can i edit a gif i made?

[Merkitten]

when i make a gif a lot of times ill want to edit it, if only to cut off theverybeginning when the pause button is on the screen (like if im making it from a youtube video). is there a way to trim the gifs we make? cos i cant see it...

so i made some gifs, and they look good, but when i text them theyre compressed so much they look like crap :/ is there a way to fix this? for example i made one of a cat kneading on a guys leg, then jumping up. it was 13-14 seconds. it looks normal when i view it in my gallery, but when i text it to soeone its so compressed it looks like 3 seconds of kneading & u dont even see the jump-its like the whole point of the gif is lost.

i want it to look like it does in the gallery?

When sharing use the link sharing option

YouTube links will make a gif look great. Just texting the actual video from the phone will cause it to pretty much overcompress
