The Want Ad said they were looking for entertainers…

I just tested this with a 8-second, 35MB mp4 video.

The “don’t do this” command made a crappy looking 316MB gif.

The suggested pair of commands, using the palette file, made a 57MB very nice looking gif.

Seems legit to me but I’m not, as you say, an expert.

Wait. I must be out of the loop. Who did what?

I’m reminded of the futurama time lapse when Fry is first frozen. Destroy, rebuild, destroy, rebuild, and so on…

Yah, or Slink maybe.

Please tell me they’re not trying to scoop all the algae out of there.
