I saw a. Lots of lp gifs. 10secundum long gifs.

I use FFmpeg and its filters.

These two filters were added by a year or so, while before It was a pain to achieve even a 5/10 score quality GIF image from a video.

However...

http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#palettegen - GIF format is limited to 256 colors, so it needs to extract the main colors used in the video to make the gif.

http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#paletteuse - It actually perform the operation of dithering to spread the colors over the image and build a GIF from the palette which has been given to it from palettegen.

EDIT

To make it the simplest possible.

http://ffmpeg.org/download.html - Download for Linux, Mac and Windows

It's a command line tool, so open your terminal, set your current directory where you just download the zipped file ( that you have to unzip ) and finally open the bin folder ( it has to be there... ).

In the bin folder you'll find: ffmpeg, ffprobe and ffplay. What you are going to use is ffmpeg.

In the terminal paste these commands ( these are only examples and may vary ):

1st:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i VIDEO -vf palettegen -y PALETTE.png

2nd:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i VIDEO -i PALETTE -lavfi paletteuse -y OUTPUT.gif

These are some results:

Can you post some examples of your creations using that software?

Maybe a simple screenshot guide for pc illiterates would be nice <3 Only if someone wants forcourse

I love gifs!
