do the people on r/highqualitygifs know the miserable struggle we go through on here every single day , crawling on our bellies in the dirt of 10MB gif size limit and tumblr compression

[kotttyy]

I really need to learn how to make high quality gif, this is making my head spin and I’m a very obstinate person so I’ll get to know how to do it!!! #highqualitygif

TOOL TUTORIAL 4

Screencapping Frames with FFmpeg

FRAME BY FRAME SCREENCAPPING METHODS

Tool type: Command Line tool

Operating systems: Mac, Windows, and Linux

Difficulty: Even if it's your first ever time opening your command line and trying to type anything, I think you can do this! I believe in you! :D

Input: Video files (any video file format).

This tutorial is largely based on instructions provided by u/ChemicalOle as part of their GIMP GIFS 101 tutorial for r/HighQualityGifs.

WINDOWS USERS: CHANGE ALL FORWARD SLASHES IN THIS SCRIPT TO BACK SLASHES!!!

____________________________________

Tutorials I've made so far have covered gif-making methods where video footage is transformed straight to .gif and there is no need to screencap frames. When making gifs in Photoshop (and if you want to make gifs using GIMP) rather than input video straight into the program, you often load a stack of screencaps into the program—one screencap representing every frame. After all, gifs are nothing more than a series of images all stacked together playing one by one in a loop. So lets learn a super faster automated way of screencapping every frame in a video clip automatically. Even if you've never opened your OS's command line interface in your life, I think you can do this!

1. Install FFmpeg

I recommend you install FFmpeg via Homebrew if you're on Mac or Linux by pasting this into your terminal (if/once Homebrew is installed):

brew install ffmpeg

Windows users or other users who don't want Homebrew can follow install instructions on the FFmpeg website.

2. Make a Folder

Make a folder on your desktop called FRAMES and place your video source file in that folder.

I’m going to rename my source video video.mp4 for this tutorial, but you can also just change “video.mp4” to the name of the file in the script below—this includes changing the video file extension in the script below as needed. I don’t think there’s a video file type FFmpeg cannot work with.

3. Determine when the moment you want to gif begins and ends

I’m going to gif a short moment from Season 1 Episode 7 of Supernatural as an example.

According to my video player (I'm using IINA) the exchange I want to gif starts at 8:02.565 and ends at 08:10.156. While you can trim precisely by the millisecond, I’m going to assume your video player doesn’t show milliseconds since many don't.

I'm going to keep the start of my clip at 08:02 but round up the end timestamp 1 second to make sure I get all the milliseconds in that second I want to include. In my case: I need to start capturing at precisely 8.02 and end capturing at 08.11, which is 9 seconds later.

4. Use this script template

You want to use the following template script u/ChemicalOle provided (replacing each # with a number you need):

cd YourFilePathGoesHere ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -r ## -t # -ss ##:## -f image2 frame_%4d.png

video.mp4 is where your video file name goes (including changing the video extension if you need to to .mkv, .mpg, .mov, etc).

-ss ##:## specifies when to start capturing. (I need to put 08:02 here)

-t # specifies how many seconds to spend capturing. (I need to put 9 here)

-r ## tells FFmpeg how many times to capture a .png every second (i.e. the frames per second or FPS). u/ChemicalOle recommends you set this at 30 for a 30 FPS capture.

-f image2 frame_%4d.png tells FFmpeg to output .png images with the name frame_0001.png, frame_0002.png, frame_0003.png, etc.

In my case, my script will look like this:

cd ~/Desktop/FRAMES ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -r 30 -t 9 -ss 08:02 -f image2 frame_%4d.png

The top line starting with cd just tells my terminal to change directories to where my video file is located, and where to dump the frames to be generated (in the FRAMES folder with my video file). (Windows users: change forward slashes to back slashes and that cd command will move you to your FRAMES folder too).

When you input this command into your system shell (Terminal on Mac, Powershell on Windows) and press enter, you you might feel like it’s stalling at first or not working because

"Press [q] to stop, [?] for help"

Will be printed on the screen. It is working though! Just leave it alone for minute and it'll start working. When the cursor prompt reappears, there will be a bunch of PNGs in your FRAMES folder, organized in sequence by number.

How do you make your gifs? Your sense of timing and eye for little moments is terrific btw

Ahh, thank you! I've been getting better at spotting moments and actively thinking about the gifsets I want while making them. This is part of what makes me want to re-gif the first couple arcs later on :)

I use both After Effects and Photoshop (pirated versions) and with AE I export them as a PNG sequence and then use Photoshop to make them full gifs. So, right now I'm doing the After Effects end of things then I'll spend a day doing the final gifs and uploading them to my queue.

I tend to go for a backlog of 300 gifs (which can be achieved in 3-4 episodes for me) before I start doing the Photoshop end just to get big batches done at once then I can not think about it for a bit.

I scoured /r/highqualitygifs for information on making, well, high-quality gifs lol.
