Sorry to go off topic, but I'm wondering what's the goal of the tool as there are already ways of doing this. I've created a bat file that uses youtube-dl to download a video and convert it to gif using several tools and parameters (ffmpeg, imagemagick). I use it to make inline posts on hangouts since it's 2018 and I need a mobile device to post inline videos there for some reason. Anyway, your tool seem to get good image size on videos with lots of colors, but horrible size on simpler images. Using the --fast switch as it took 6 minutes to convert 387 frames to save 10% on filesize. I'm comparing it to ffmpeg with a pallete as it seems to get similar image quality with a smaller size in most cases. Gist of my bat file. https://gist.github.com/Nodja/8ece6c3d866867877442e34bf67ece9c https://gist.github.com/Nodja/8ece6c3d866867877442e34bf67ece... edit: After reading this after posting it, it looks as I'm super critical/aggressive. I'm just genuinely curious at what drove you to write the tool as there are already ways to achieve what you wanted. Didn't mean to antagonize you.
