@rorybro I know this must be a dumb question but how do I save the GIF once it's created? How would I embed the GIF in a twitter post?

I love products that are named for their functionality. Same reason I love that there's an animal called "Anteater". It says what it does. Boom.

I love this! So easy... And using youtube vids it's way easier to find original gifs, instead of reusing whatever other people are using. Remember Giffffr by the way?
