   * fire up automator
   *     create a new quick action
   *     add a shell script to your workflow
   *     paste the following code and don’t forget to choose “as arguments” in the pass input dropdown
   *     save it

You need ffmpeg and gifsicle installed so if you haven’t install them via homebrew.

brew install ffmpeg
brew install gifsicle
