Go download a video editor...But then again, I dont know how to save videos from youtube...

Google "Save videos from youtube" or "edit videos on youtube" and go from there....Google is everyones friend.

RealPlayer has a function that lets you save all Flash/Shockwave movies as .avi files. Do that, then either screen cap it while paused or open it up in a video editor and export the frame you want.

Ok i found a youtube downloader and i got the video i want and i edited it with windows movie eiditor. What do i convert it to so i can use it as an avatar on the site? Do i use .avi like tick said?

No, open the avi and export the frame you want as a jpg/gif/png/etc, then edit it in Photoshop or similar program.

you could have just paused the video, taken a screenshot, opened ms-paint, paste , crop, newfile, paste, save as, .jpg

You'll need photoshop with imageradey to begin with.

Step 1: Edit the video down to the parts you want.
Step 2: Frame by frame you'll have copy over or import the parts you want into imageready animation window.

Finally once you have it at the duration you want save it as a gif. Jpg's won't work as animation.

Here's a step by step tutorial for you

Yea i don't have any of that adobe software. I don't have the cash nor the skill to do that. Does anybody here have the skill and patience to do what i want for my avatar? I personally know i wont be able to do it myself and get it right. Please let me know and ill look for a forum for this.
