What program do you use to put the faces on movie clips and turn them into gifs?

I use Photoshop CS3 - but it can only handle very short video clips.

hmmm i've had cs3 all this time and never knew i could do this. I also have CS5 and I am installing Illustrator and Dreamweaver CS5 right now. (benefits of working at a photography studio)

There's a trick to loading videos into CS3. Do File->Import->Video Frames to Layers.
Once the box opens, you have to type in the space for File name this: *.* Then hit Load.
You can then find your video.

what file types work best? WMV? MP4?

The only ones I've directly loaded into CS3 are the .avi files from my Canon S1 IS.
I have converted some other types of video files into gifs, then loaded the gifs into CS3 to work on them. (You have to use the *.* trick to load all the gif frames into CS3).
I use video to gif.

I use GIMP, so with PS you may not have this issue, but when I try and upload a large video file it takes a long time to load. Then if have to find the frames I want to use and delete the rest. I have found it easier if I go to gifsoup.com and load the file (usually one I grab off of youtube). I can pick the frame sequence I like, gut the rest then save a much smaller file. Load into GIMP much quicker then all I have to do start adding heads everywhere. Only issue I have had is gifsoup does not always work. The site seems to have issues 40% of time, but you get what you pay for with a free account.
How about hooking a buddy up with some CS5 & Dreamweaver!!!

Ulead GIF Animator 5 is easy to use.
