VID-GIF converter

A simple script to convert a movie file to a gif

Getting Started

This will help to get the script up and running on your machine

Prerequisites

This script uses ffmpeg to convert the files and is written in python 3.5
I recommend installing ffmpeg with homebrew

To install homebrew, go to https://brew.sh/
Or enter the following command from terminal:

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Now install ffmpeg:

brew install ffmpeg

Running the script

Run the script from terminal:

python3 vid-gif.py /path/to/your/movie/file.mov

It will then handle the rest, outputting a gif the same resolution and frame rate as the source and into the source folder
