<p>I'm looking for a program but since I don't really know how these kind of effects are called, it is hard to search for it, so I hope someone here can give me some pointers.</p>

<p>I want to create animated gifs like this one: <a href="http://9gag.com/gag/aozMMGg" rel="nofollow">http://9gag.com/gag/aozMMGg</a>
The remarkable thing here is, that some parts of the gif enjoy a "wind effect". The tie and the picture in the background are blown away.</p>

<p>Personally, I think the creator did this in a SFX video program and converted the video to a gif. If so, does somebody know which program can do this?</p>

You could possibly draw each frame in Photoshop... Most likely a video editing program converted into a GIF. I personally can't help.
