Tell me more ×  I found this nice tutorial that explains how to
convert a movie file to a .gif in Photoshop. Is there an
analogous process in Illustrator?  share|improve this question
Mp4 and gif are both raster format. Why would you want to go via
Illustrator, which is mostly a vector editor? –  naught101 Aug 6

art without first going through Photoshop. –  BBz Aug 7 '12 at

The absence of a feature is difficult to confirm because there's
often no documentation explicitly explaining its absence. Scott
answered my question perfectly. –  BBz Aug 7 '12 at 17:20 I've
not seen any direct tutorials. The secret to blends and non-
standard shapes is small steps. It's better to blend between 4
objects than it is 2. If you're drawing frames, it may save a
step or two, but it most likely won't be the be-all-end-all
solution. –  Scott Aug 8 '12 at 19:56 @BBz: search the web for
"vector rotoscoping"
