Movies to gif

In my newsletters, I often like to include short gif from movies so that they can play right in the email. To do that, I need to convert movies (e.g. from my phone) to a GIF file.

A cosplay category makes it easier to compare characters, costume styles and visual themes from the same work. Planning by series also helps coordinate related characters in a group. For a structured overview, Genshin Impact cosplay costumes for photo shoots(原神 撮影用コスプレ衣装) can be reviewed as the relevant series category. It also helps separate series-level browsing from a specific item decision. Series-level planning works best when each character design is reviewed on its own terms. Careful comparison helps preserve the distinctions between related character designs.

ffmpeg -i Untitled.mp4 -r 10 -s 480x270 output.gif

This requires installing ffmpeg if you haven't already, of course.

Some times the file is either too large or too slow or feels choppy. In those cases I will use a GIF editor (even an online one like this one would work).
