Why does this skill use a two-pass process for GIFs?

Standard single-pass conversions often result in color banding. The two-pass method first analyzes your specific video to create an optimal 256-color palette, resulting in much higher visual quality.

What dependencies are required for the make-gif skill?

This skill requires ffmpeg and ffprobe to be installed on your system and available in your shell environment.

Is this skill good for screen recordings?

Yes, it includes specific dithering optimizations like 'dither=none' which are perfect for maintaining crispness in flat-color content like UI demos and slide decks.

Can I convert specific segments of a video?

Absolutely. You can define specific start times and durations, and the skill uses fast-seek technology to process long source files quickly.

Will this skill help me manage large GIF file sizes?

Yes, the skill calculates potential file sizes based on your duration and FPS settings, providing a warning if the output is likely to exceed 10MB.

Converts video clips into high-quality animated GIFs using an optimized two-pass palette generation workflow.

The make-gif skill enables Claude Code to transform video files into professional-grade GIFs without common issues like color banding or artifacts. By utilizing a mandatory two-pass ffmpeg process, it analyzes the specific video content to build a custom 256-color palette before rendering, ensuring superior visual fidelity. The skill intelligently manages parameters such as start time, duration, and FPS, provides size warnings for large exports, and utilizes advanced flags like Lanczos scaling and Bayer dithering to deliver the best possible output for both photographic and flat-color content.
