If you're looking for programs that help you capture scenes from videos, you can try Virtual Dub.
Here's a tutorial on how to use it: http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=642
After that it's your usual Photoshop/Gimp steps to make the gifs.

Actually, I capture the scenes manually like you, but that's just me. :x
