gif-from-tweet

There are so many great GIFs out there and I want to have copies of them. Twitter makes that harder than it should be by converting them to MP4 and not providing access to the source material. To make it easier, I made a bash pipeline that takes a tweet URL and a filename, extracts the MP4 from that tweet and uses ffmpeg to convert back to GIF.

Dependencies

• ffmpeg
  • macOS: brew install ffmpeg
  • Ubuntu/Debian: apt install ffmpeg

Conventions

• A = [xA, yA] is a point on the 2D plane. Same for B, C, ...
• lengths are in any unit (ex: pixels)
• code snippets are in JavaScript

Degrees to radians

angleRad = angleDeg * Math.PI / 180;

I'm experimenting with the most efficient way (in terms of CPU / battery usage) to make a small equalizer animation that will appear multiple times on a page.

I've tried CSS animations, CSS transitions, canvas drawing, and a plain GIF (and more not listed here!). I'd expect the CSS animations and transitions to be completely GPU powered, but Chrome 39.0.2171.99 on my Macbook Air 10.10 uses large amounts of CPU (shown in both the Chrome Task Manager as well as Activity Monitor). I've set layout boundaries via overflow: hidden, checked paint rects, etc.

Here are the different tests:

• JS-triggered Transitions (40% CPU chrome): http://s.codepen.io/kirbysayshi/debug/YPZgbY (code)
• scale3d animation (20% CPU chrome): http://s.codepen.io/kirbysayshi/debug/myWQyW (code)
• translate3d animation (40% CPU chrome): http://s.codepen.io/kirbysayshi/debug/gbmBym (code)
• canvas (12%
