For instance, in this article I actually had some bugs with Homebrew I had to fight. In truth I have just had a little easier time with MacPorts while I seem to have to wrestle a little more with Homebrew. Homebrew is a little easier to use, MacPorts is a little more complicated but powerful (though many would argue the point). You might be asking “what’s the difference between Homebrew and MacPorts?” Well, they basically do the same thing.

The command will be “brew install ffmpeg –ANY-OPTIONS-YOU-WANT”.Įxample: brew install ffmpeg -with-fdk-aac -with-toolsĪ couple quick notes.

There are two options for an “easy install”, Homebrew or MacPorts. I promised a blog post in our community that might help him or others dealing with media. ffmpeg and convert (from ImageMagick) FPS1x30 FRAMES10 Export frames from video fs: ffmpeg \ -i loop.mov \ -vf fps(FRAMES) \ frames/f02d.jpg Convert frames to GIF gif: convert \ -delay (FPS) \ -geometry 1400x800 \ frames/.jpg \ bin/15fps-(FPS).

A friend emailed over the weekend asking how to install it on a Mac. Thankfully it has gotten easier though the simpler installation methods aren’t well published. However, one down side to FFmpeg is that it’s flexible nature can make it tricky to install. Components of FFmpeg are found in many media products. VLC actually uses the codec library from the FFmpeg project, that’s why it works so well. If you work in media you probably use VLC, a great tool, plays about anything. It includes sub-components that allow for just about infinite flexibility. It includes an entire library of codecs that can be used to wrangle just about any piece of video. Also set the -delay and -loop at the end, if you want to make changes.For those that don’t know about FFmpeg, it’s a project containing a command line suite of tools that allow someone to convert quite literally any piece of media to any other piece of media. You may need to add a -dispose method before reading the input animation to avoid a flicker. convert in_animation.gif -coalesce -crop WxH+X+Y +repage -layers optimize out_animation.gif These png files were created from the convert (imagemagick) command where. So in ImageMagick you probably want to coalesce the animation before cropping. The resulting video is just a blank green screen with some flicker here and. Check it out! Solution 3Īnimations are often optimized, which means that some frames are smaller than others. It can also do all sorts of other operations. gifsicle -crop 0,0-100,100 -output out.gif in.gif I found a program called Gifsicle and it works great for manipulating animated gifs. Applying +repage after the crop will do this.Įven with the coalesce and repage, I could not get ImageMagick to crop and resize animated gifs very well.

Crop does not remove the canvas that it snipped from the image.

For example, a crop 40 wide and 30 high at an x offset of 50 = 40x30+50+0.

The crop itself is straightforward, with width, height, x offset and y offset supplied respectively.

Other commands will take into consideration the offset information supplied in the original gif, so you need to force that to be reset with -repage 0x0.

Animated gifs are often optimised to save space, but imagemagick doesn't seem to consider this when applying the crop command and treats each frame individually.
