FFMPEG Convert an MP4 file to an Animated GIF

The ffmpeg tool is incredibly useful for working with videos and can make your life so much easier. One of the things I’ve found useful is the ability to convert a video to an animated gif.

In this example we convert an mp4 file to an animated gif file:


ffmpeg -i vokoscreen-2021-06-05_12-43-53.mp4  exit-vim.gif

There are more options you could use that we aren’t covering here. You can change the quality and the resolution among other things.
