Once you've installed and linked FFMpeg, you don't have to do so each time and the process becomes quicker. In case anyone stumbles here in the future, here's a step-by-step process I came up with. I ended up learning how to do it in Krita.

So, I had just run into this dilemma and couldn't get the above answers to work (or were too complicated). should work for video format outputs, never tried for gif. I think it was -vframes 8012 if you wanted to only make the gif just from images 8002 to 8012 just toss it after the input in that situation. Would be -start_number 8002 -i 'my pictures'%d.png I don't know if crf values work for gif or not but you'd just toss a -crf 18 before the output perhaps. You probably want to set the fps and start number tho so it would be like: For an image strip sequence named : ffmpeg -framerate 24 -start_number 800 -i %d.png -vf scale=500:-1,unsharp=lx=13:ly=13:la=1.0 output.gifįor jpeg the scaling operation uses -2 instead of -1 for the automatic proportional scaling feature. But you only scale if you need to change the scale of the input, otherwise it translates over to the output automatically as is. If you want to specify the scaling operation as lanczos or something else, its bicubic by default. If you are committed to high quality gif images you can expand on what your command uses a bit, search google.īut in general some things u might want to pair with it: ffmpeg -i input.mkv -vf scale=500:-1,unsharp=lx=13:ly=13:la=1.0 output.gif In many situations it may be preferable to make the dimensions and any effects desired in blender vse, with a gui, and export just the desired segment as a.

Then you can open a command console there and use the generic: ffmpeg -i input.mkv output.gif Google ffmpeg, download the latest stable release, extract, drag the ffmpeg.exe into the folder (or setups paths) of the things u want to turn into gif. You can go the other route though and download the ffmpeg library that is already within blender, allowing you to access it directly through a command prompt or powershell. As it was stated that's not possible outside of addons that introduce outside elements.

You specified you wanted an in-house solution.
