## Animated GIFs

### Convert MP4 to GIF

    mkdir -p gif
    mplayer -ao null -vo gif89a:outdir=gif $INPUT
    mogrify -format gif *.png
    gifsicle --colors=256 --delay=4 --loopcount=0 --dither -O3 gif/*.gif > ${INPUT%.*}.gif
    rm -rf gif

You’ll need `mplayer`, `imagemagick` and `gifsicle`. This converts frames to .png, then turns them into an animated gif.

### A given range

    mplayer -ao null -ss 0:02:06 -endpos 0:05:00 -vo gif89a:outdir=gif videofile.mp4

See `-ss` and `-endpos`.
