I'm using ffmpeg and imagemagick manually to generate animated gifs from QuickTime mov/mp4. I created this simple cli to make my life easier. I use this tool to take snapshots of interactive UIs and attach to pull requests.
The default options are optimised for quality and file size. The only options exposed are --resize and --delay.
Protip: Do not record your whole screen and try to generate a gif. This probably won't end well.
Dependencies
brew update
brew install ffmpeg
brew install imagemagick
Install
npm install -g movtogif-cli

For more options check out the help movtogif -h.
