Step 3:
Find the part of the clip you want your gif to start.
Use the trim option under timline (the small scissors symbole)
delete the part before you want your gif to start by choosing the layer you want to delete under layres.
Do the same step for where you want your gif to end.
keep trimming your clip until you happy with the result.

Step 4 :
Select the image panel from the photoshop menu .
