Here's an example GIF I made, with GAP in GIMP, using the above steps, from a sample MP4 file available here. When the GIF export dialog appears, select the "Save as animation" option. To export the GIF click File > Export As (or if you are using GIMP 2.6.x use File > Save As), choose GIF as the file type.
To see a preview of the animation click Filters > Animation > Playback This will open a new image window with the layers optimised. Optimise the animation using Filters > Animation > Optimise (for GIF). You can select 64 colours to try to keep the file size smaller. This will open a new image window in GIMP, with the video converted to layers.Īt this point, you may wish to scale the image to make it smaller, to keep the file size small.Ĭlick Image > Mode > Indexed, and choose Floyd-Steinberg (reduced color bleeding) as the dither method. Open the folder and you should see them in there. This is normal!Īt this point, the folder you have chosen as the output folder should fill with XCF files for each frame of the video. Note that this will show up as only 1 layer in the image window. Also make sure the output folders are set to the same folder that your video file is in. Before you do this make sure your video file is in a folder on its own. Is there a default setting that I need to change somewhere to allow Gimp to covert the video into more than one frame? If not, has anyone else encountered this problem and found a fix? So, I'm guessing that behavior may be an indicator of whatever the main problem is. However, if I click on the slider above the video preview in the "Video Range" screen, the "To Frame" and the "End frame" values reset to 1.
In the Video Range screen, 180 is now the "End Frame" (which makes sense).Let's say I select "To Frame" and put in 180 (refer to screenshot below).Once I'm back in the main gimp screen, only one frame shows up in Layers. Selected "Create only one multilayer image".Set "To Frame" to 180 (I've tried using different ranges here).Went to Video > Split Video Into Frames > Extract.I downloaded and installed GAP (I pasted the resources I used below).I am trying to use Gimp (2.8) to convert an mp4 video to a gif.
