I switched to ffmpegging my gifs a year ago and haven't looked back. It's a bit annoying to begin with but now so much easier than using some 3rd rate program or having to upload everything to EZGif. It's worth the pain!
- devadvance 6y agoAuthor here. This is the same journey I went through and I 100% agree! It can be intimidating at first, but FFmpeg is a a worthwhile utility to begin learning. I've also added some shell functions[0] to my dotfiles to make it a bit easier to use when switching between several different machines.

- jonplackett 6y agoYou've made a really handy cheat sheet, thanks! Bookmarked it for future use! And yeah, it's great, and not just for gifs. Just quickly re-encoding something in a different format / container is so much easier than faffing around opening a proper program. Took a while to not get annoyed with it though and figure out annoying watch-outs like -pix_fmt yuv420p, which I now finally have memorised.
