Gifsicle wrapper, bash - Convert your stuff!

testicle.sh

#!/bin/bash
#     It has a funny name, but a valuable purpose.  It will convert movies to optimized gif images of an extremely small size
#     while preserving a decent amount of their quality.  It uses the standard stream and DOES NOT create any junk on the
#     filesystem, making it extremely fast!
#
# Dependencies required:  gifsicle, ffmpeg

# Example use:
#     testicle.sh my_lewd_movie.webm my_lewd_animation.gif
