This is our newly created 256 color palette for our specific video which is generated by the palettegen filter. When we look in the folder of our mpeg file well noice that a file ‘palette.png’ has been added. To create this palette type: ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -filter_complex " palettegen" palette.png

Luckily FFmpeg allows us to create a custom palette for our specific video. First install ffmpeg MP4 - Scale down video to 720 height and 24 fps MP4 - Same as previous but add fade-in/out for 10 frames WebM with similar settings as. ffmpeg -i framed.png -r 24 -vcodec libx264 -pixfmt yuv420p -movflags +faststart -crf 16 -colorprimaries 5 -colorspace 5 -colortrc 6 -vf croptrunc (iw/2)2:trunc (ih/2)2 output. This is in general not optimal for the specific video that you want to convert. FFmpeg by default uses a generic palette of 256 colors that covers the widest range of content. Because GIFs only uses 256 colors the number of colors from the mpeg4 needs to be reduced. This is due to the default GIF encoding in FFmpeg. When we look closely at the resulting GIF we clearly notice some shortcomings in the animation. For the size of the GIF make sure that the aspect ratio remains the same or the resulting GIF will be distorted. This command reduces the framerate to 12 per second and resizes to 320×180 pixels. To achieve this we need the following command: ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -r 12 -s 320x180 output.gif In order to reduce the size of the file we can reduce the size of the images or we can reduce the number of frames per second. So you’ll end up with a file that’s much bigger than the original mpeg4 and probably something that exceeds the upload limit of Diaspora*, Friendica or Mastodon. Unfortunately gif images are large due to their lossless data compression. Where the name of the input file is input.mp4 and output.gif is the name of the output file. The basic command to create an animated GIF from a mpeg4 is: ffmpeg -i input.mp4 output.gif

Below I will explain not only how to create a animated GIF from an mpeg4 movie but I also provide instructions to improve the quality. In fact suppose this post is more for users that like to tinker a lot with their animated GIFs. A word of warning FFmpeg is a command line tool that’s very versatile but it’s not for everybody. Reasons to Try: Compatible with almost all browsers. Click the Start button to start the conversion. Upload the JPG file you want to convert by clicking the Choose File button. FFmpeg is available for Windows, Linux and OSX. Open a browser and go to online-convert JPG To MP4 converter. FFmpeg is a good FLOSS tool to create these animated GIFs. The total number of images extracted from the video will become 9 (1 image x 9.13 seconds). The frames of the video will be dropped as the original frame rate is 30 fps. Once you have changed the name, hit enter. For example, adding -vf fps1 to the basic command will re-encode the video to 1 fps. Where 'X' is (the metadata title), change it to the name you want to give your output video.

In the command line, type or copy and paste this: Step 3. Animated GIFs are after all these years still pretty popular. FFmpeg VOB to MP4 conversion with high quality can be done by following the steps below.
