How to create a GIF

GIFs are ideal for storytelling. They're better than a static meme without the overhead of a video clip. GIFS play automatically without any action by the viewer. How did I create this GIFs?

I first did a screen capture from social media using the free LICEcap application.
Next I edited the GIF that had been recorded and added text overlay comments with the free ezGIF app.
