Use the smallest useful moment.
A reaction, demo or tiny loop usually works better than converting a whole clip just because you can.
Video, GIF & Audio

Keep it short
A reaction, demo or tiny loop usually works better than converting a whole clip just because you can.
Keep it sensible
A smaller GIF often looks almost identical in a chat or post while weighing a fraction of the file size.

If the platform accepts video, repeating a short MP4/WebM-style clip is usually lighter and smoother than GIF.
What next?
Use the result you just made as the starting point, not a reason to open a full editor.
