I have downloaded some of these softwares, but it won't run and fail to upload. : (

I found an alternative from cloud, but it requires me to upload avi - download gif - upload gif. I have to download because they only do storing for 1 day. Oh well .-.

So yea, I'd like to save my conversion time, so I'm wondering if anyone knows any working avi to gif converter, I don't need HD quality or such, I just need them to be large and clear enough to display what's happening.

Thanks. : )

Can't you just open it up in a program (such as fireworks) and save as "filename.gif" (in the speech marks)?

Yea, you should beable to just open with any decent art program, and just save it as a Gif.

ffmpeg -> extract frames


imagemagick -> combine frames into gif


Most converters I've used did a terrible job and ended up destroying the quality.


ffmpeg supports avi to gif, but I didn't like the results (maybe the options I set were wrong).


Plus, free command-line tools, you can write a batch file once and re-use it for all avi's in the future. Especially if you're processing dozens of them you don't want to sit there and so tedious things like "open -> save as" when you can just run a script and let it do its job while you do other more useful things.

I found the combination of FormatFactory + HyperCam2 to be severe on quality wise (check my post on the game making drive), but speed wise is decent. : x

I'll check that ffmpeg, thanks.

@Zoltor

I guess I have no decent art program. .-.

Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
