How to generate gif from avi using ffmpeg? [closed]
I had a similar problem trying to generate high quality animated gif from a series of images extracted from a movie.
For some reasons the animated gif generated with ffmpeg only contains 103 colors assumable using a fixed 256 level system color palette resulting in horrific result. My solution was instead
ffmpeg -i video.avi -t 10 out%02d.gif
then
gifsicle --delay=10 --loop *.gif > anim.gif
Quality is then quite good. You can find gifsicle here
