giffler v1.0.1
Video to Gif
I was tired of programs that would crash with more than 300 frames and online
tools with absurd restrictions in terms of fps and length... Like gfycat.
So much :poop:
In comes giffler
In its current form, Giffler is command line tool that converts most video formats (anything supported by ffmpeg) to gif files without compromising on quality. Output gifs are not as huge as you might think, ImageMagick's convert has some incredible optimization algorithms.
60 fps 3% fuzz, dithering on: giffler --input bunny.mp4 --fps 60
installation
npm install -g giffler
It has no dependencies on Windows.
Linux and Mac users need to have ffmpeg and ImageMagick's convert installed.
Converting video to gifs
Creates vid.mp4.gif
in the current directory:
giffler --input vid.mp4
Prints full documentation:
giffler --help
FAQ
How to edit/crop/cut/shorten?
Do that before using giffler, I like HandBrake.Found a problem of any kind?
Open an issue on github! :smile:Isn't this just a wrapper around other tools?
Yes. You could spend a day figuring out how to get everything working and which parameters are optimal, or just runnpm install -g giffler
. The choice is yours.
