Description

Well, basically I'm trying to convert a movie to an animated gif. I love that it's as easy as:

ffmpeg -i movie_to_be_animated.mp4 output.gif

However, using 1.x branch the colors aren't as good:

http://pastebin.com/qWkNPrKP - this works, but colors aren't as good. especially with fading, and the file is huge (17MB).

I prefer this:
http://pastebin.com/hrpaavJT

However, as you can see in the attatched file, there is a flickering going on on the right there. And this is what this ticket is about. Why is that happening?

Decoding the output file shows artefacts on the right border.

Not really a regression, the border used to be initialized though.

comment:4 by Chillance, 10 years ago

So, any chance anyone can fix this soon?

comment:5 by Carl Eugen Hoyos, 10 years ago

[19:55] <Chillance> so, what is going on with https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/3831 ?

Sorry, I wasn't aware you are searching for a workaround - in this case, it would have been better to report to the ffmpeg-user mailing list.
The issue is not reproducible if you actually scale, the following is an example command line, many others are possible:

$ ffmpeg -i movie_to_be_animated.mp4 -vf super2xsai,scale=w=iw/2:h=ih/2 out.gif

Note that if you look at my examples, it was always necessary to create an input video with the right resolution first because scaling "fixes" the issue.

comment:6 by Chillance, 10 years ago

Ok, so that works, but means I had to redo the mp4 file, so I could scale it down. But hey, it works! Thanks!
