I recently want to create animated gifs from videos. The idea was to get video previews, in a very lightweight file. After a quick search online, I found FFMPEG a fantastic multimedia framework to manipulate media. There is also a few wrapper that exists in different languages (ex: C#, JavaScript) but you still need to install FFMPEG locally, and I didn't want that. In fact, I wanted a simple solution that doesn't require any installation locally and something in the cloud. In this post, I want to share how I achieved the first one.
