Feb 26, 2015 at 22:17 comment added Peter Cordes Point being, yes if you want to publish as a GIF, then make one (e.g. with ffmpeg -i %d.jpg output.gif). Otherwise it's a horrible choice for making your image frames into a video that you can import. (lossless h.264, huffyuv, or utvideo would be good choices, if your editor can't be fed a directory-of-images directly)
Feb 26, 2015 at 22:12 comment added Peter Cordes He asked how to do something LIKE a gif, just to give the idea of the kind of animation loop he was looking for. Since webm isn't widely supported yet, and HTML5 video is overkill for very short loops, GIF is still the widely used format for such animations. That doesn't mean it isn't terrible quality!
Feb 26, 2015 at 22:09 comment added Dr Mayhem Peter - the OP asks how to do gif. Also. It is perfect for some uses.
Feb 26, 2015 at 22:02 comment added Peter Cordes holy crap, you do NOT want to put your photos through GIF before using them. GIF only allows 256 colors, using a 256 entry palette of 24bit RGB colors. This is why gradients in GIFs of real photos look so terrible.
