Creating an Animated GIF from a Video File

The first step is to open your terminal or command prompt on Windows and navigate to the folder where you saved the video file. Once you are in the correct directory, you can use the ffmpeg command to extract the frames from the video. For example, the following command will extract all of the frames from a video file named "myvideo.mp4" and save them as individual PNG files in a folder named "frames": ``` ffmpeg -i myvideo.mp4 -vf fps=10 frames/%05d.png ``` Once you have extracted the frames from the video, you can use the Gifski tool to create an animated GIF from the PNG files. The following command will create an animated GIF from the PNG files in the "frames" folder and save it as "mygif.gif": ``` gifski -o mygif.gif frames/*.png ```
