hey, i was wondering if there is some easy way to export a flipbook and/or render as an animated gif… because, the internet.

are there any handy dandy scripts or can you use cops for this? Otherwise, i was thinking write something in python, maybe?

otherwise otherwise, can somebody recommend a good tool for turning a frame sequence into gifs… gimp maybe?

YES YES YES. GIF ALL THE THINGS.

I've written up some notes on various gif tricks:

It just occurred to me I could/should wrap up ffmpeg with a unix (shell) rop. Hmm.

oh, thanks! that's a nice lil' reference. I re-found image magick already. I used to use that with Perl back in the day. I can't believe it has been gone from my life for so long!

GIF all the things! GIF all the things!!!

This occurred to me few times in the last few months.

Some great reference there between ffmpeg and imagemagik for this,
but I thought it would be nice if there was a python api out there.

looks like there is:
