ffmprovisr VS gifski

The Handbrake suggestion is a good one if your only interest is transcoding ... which barely scratches the breadth of what ffmpeg as a tool can do.

Try: https://amiaopensource.github.io/ffmprovisr/

for a 'better' ffmpeg CLI documentation, your mileage may vary, it's task and example focused.

Try: https://github.com/topics/ffmpeg-gui

for 66 variations on a GUI for ffmpeg of which I have no comment, I'm an old school CLI user through and through.

I wonder if you’ve seen this. And what about that you found useful and/or not useful.

ffmprovisr https://amiaopensource.github.io/ffmprovisr/

just put whatever you need in ffmpeg call in the loop i posted. it's all up to you, what encoder to use, what bitrate or CFR value, what resolution. i think you'll find this site helpful in getting what you want -> https://amiaopensource.github.io/ffmprovisr/ you'll find a shitload of examples there, that you can modify to suit your use case.

You can do that with ffmpeg, but the output isn't ideal

I'd use gifski: https://gif.ski/

If image quality is more important than size then give Gifski a try. No idea how it's on win but on a mac it's my default GIF solution.

To make a legitimate high quality GIF, you can try Gifski. YMMV, I haven't tried using it yet but that's what some of the people at highqualitygifs say they use to make actual GIFs.

To convert only - https://gif.ski

gifski does a great job at being relatively simple, while handling quality stuff for you.
