MOV to GIF: Converting QuickTime Screen Recordings into Animated GIFs

Introduction

MOV is a video format primarily associated with QuickTime, a media player developed by Apple. It is commonly used for storing video recordings, including those captured using the screen recording feature on Apple devices.

Converting MOV to GIF Using Ffmpeg

To convert a MOV screen recording to an animated GIF, you can use the ffmpeg command-line tool. Here's a sample command:

``` ffmpeg -i inmov -s 600x400 -pix_fmt rgb24 -r 10 -f gif - gifsicle --optimize3 --delay3 outgif ```

This command will convert the input MOV file (inmov) to a GIF named outgif with a resolution of 600x400, a frame rate of 10 frames per second, and using the RGB24 pixel format. The gifsicle command is then used to optimize and add a delay of 3 milliseconds between frames.
