.mov -> .gif mit ffmpeg

converting .mov files (created by MacOS screencasts for example) to small .gif files that you can easily send via email.

You will then have a quick action after right clicking any .mov file and can simply convert it to a small and optimised .gif file.

   * 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

for f
do
    if [[ $f == *.mov ]]; then
        /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -i "$f" -pix_fmt rgb24 -r 10 -f gif - | /usr/local/bin/gifsicle --optimize=3 > "$f".gif
    fi
done

This is how everything should look after you are finished. mov_to_giv_automator
