I'm actually not sure how other people do it. I think there is a normal, routine way to go about it, and I think I go about it an ass-backwards way.
Adobe image-ready is the thing I use for editing animated GIFs for the most part, but is sorely lacking in actually importing source material and then converting it to GIF form to begin with.
What I do is import the source material (preferably a quicktime movie) into adobe after effects and edit it there, and then render the frames out into a GIF file. Then I can fine-tune it in image ready if I want to.
I'm sure there is an easier way to do it, though.
There is actually a perfect loop from the Charlie and the Chocolate factory trailer that I wanted to make just for you and send to you, because I know you will love it, permission to send? (If I can get it looking right)
