This is really cool. And I hate to be that guy, especially so early. But wouldn't it be easier on both networking and cpu to convert it to a webm?
webm doesn't work on Safari or IE http://caniuse.com/webm
As an amateur sportswriter, I expect to be using this a LOT during the upcoming season -- provided there aren't any legal issues with the youtube name, copyright on clips, etc. Took like 15 seconds to make http://share.gifyoutube.com/lcD.gif (a game-winning shot from a couple seasons back).

I'm sorry :(. That was totally me. I made sadsquidward.com and riddlydiddly.com a little while ago and just was obsessed with GIFs ahaha. Will definitely change in the next update. I was thinking maybe a very small change just for the lols- like a cloud just drifting by
Regarding the latter: please provide alternate content (at least a notice) for your tags, for people who don't have flash. If nothing else, you might provide a version, if the content is not interactive. (Then again, if the content is not interactive, you might as well only have a version.)

Thanks for the feedback! I definitely agree and something we were trying to work on. One thing that's difficult is choosing the finishing time on the video. For example if it's 5 seconds or something, the two end points are really close. What do you think about beta.gifyoutube.com? It's a little different mechanics for choosing start time (which I'm not the best fan of), but maybe it's a little easier for end time. I…
I like this interface over the current one. The only issue I had with it is not having millisecond steps to create a decent loop. I also wasn't getting a thumbnail preview in the black box when seeking the video. Nice useful tool.

Clicky: http://beta.gifyoutube.com I couldn't test it because the video didn't load. I saw the beta UI once (two slice bars), but when I reloaded, the video didn't appear. (I tested IE11 and Chrome) Another small UI complain. If I type in the text box the YouTube address and I hit the enter key, it doesn't get to the edit page. I have to reach for my mouse, and click in the green "Create Gif" button.

Plan was to get a different domain (suggestions?) and fwd it but still have the GYT functionality I'm not 100% sure if youtube minds. Someone from youtube actually put it on one of their videos (a button for it), and then said youtube community department were having fun and spreading it around We don't use a 3rd party queueing software ^_^.
I'd suggest talking to a lawyer. My (unsolicited) layman's take: Someone from youtube != Google's legal department, which makes this situation both awesome and sad. If Google wishes to maintain their ownership of the youtube trademark, legally they must enforce their ownership of it (which means either granting you a license, or sending you a C&D). That said, I'd search around for trademark licensing info - they may…

>>suggestions? Maybe giftube.com or yougif.com? I'd register those but keep what you currently have for now. Being able to say "put the word gif in front of any youtube url" is just great for user experience.
I love it. You should probably get another domain though for the imminent C&D
Do you scrape the whole video, or just the part requested? And is the conversion to gif a library or something you wrote?
I'm totally ignorant when it comes to scraping videos and converting them, but I find it interesting.
