Gifski Win

Warning

This is NOT a finished product. It was an experiment inspired by Sindre Sorhus' Mac Gifski app, at sindresorhus/Gifski. It probably won't work properly. I might revisit it in the future to squash bugs and polish it off – but I might also not! Sorry :)

A native Windows GUI application for gifski! Convert video files into high quality GIFs!

This project makes use of ffmpeg (source) and gifski (source), and was inspired by this tweet advertising the gifski GUI for Mac. I thought, "hey, I could make a Windows version of that!"

And so I did!

TODOs

• Fix crash (from .SetAnimatedSource) when generated GIF is too large
• Check if dragged file is actually a video file / can be converted
• Delete previous output that is being left on %temp%
• Add cancel functionality to conversion window
• Cropping and other tweaking settings to the video pre-conversion
• The GIF conversion is being slow, for some reason. This might be a misconfiguration issue, or perhaps it might just be how the Windows port of gifski itself runs, in which case that's sad :T
• Properly styling the buttons, and improving the overall design of the windows

Notes

GIFs are archaic and not very efficient. It is more than likely that the original video file will be much smaller in size compared to the generated GIF. Keep that in mind when considering using GIFs.

Also, it's pronounced /ɡɪf/.
