ProjectM .gif

So ,,,,,,I've been playing at making .gif's

I wanted some cool abstract images to make some neat looking ones and was having some time of it trying to find/make some .

as I was sitting hear listening to music and watching ProjectM visuals ,,,I thought ,,,,,,dang hears an endless stream of cool visuals

SO ,,,,,,,, open terminal and navigate to an empty folder to do the work ,,,,,, use "avconv" to do a x11grab (screen capture) of ProjectM in full screen

avconv -f x11grab -s hd1080 -r 25 -i :0.0  out.mp4

strip images from the .mp4 video

avconv -i out.mp4 -r 5 -s 1920x1080 -f image2 foo-%03d.jpeg

select a section of images that might look good in a loop and copy them to a new folder .

cd to the new folder and use

mogrify -resize 640x480 *.jpg

to resize them down some from 1920x1080 ,,,,then

convert -delay 20 -loop 0 *.jpeg highres1.gif

and hear is what I got





next project will be to get a nice sequence of something a bit darker and less busy ,,,,keep it in 1920x1080 ,,,,slow it down a bit more ,,,,,,and turn it into an animated wallpaper for 16.04

Neat. I bookmarked your other .gif post and hope to try it. I hope you dummied it down so I can figure this out, would be a neat thing to do, many uses, ideas.

it's supper easy ,,,,feel free to question me if you get stuck.

if you use images from different sources and knead to get them all resized the same the "mogrify" command is your friend
