Both geometry optimization and vibration modes movies can be easily made
using Molden (http://www.cmbi.ru.nl/molden/molden.html). You'll need an
X server to run Molden, so a Unix-like operating system (as Linux) may
be helpful. Once you have Molden running select "Read" from the
control
dialog and select the Gaussian output. There is a small button on that
dialog (the second one) which creates one GIF file for each optimization
step. The GIFs will be created in the working directory as molxxx.gif
(so a maximum number of 999 optimisation steps are allowed, a huge
number, isn't it?). To assemble those GIFs you may try to "convert"
them
by using some graphics software (i.e. ImageMagick's convert):
convert -adjoin mol*.gif animated_output.gif
