RE: Is there any way to slow down that video? It goes too fast to see how they are cut!

Burrito-sandwich

The folded burrito sandwich recipe looks like fun. I found a way online to slow down the video (a 'gif' image) without downloading an app.

I am using a MacBook, and these instructions are written as if you were doing all of it for the first time.

Go here... (a shortcut to the "Effects" tab, and then "Adjust GIF speed" tab at ezgifs.com)

https://ezgif.com/speed

It says "GIF animation speed changer -- Select image" The second option is "Or paste image URL", so paste sweetiepiezer's URL link there, that's the 'too fast' GIF file (see just below)...

https://cdn.acidcow.com/uploads/posts/2023-05/1684167907_6.gif

On the subsequent page you'll see the fast GIF again. Just under it, I entered 7 for "% of current speed", and clicked the blue "Change speed!" button.

Then you have to scroll down to see the resulting "Output image:" i.e. the slowed down GIF image.

In the bottom right corner under the "Output image" click on the "save" icon...in the subsequent popup window, change the file name (the part to the left of the dot) to something you'll remember ("Burrito sandwich" is what I named it -- to the right of the dot it will still be "gif" for the file type) and click on the "Save" button to save to your computer, usually it would be in the "Downloads" folder .

To post it here, the gif needs to be uploaded to an image hosting site first. This one works for me (good for uploading photos too)...

https://imgbb.com/

Go there and click "Upload" in the top bar, then click on the blue text you will see at the bottom, "browse from your computer". Then in the popup window you can find and select the slowed down gif file you had just renamed and saved in your Downloads folder. After selecting it, the gif image will then appear on the right side of this window, and you click on the "Open" button in the bottom right corner.

On the next page titled "Edit or resize any image by clicking the image preview", choose "Don't autodelete" (so it will always remain available to this chat). Click the "Upload" button at the bottom.

The you'll see the "Upload complete" page. Look for "Embed codes", click on the down arrow at the right end of the box to make selection, choose "HTML full linked". Copy that link and paste it into the FR reply box (and since it is HTML you would need to use HTML code for any paragraph spacing, and would also need to use HTML code for any other URL links you may want to post there).

[Note: I am presuming that there is no malware, virus, et cetera hidden within the gif file. I did a scan of my laptop just now and it did not find any]

Best thoughts,
Deks
