You can pipe the frames from FFmpeg to convert to avoid temporary files. http://superuser.com/a/730389 http://superuser.com/a/730389

  Neat! Unix pipes are amazing. Thanks.

  Not sure, actually. Never had it be enough of a resource hog to even think about it.

  Yes, all frames will be in memory prior to making the GIF. Probably fine for most GIFs, but if you want to go FFmpeg | ImageMagick | FFmpeg for processing a video, or maybe for a longer GIF, you can use this script to keep only a frame at a time in memory: http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/scripts/process_ppm_pipeline http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/scripts/process_ppm_pipelin...
