How do I convert only a specific segment of a video?

You can use the --Start and --Duration flags to specify the exact timestamp to begin and how many seconds of footage to include in your GIF.

Can I limit the file size for specific platforms like Discord or Twitter?

Yes, you can use the 'size' optimization preset, reduce the width, or lower the FPS. The skill provides an estimated file size preview before you confirm the processing.

What source formats are supported for GIF creation?

It supports standard video formats (MP4, MOV, etc.) via FFmpeg and image sequences using folder paths or glob patterns like 'frame_*.png'.

What external dependencies are required for this skill?

This skill requires FFmpeg for core processing. ImageMagick and Gifsicle are optional but recommended for advanced image sequence handling and additional lossy compression.

How does 2-pass palette generation improve GIF quality?

The first pass analyzes the source to create a custom 256-color palette specific to that video, while the second pass applies it. This results in significantly better color representation than standard methods.
