It's a common method used to reduce filesize. but cannot adjust display time per frame. Is there a GUI?Ĭode: ffmpeg -i input.ext -i palette.png -lavfi paletteuse output.gif That will create a gif that is large (in gif terms), similar in quality and filesize to what solveig producesįfmpeg has a few dither options, scaling, filters.etc. Could you tell me how to use ffmpeg?
