hero0fwar won gif tournament 3 round 3 with this gif:

Nice use of Javert in there.

But they cheat! They use pro video software.

It's not gif editing anymore, it's video editing that is turned into a gif afterwards.

True for most.

But not hero0fwar. He only uses Photoshop!

Congrats hero on your round 3 victory!!

Mmm I have big doubts on the use of Photoshop for the rewind effect...

Seriously, that's all he used. He's amazing that way.

OP confirms below. All Photoshop.

Yep everything other than the video it's self was photoshop. The rewind effect was pretty easy. It's a single effect just copy and pasted into twenty frames 

That was a great effect, and it shows how creative you are. I'm happy to know you, man.
