    How to create and post your own RC GIFs on HobbySquawk!

    Hello content creators! Sometimes sharing a picture just doesn't do your model justice but posting a video seems like overkill. I find that a happy middle ground can be found in making your own GIFs. I have laid out the two paths for creating easy GIFs for sharing.

    Without Access to Adobe software (Steps 1,2,4,5)

    1. Upload your own clip to youtube OR find the youtube video source (other video hosting sites may work)
    2. Use Giphy.com and paste the link into their CREATE generator, choose which part of the clip you want to use and for how long.
