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).

> YES. IDEA #1 IS GREAT. Will be done! Thanks! On that note, you'll want to handle fractional seconds for the annotations, or possibly frame numbers. > I'll PM you about the tech ^_^ I look forward to it. > As per the edit - yeah a ton of traffic BUT generally right now 98% of GIFs are making.
