YouTube has added an animated GIF tool to some of its videos. Spotted
by Gizmodo, the tool appears under the Share menu, with users able to select a section of video and create a six-second GIF from the clip, complete with a caption at the top and bottom. So far, the tool has been discovered on some videos created by
PBS, but it may appear on other YouTube content in the future.
