Any beginner-level advice (or recs for good guides) on making high quality gifs, webms, etc? I record lots of short videos with my phone and would like to be able to post them here on 4chan as well as on reddit and maybe even a personal blog.

What format(s) would you recommend? Are webms better than gifs, and is there anything better than webms? What software would you suggest?

I have a free trial of photoshop and after effects, but haven't been able to find good guides on how to use them for making animated gifs/webms.

I tried making some gifs in photoshop but they came out pretty grainy, I guess because gifs are limited to 256 colors.

Ideally, I'd like for what I create to be video-quality or close to it.
