# GIFPARDY
What is a command-line video-to-GIF maker?
## Installation
```sh
npm install -g gifpardy
```
## Usage
Path to source video is the only required argument.
If the GIF output filename is not given, the source video filename will be used
as a base.
```sh
gifpardy in.mp4
gifpardy in.mp4 out.gif
gifpardy -r 320x240 -d 8 in.mp4
gifpardy --resolution 1200x800 --delay 5 in.mp4 out.gif
```
| Option | Description | Default Value |
|------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------|---------------|
| -d, --delay | How much time to wait between frames in hundreths of a second. | 6 |
| -r, --resolution | GIF resolution. | 1000x630 |
## System Dependencies
Requires ffmpeg and gifsicle.
- [ffmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/)
- `brew install ffmpeg`
- `sudo apt-get install ffmpeg`
- `choco install ffmpeg`
- [gifsicle](https://www.lcdf.org/gifsicle/)
- `brew install gifsicle`
- `sudo apt-get install gifsicle`
- `choco install gifsicle`
## Under the Hood
gifpardy calls a command that looks like this:
```sh
ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -s 600x400 -pix_fmt rgb24 -r 7 -f gif - | gifsicle --optimize=3 --delay=6 > out.gif
```
## Taking a Screen Capture
Want to make a screen capture GIF, but don't know which screen recording tool
to use?
- On Windows, try [OBS Studio](https://obsproject.com/).
- On OS X, use QuickTime Player's screen recording tool (` + ^ + N`).
Then run GIFPARDY on the output video. For a final GIFPARDY, a GIF we created
with GIFPARDY:
