I've been busy the past two days making this tool, hope it helps!

Good luck and have fun!

[Sasja]

It might, I wrote some instructions for Mac, but no one's tested it yet

Download: http://kworb.net/makegifsmac.zip

Extract this somewhere.

Then download a Mac version of ffmpeg: http://ffmpegmac.net/

And also the Mac version of Mediainfo: http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en/Download/Mac_OS
Not sure which one you need, DyLib I guess? It should be one file, and you need to put it in the same folder as the MakeGif.jar

Then you can run MakeGif.jar, and in it make sure to Browse to the ffmpeg you downloaded.

Maybe then it works, let me know how it goes!

[silverwhite]

Will let you know

Which DyLib did you get? Maybe try the other one on the page

Also I released a new version, with a new URL: http://kworb.net/kworbgifmac.zip

I tried the Universal one first, then the other one. The first one was a folder while the second one was a DMG file For the second one, I just opened it and dragged the MediaInfo file into the kworbgifmac folder

This is the error message I got this time

That one works I hope. Just put it in the folder like before and try again.

BTW, do you work or study? You have so many things going on here and on Pulse

The programme seems to work fine for .flv files but not for .mp4 ones, for which this line keeps repeating

frame= 0 fps= 0 q=0.0 size= 0kB time=00:00:00.00 bitrate= 0.0kbits/s
frame= 0 fps= 0 q=0.0 size= 0kB time=00:00:00.00 bitrate= 0.0kbits/s
frame= 0 fps= 0 q=0.0 size= 0kB time=00:00:00.00 bitrate= 0.0kbits/s

[silverwhite]

Oh no. I've another problem.

The gif I made works when I open it in a web browser (but not in Preview). When I tried to upload it on Tumblr, it appears as a still image

Yes I work for a transport research company, doing programming, data processing, data analysis and mathematical modeling. but I work fast, so I can spend half a day doing real work and pretend it took me a whole day to do it, which means I have plenty of time for other stuff.

I think that happens when it's a long video and it has to search for the right start time. Keep it running for a while, or try the first few seconds, and see if this is still a problem.

That's because of Tumblr's size restrictions. I think they only allow 1 MB for gifs. I suggest uploading it to tinypic.com instead.

Didn't think of that

[silverwhite]

Oh yes. Any chance to have the option of adding text, in a later version?
