It takes a few steps, but these free programs seem to work well for making gifs from youtube videos.

Free version of YTD video downloader will let you grab youtube videos and convert to .wmv

Use Windows Live Movie Maker to slice up the video, and then "save movie" and I typically use the Zune HD (for device)setting which makes a nice size .wmv file

iWisoft free video converter does a good job of making .gif files from the .wmv file , you just have to play with the settings a bit.

There may be one tool to do all of this, but this is how I have been able to pull you tube clips, edit them, and make decent gifs with no logos, all with free software.

New tool I found called Virtualdub will take a Gif that doesn't have complete frames and save it as an avi file with complete frames. Then you can use Iwisoft to save back as a Gif and all frames are complete.

So apparently CS6 has a new feature to quickly select skin tones that I thought I'd share (Maybe everyone else knew this and I'm just slow, but I just found it).

Select -> Color Range... select drop down menu-> Skin tones.

Click "Detect Faces" and adjust "Fuzziness" accordingly.
