Convert Video to Animated GIFs

As you may have noticed, I’ve been having some fun lately converting video to animated GIFs.  If you want to join in the fun, follow along with me

1. Install MPlayer
2. Find the video you want to convert (any format MPlayer can read)
3. Run this on your command prompt (BASH/cmd/etc.):  mplayer YOURVIDEO.avi -vo gif89a:FPS.0:OUTPUTFILE.gif

If you have ImageMagick installed, you can then crop your animated GIF using the command: convert -crop WIDTHxHEIGHT-CROPRIGHT+CROPTOP -crop WIDTHxHEIGHT+CROPLEFT-CROPBOTTOM OUTPUTFILE.gif CROPPEDFILE.gif

I said it would be fun, not simple   And now, a video of me being thrown off a horse:
