A simple script to convert a movie file to a gif
This will help to get the script up and running on your machine
This script uses ffmpeg to convert the files and is written in python 3.5
I recommend installing ffmpeg with homebrew
To install homebrew, go to https://brew.sh/
Or enter the following command from terminal:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Now install ffmpeg:
brew install ffmpeg
Run the script from terminal:
python3 vid-gif.py /path/to/your/movie/file.mov
It will then handle the rest, outputting a gif the same resolution and frame rate as the source and into the source folder
