Zero-click animated Gifs

Drop to GIF

Zero-click movie to GIF conversion. Select a folder to watch and every movie saved or moved into that folder will be converted to an animated GIF.

Download for OSX 10.10+

Dragging

Drag a movie onto the app. The animated GIF will be saved in the same folder as the movie. You can also drag the file onto the app's dock icon.

Watch a folder

Save a movie from any app into the watched folder and the app will convert it immediately

Settings

Tweak the frames per second setting to trade off between file size and quality

droptogif's Issues

not converting on 10.14.6?

I tried Drop To Gif today to create .gifs out of a few .mov's that are about 140mb each.

I drop one .gif on top and nothing happens. The .mov starts playing in the window, but a .gif is never outputted. I tried looking in Console.app for any obvious errors and I see a lot of logging but nothing so useful.

Support distribution via Cask

Would you considering supporting Homebrew/Cask distribution?

Would be nice to install and update via CLI

brew cask install droptogif

Perhaps?

Would love to help set up the Formulae if interested

Support for iOS

This is fantastic library, could you separate to a framework and support for both iOS and OS X ?

Crash Report: macOS

When I try to make a gif out of a video file (mov), Drop to GIF crashes.

I'm using the most up-to-date version, 1.28 running macOS Sierra 10.12.3

it create a lot of temp file in the /tmp dir

when i try to drop a video in to it , It create over than 100GB temp file in the /tmp dir。 I think it is a bug.

ps: the video file is created by Quick time player Screen Recording

Makes two loops

Just tried to convert an mp4 file and the resulting gif made two loops. I don't see a setting for number of loops, but it loops twice. 1.28 (12)

Option to match FPS to source video

A checkbox next to the text field

• creation of getfps.sh (similar to getsize.sh) that can be run prior to conversion.

Launching app by dropping movie unto app bundle results in too many loader balls

Progress indication sometimes isn't appearing for .mov files

I have a ~30 second .MOV file. When I drop it into DropToGif, I see the first frame flicker in the app, then nothing. Doesn't appear convert it or do anything.

Great Job but on on 12.1 Beta convertig does not start

Very clever Idea! Any chance for a new version with some bugfixes?

Please add license

Please add a license so that more people will be able to consume you're project. Preferably MIT.

mp4 vs. m4v

It seems Drop to Gif does not support the m4v extension. I have to rename the files to mp4.

Auto-fps

This is a checkbox setting that binds to the user defaults controller

If set to true, adjust frames per second and possibly scale based on the dragged in movie, so that the resulting gif will always be around 5 Mb.

Port to linux / ubuntu

Would be great if this would work on linux / ubuntu. Then in connection with #3 it could just run server side.

droptogif don't appearance EonilFileSystemEvents.framework

no have : EonilFileSystemEvents.framework 、spritekit.playground、regexp.playground

Add setting for scale

The scale setting would be a textfield that takes a pixel value for the resulting GIF's width. The app should calculate the corresponding height and use that in the conversion script

Loopin

How do you get droptogif to autoloop? Right now I have to load it into photoshop to turn it on and this seems silly!

Processes are not ended after each conversion

I'm seeing an issue where processes are not not ended after each conversion. Anyone else experiencing this?

Spritekit loader doesn't show in El Capitan

Can't make gifs larger than 1500px

The slider for max dimensions is too limiting, it would be great to be able to have a larger range.

“%@” can’t be found.

I have used this to simply convert my 1,3mb mp4 to gif but can't get an export, then dropped the video over and over into the app, and my disk space increased like crazy.
Then I removed the app with CleanMyMac.
Now I downloaded it again and when I tried to open it, it says:
“%@” can’t be found.

what should I do :(

Running on Mojave 10.14.3 results in folders losing their thumbnail

On macOS Mojave 10.14.3, the app seems to disassociate objects of kind: Folder with their preview icon. Though they will have a preview icon, folders will have just a thumbnail of a blank page.

No Files Created

Just installed the latest version.

1. I do not see the animations as seen in the demo GIFs. When I drag a video file into the application I get a system toast that says "Animating" then it continues to loop the video indefinitely.

2. After setting the watch folder and dragging videos into it--- nothing happens.

Am I missing something? Or some kind of permissions?

set the duration of gif

It would be great to cut the video, and set the start time and end

Don't play the video's sound

when I drop the video starts playing a weird and distorted song

Port to windows

This will be a long work and I want to look at your code and work at it.

Gray line at the bottom of the (resized) GIF, when the movie had white background.

I made a screen recording (1600112 resolution), but when Drop To Gif turns it into a 90056px GIF, the bottom line is gray. Argh.

CPU & file size

Hey, great concept but when i opened the app and dropped a short mp4 the convert process took up almost the entire CPU on my rMBP and after I killed that convert process and came back to my mac after a while I got a warning message that my startup disk memory was almost full. I had 160GB free on my ssd and the convert process somehow was still writing a file larger and larger somewhere. I killed that process and immediately got all 160gb free disk space back. Don't know what caused all this.

Kill spritekit scene completely when entering background

Hi. About the certificate .

Xcode can't run tihs project bacause Certificate.. so can can you remoce it ???

Permanent folder action

Make the folder action work when the app is closed.

Also add a checkmark in settings to turn folder watching on and off
