Quick and Easy Gif Maker (Local)

Description

The EZGif website is awesome, but I got tired of waiting on gifs to upload and since I've been using ChatGPT to shortcut my coding, I've discovered that batch files are super quick, easy and convenient. Eventually, I'll probably do a GUI and maybe even an installer, but in the meantime it still gets the job done.

Instructions

FFMPEG

Standard Download

  • for the standard download, the FFmpeg folder can be added anywhere as long as the folder with the ffmpeg.exe file is added to Path.
  • For example, mine is "C:\ffmpeg\bin".
  • To add it, start typing "Environment Variables" into Windows search and select it when it comes up. That'll open the Advanced Tab of System Properties.
  • From there select Environment Variables at the bottom
  • select Path, then edit, then new, and add your path.

*To confirm FFmpeg is installed correctly open the command prompt and run: ffmpeg -version

Setup and Execute

  • Create a Folder folder Gif Conversions
  • add the batch files to the folder
  • add the video(s) to the folder
  • run the batch file...that's it

Notes

  • while there are several batch files to choose from, they are easy to edit as well
  • "-t" = time; I have 5 and 10 seconds, but you can change it to whatever you want
  • "fps" there is a 10fps and 20fps option if you need a smaller file
  • "scale" 600 is the default, but can be changed if you want a smaller gif
  • Notepad+ is great for making changes with screwing up the file extension

Any questions or suggestions drop em below. Share with other creators as this should save everyone a lot of time and effort, leaving more time for animation.
