I saw somewhere that you can make GIF banners of channel art. Does anyone know how to make one or can refer me to a video on how. It would me much appreciated. Also can you guys take a look and give an opinion on how my channel looks now?

Thanks

All you do is convert the video into a gif then upload that as your banner :) Better way, make a banner in photoshop then animate it in after effects with the layers then render as a gif :D
 
Yeah it's very simple, you just have a video or animation exported as a GIF then upload it.

Bare in mind that it isn't overpowering. If it's a banner with flashing colours, rainbows, cats and unicorns then its gonna turn the user's attention away from your content.

An animated banner can work in your favour if it's done right, simple and subtle is the key.
 
Using photoshop would probably be best for a custom one..
I used photoshop for my banner, it's very simple as I'm not the best at photoshop but yeah, animated banners are awesome :)
