The full workflowįirst, you want to start with your source video or images. You only really need ffmpeg if you have a video source file, though everything else is done with ImageMagick. Depending on how idealistic your distro is, it might require adding some non-free repositories or even compiling ffmpeg from scratch. If you don’t, try installing HomeBrew which is a little more lightweight, and run a brew install imagemagick ffmpeg.įor Linuxes, I’ll leave you to figure out how to get those two packages from your package manager. If you’re on a Mac, and you already use MacPorts, it should be a simple sudo port install ImageMagick ffmpeg and a lot of thumb twiddling.
You won’t be able to jump into this without a little comfort on the command line, and the installation of ffmpeg (if you are working from a video source) and ImageMagick. I haven’t plunked down $6 for that yet, so I’ve still been trekking about on the command line, which is certainly more tedious, but you can control every step of the process and get exactly the results you want. On Windows, Paint Shop/Animation Shop used to be the go-to suite for doing this-now, the closest thing for Mac folks might be GIFBrewery, which has far less features and some mixed reviews. Surprisingly, there are few good tools for making animated GIFs on a Mac or Linux desktop. > ffmpeg -i PngSeq/Frame_%05d.png -framerate 12 -filter_complex "palettegen,paletteuse" PngSeq.I’ll start off this blog with something lightweight and relatively useless except for creating amusing internet gimmicks and perhaps the occasional animated diagram.
