How to make animated gifs in max/msp?
Hello all.
My goal is to create animated .gif images from movie files on my computer. I am aware of alternatives for creating animated gifs, but I would like to make myself a Max setup for making them. I need to be able to specify the start and enpoints.
I have tried using jit.qt.record and I always receive the error "jit.qt.record: bad codec specified" even though gif is on the list of supported codecs for the object. I have also sending a exportmovie message to the jit.matrix object.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Anyone? Bueller?
I'm trying to figure this out as well.
I've got a simple patch that exports frames from the webcam, I'm guessing an external app is needed to compile them into an animated gif. I'd suggest a combination of automator and graphic converter.
Is there someone who figured it out already?
To export animated gif with max/msp ?
Use pyext to automate some shell script that takes the jpegs of your image sequence and spurts out a gif.
I done it. I used "FFmpeg".
When we used "ffmpeg" via "shell" object, we must enter each full-path.
Be careful.
