GIF export fails [Questions Not a Bug]

Help/How To
1

Environment: Ubuntu 23.04, Shotcut 23.05.14.

GIF export fails, how do you set the GIF Animation preset during Export? I selected in the list, but still fails.

Use case: convert a mp4 video and turn it into a GIF (if that is even possible?)

Above I select “Export File” and it fails. The file is a mp4

Where can you select “Export > Presets > Stock > GIF Animation” ?

I used ffmpeg -i Cropped2.mp4 NeverEndingMMS.gif directly, but it generated a GIF image with no animation. Maybe there is something wrong with the MP4 file?

Look at your own screenshot. Above where you have selected GIF Animation is the category “Stock,” above that is the list heading “Presets,” and above that is the panel name “Export.” Here is the GIF animation I made when using that in the AppImage. How did you install Shotcut? To understand why your export job failed, right click it and view the log.

From your log shows that you chose the libx264 H.264 video codec to put into a GIF file format. You cannot do that. Choosing the GIF Animation preset and not changing anything else will not create that combination.

4

codec selected is “gif” what is an appropriate codec? Copied one log above, but maybe there is more details i can extract…

I am using a Flatpak install.

5

That is correct, but your log says something else. Why? If you turn off “Use hardware encoder” AFTER choosing GIF Animation, then it will change the codec from whatever the preset chose. Don’t do that. Click GIF Animation again!! I just tested the Flatpak, and that too works.

6

hmmm… weird i have no hardware encoding support and not selected in my case. When i select detect hardware encoders none is selected from the list, so i didn’t select it, but i can close the app and reopen and try again, just in case i did toggle one accidentally.

Are you saying hardware encoder is required?

Thanks for you help, I will see if I can establish hardware support. I am using a Trashcan MacPro 2013 running Ubuntu so it maybe a little difficult.

trying a few things.

Good luck

test

closest i have gotten, though it is just moving pixels around not the actual video frames.

Finally worked using:

ffmpeg -i Cropped2.mp4 -r 15 -vf scale=512:-1 \
  -ss 00:00:03 -to 00:00:06 -f image2pipe -vcodec ppm - |
  convert -deconstruct -delay 5 -loop 0 - test.gif
9

test3

Interestingly uploading the test.gif generated by ffmpeg (converting mp4 to gif) with shotcut to generate and export a test3.gif of reduced resolution works just fine btw. Using ppm codec and option in shotcut still fails trying to generate gif from mp4…
