Gif Conversion from .mov

One day I'll convert this into a handy script to quickly convert our .mov files. Until then I'll record all my conversion tasks here.

Here's a better writeup https://gist.github.com/dergachev/4627207 -- I just wanted one specific to my needs Or here http://blog.room208.org/post/48793543478

Examples

• Convert first 7 seconds of webclip.mov to a gif at a framerate of 8 f/s

  ffmpeg -t 7 -i webclip.mov -s 304x540 -pix_fmt rgb24 -r 8 -f gif - | gifsicle --optimize=3 --delay=10 > webclip-2.gif

• Delete the first 4 frames of fish-swimming.gif --batch edits the file in place, -i designates the input file --delete does the frame deletion

  gifsicle --batch -i fish-swimming.gif --delete "#1-4"

Ffmpeg to Imagemagick example

• Split it into pngs

  ffmpeg -i dev-preview.mov -t 10 out%03d.png

• Convert it into .gif with imagemagick

  convert -fuzz 1% -delay 0x30 *.png -coalesce -layers OptimizeTransparency animation.gif

• Fix colors if needed

  gifsicle --batch -i animation.gif --optimize=3 --colors 256
