Once the clip begins to play, wait until you find the exact moment you want to make into a GIF. Or, choose any random moment and see what happens. When you know what you want to record, click the "Start Capture" button:

Click "Stop Capture" when you're finished. (It can record video up to nine seconds). Once you click "Stop Capture", your new GIF will appear at the righthand corner of your screen. Close out of GifGrabber and YouTube, then open your new gif by clicking on it :
