Video To Gif
Converts videos to GIFs by generating multiple variants with different quality and size tradeoffs, then shows you a comparison table so you can pick the best one instead of guessing at parameters. Runs FFmpeg with two-pass palette generation across combinations of FPS (10/15/20), width (480/640/800px), and color depth (128/256). Includes presets for quick comparisons, quality-focused output, or lossy compression via gifsicle if you need smaller files. The workflow is straightforward: point it at a video, get 4-18 GIFs depending on preset, compare them visually, keep the one that balances file size against smoothness and clarity. Honestly the best part is not having to re-encode five times manually when your first attempt is either too choppy or 50MB.

Skill: Video to GIF
Convert a video file into multiple GIF variants with different parameters, so the user can visually compare and pick the best one.
Prerequisite: FFmpeg and uv must be installed. gifsicle is optional (enables lossy compression variants).
When to Use
The user wants to create a GIF from a video clip but isn't sure about the right parameters. GIF quality involves tradeoffs between:
- File size — smaller is better for sharing/embedding
- Color accuracy — fewer colors = smaller but may cause banding
- Smoothness — higher FPS = smoother but larger
- Resolution — wider = sharper detail but larger
Rather than guessing, this skill generates multiple variants and lets the user decide.
Default Workflow
When the user provides a video file:
uv run --python 3.12 /path/to/skills/video-to-gif/scripts/video_to_gif.py <input.mp4>
This generates GIFs in <input>_gifs/ directory with the full preset (18 variants):
- 3 FPS options: 10, 15, 20
- 3 widths: 480px, 640px, 800px
- 2 color counts: 128, 256
Output includes a sorted comparison table showing file size, FPS, width, and colors for each variant.
