Welcome! The posting rules here are fairly strict, but I hope you understand. The goal here is to curate high effort GIFs from the Fediverse. That being said, here are the rules:

Posts much be at least 25 fps.
Lewd content is not allowed. Go to redgifs for that.
The GIF must be clear, with no artifacts.
Watermarks can not be displayed in the GIF, but providing a link toward more of your OC is fine.
No audio.
Black bars around the GIF are allowed only if they are involved in some kind of transition.
Potaton’t: This one is kind of subjective, but remember the goal is to post high quality here.
These are GIFs, not memes. Try to avoid meme-style “impact bold” topt text and bottom text. The content should be clearly visible at all times.
Hosting is something you’ll have to figure out for yourself. WEBM is allowed since you’d be cutting down file size by a lot. https://catbox.moe/ works decently well for files under 200mb.

Now that the rules are out of the way, some free tools that you can use to make your own HQ GIFs:

OpenShot: Great for complete newbs. Easy editing and good export options. https://www.openshot.org/
KDEnlive: More advanced editor that can be used for more professional work, steeper learning curve, but still approachable https://www.kdenlive.org/
Olive Video Editor: My personal recommendation. Solid middle ground tool. Non-linear nature may take getting used to for a beginner.
Davinci Resolve: Actual professional level application. The learning curve is very high, but not insurmountable. https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/
