##Prerequisites

You will need ffmpeg to use this package. Assuming you are using OS X, ffmpeg can be installed very easily with Brew.

##Usage

This following command will create an animated GIF from a Youtube Video of Neo fighting Morpheus in the film: The Matrix.

```

The -b flag specifies the seconds at which to begin converting the video file. The -d flag specifies the duration of clip you want to convert to an animated GIF. After typing the above command, your terminal output should look something like this:
