it to find Spencer who yells, "Magnum!" and Magnum promptly shuts the door.

Looks okay to me.

I just downloaded an old video trimming program (because I'm used to it) called Windows Essentials "Movie Maker".

Trim the vid that way.

Upload it to https://giphy.com/create/gifmaker and it generates the gif.

The you post as image (and giphy hosts it).

Sorry, but I don’t think it works. It’s not “physical” enough so it just seems like someone comes to the door and tells him something and he goes back to what he’s doing. I think the audio is what makes the scene so good. Hate to be a Debbie Downer. ;-)

Sorry Styles but your opinion is no longer valid here.

Well played. I don't think anyone will be able to take away my OG Magnum cred, however. ;-)

My intention was to have it say, "Magnum!" in print at the bottom when the door is open, but I could not figure out how to do that. I could only have text throughout the entire .gif, not at a specific spot.

I'm just now wrapping up my first full viewing of the series and I thought I'd share some of the GIFs I've been making along the way. Most of these come from a 1080p Blu-Ray source and are pretty big as a result.
